1. Some posts refer to a Wiki, but I see no stand-alone Wiki on this topic. Is the reference to Wiki just this thread? If so, when someone says that it is "updated", where do I find the "update"?
2. If I purchase a one-way fare from Klook.com, for example, is that good only for HKIA to Kowloon for example? Or Can I use it instead from Kowloon (for example) to HKIA instead?

The Klook page linked in the Wiki gives instructions for redeeming vouchers both at the airport and at the other stations, so presumably they work in either direction.

FT wikis are a lot more obvious / easy to use when viewing FT using a PC or Mac web browser. One of the few limitations of the otherwise pretty decent FT mobile web version.

Thank you. Looks like all I need to do is order late in October and I should be fine. I actually need two of these as I have two stopovers, one each way. Ran the numbers and with the discount, I'll come out ahead on both stopover, since the MTR is my preferred mode of travel.

There's a promotion (free travel for Child Octopus Card holders aged 3-11 and half-price travel for Elder Octopus Card holders aged 65+) until 28 February 2018 which I've just added to the wiki. For details, see MTR > Airport Express promotion for children and seniors.

Apologies for thread-zombie -- first time taking the Airport Express; I can use my regular (non-tourist) Octopus Card, right?
If so, are there any discount ticket options that may be combined with free MTR interchange as described here?
I'm guessing no, as I'd have to use an Octopus Card to get through the turnstile at HKG airport ... ?

You guess right; as you need to dood out at HK or Kowloon station to registered the AEx ride for the complimentary MTR in town ride when you dood in.
Go to the MTR fare chart to see if a discounted ticket plus the paid MTR ride is cheaper.
