How to travel around Hong Kong by air

What to expect when flying between cities or connecting after an international arrival.

Flying between cities in Hong Kong

  • Check domestic flight details before booking
    This page does not currently list a verified, publicly bookable domestic passenger timetable. That reflects the information verified for this page; it does not confirm that private, charter, humanitarian, sightseeing or other special flights are unavailable. Before booking, confirm the airport pair, operating date, passenger eligibility and ticket availability with the operator.

Arriving from another country

  • Find your baggage carousel by flight
    The airport’s arrival guide directs passengers to baggage reclaim after immigration and to information boards showing the carousel for their flight. Immigration and baggage collection are separate stages; verify your travel documents and entry eligibility separately.
