Anyway, if you travel by HSR, I presume your journey will look like this
Option A: Futian HSR then HK Airport Express
1. From your Shenzhen hotel to Futian HSR station: YMMY
2. Waiting for the HSR and the train journey itself: I would say about 15+20 mins, including the time for elevators
3. Boarder clearance: if there are many foreigners crossing mainland boarder, it can take 30mins and more
4. Exiting HK West Kowloon station and walking to Kowloon Station: about 15 mins
5. Waiting for and taking HK Airport Express train: about 10+25 mins.
Option B: Futian HSR then taxi to HKG airport
1. From your Shenzhen hotel to Futian HSR station: YMMY
2. Waiting for the HSR and the train journey itself: I would say about 15+20 mins, including the time for elevators
3. Boarder clearance: if there are many foreigners crossing mainland boarder, it can take 30mins and more
4. Waiting for taxi at HK West Kowloon station: YMMY, sometimes there is no wait, sometimes it takes about 10-15mins. to wait for a taxi
5. Taxi to HKG airport: about 25 mins.
"I’m assuming the 1-1.5 hours is by car?" Yes, from Futian central location via Huanggang, Lok Ma Chau checkpoints. Other checkpoints may incur additional travel time depending on your origin.
If I'm staying in Shenzhen, it’ll only be at the StR or the Four Points (4P).
Sounds like once I get to Futian HSR, it'll be about an hour to HKG? If this is on a Friday, and there are no more HSR tickets, what will the journey time be like?
Thank you!
