Asia Miles is the FF programme of Cathay Pacific.
JW Marriott

Two of us. So that is $160 HKD each way for two or $320 RT. (versus $285 x 2 - $50 refund each). Plus Octopus card.

Thus for visitor pass:
$285 * 2 = $570 - $100 = $470.

Group ticket:
$160 * 2 = $320 + Octopus card

How much is a single ride within Hong Kong on the train with the card?
