They need to arrive at the airport and switch to a bus. I have not heard of such package deal between the AE and the bus company.

This way, I am thinking they can just buy one AE ticket and then a regular HK$17 MTR to Tung Chung.
That should work, but should do OLCI first to make sure they secure their seats.

I guess even if one buys one $90 AE ticket plus two $17 MTRs, it's still cheaper then buying 2 AE tickets, especially if they have to buy $14 Tsing Yi to Tung Chung tickets.
My wife did that years ago for some reason. She checked in at AE but did not use the ticket. I forgot the details.

Yes, if they are near Nathan Road, take A21 (@HKD33, but slower as it goes North on Nathan Rd until it reaches Mongkok) to the airport and check in there first before going elsewhere. If they are near Jordan Road, take A22 (@HKD39) and check in first at the airport.
*** Caution *** Regardless of what they are taking, please be very, very aware of the time. It is not a short ride. Cable car may have problem from time to time (not to mention a long wait) and bus ride takes about 45 min (plus some waiting time). To catch 2:30pm flight, they need to go very early and may not be able to have lunch there.
