Klook.com - cheap airport express tickets
I can't take credit for this at all, I found it though here:
http://hktravelblog.com/general/airport-express-tips/
Anyway the above blog points to a site called Klook, which offers extremely cheap Airport Express tickets, to the point where a return to Hong Kong Station is HK$131 instead of HK$180 if you buy it at the Airport Express counters.
You buy through the Klook website or app and get an email which you show at the Airport Express counters to redeem your ticket. I can confirm I've tried it a few without problems. I also note others on FT have used it as well:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/25941591-post13.html
Anyway the relevant Klook website link for AE tix is here: http://www.klook.com/activity/71-air...ess-hong-kong/

Edited: Nevermind - while these prices are nice, it's not as cheap as Hong Thai's 35% off, which seems to be on-going for 2016. $117 / 104 for r/t to HK and Kowloon station.
Maybe mods can merge with this thread: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/hong-...-discount.html

Is it possible to buy the one way ticket from Hong Thai website to go TO the airport (departing from Kowloon or Hong Kong station)? Or can it only be used if the airport is the starting point?
Thanks!
Thanks!

For Hong Thai I want to buy tickets for my family arriving into HKIA. Is it possible for me to buy them via my account and then send the redemption form to my family for them to redeem?
I know my family can open account themselves, but I've just opened an account with Hong Thai and its not so straightforward (especially, like me, if you don't read Chinese). I don't think my family would be able to navigate the account opening.

You can input your own pick-up person and his/her email. That person will need to print the confirmation and show an ID when picking up ticket.

Just added Klook (27% off discount) to the wiki.
Although it's slightly more expensive than Hong Thai, you receive the e-redemption voucher instantly by e-mail after paying on the website/app.
I've also added two promo codes available for app/HSBC users.
