If you arrive before June 30, 2012, don't forget to ask for your promotional pack when you collect your Airport Express Travel Pass:

Also, the AETP is just another Octopus card and I recommend that you load HK$100 into it for other sundry purchases, including buses, trams, Star Ferry rides, etc. as well as at many other merchants, e.g., at 7-11, etc.
Any unused value plus the HK$50 deposit for the AETP is also fully refundable. So allow yourself extra 10~15 minutes on departure at the airport to return the card to claim your refund!
You probably know but don't forget the Airport Express rides are separate from the MTR (subway/tube) rides. Your 3 days unlimited travel starts at first use of the MTR system, not the Airport Express.
