Hong Kong Airport Terminal 2

After a couple of transfers on the MTR, the Airport Express dropped us off at Airport Station, where Terminal 1 is on one side and Terminal 2 is on the other. (Clever!)

The entrance to Terminal 2 is, might I say, a bit grander than I’ve come to expect back in the states.



Fearing crazy lines to check in for this low-cost carrier flight, we arrived with plenty of time to spare; the line we ended up in included all of two people in front of us.



Since we had prepaid for everything, checking in was a pretty standard affair that only took a couple of minutes tops and we were on our way to the train. Passport control and security were extremely quick and courteous, just like our other experiences getting into and out of Hong Kong.




Not only were we checking in at Terminal 2, but we were also departing from the new remote concourse’s 200-series gates, so we had another train ride before we found our destination.




The downside of the remote concourse is that it doesn’t have any lounges yet. They’re under construction. So we stopped for a bowl of macaroni and beef soup with fried eggs on top (Is this a real dish in Hong Kong or was somebody pulling a fast one?) and milk tea and made our way to the gate.
