No line to buy Octopus card or to refund it at conclusion of trip.
Sorry for resurrecting this old thread.
Just curious if the same day return fare for the Hong Kong Airport Express train means "return within 24 hours" (rather than same date) with the Octopus card?
I will arrive HKG late in the evening, take the airport express to the city and return to HKG the following morning.
