HKIA: Hong Kong International Airport

Our Cebu Pacific flight is 7AM, so I pre-booked meals one week before our trip; I ordered Black Peppered Chicken and Chicken Rendang for P350 each. We just ate a light breakfast at the airport. 

I was a little bit disappointed because we waited so long for our meals. I’m sure you are aware that Cebu Pacific sells food during flight, and I waited till they reached my place before they gave us our pre-booked meals, and we are seated at #22, so imagine the long wait from seat #1.

I thought they would serve pre-booked meals ahead of time, just like in Air Asia. Air Asia distributed all pre-booked meals before selling food to all passengers who had not ordered.

Anyway, we were also disappointed with the food because the taste is so-so; we just finished everything because it is expensive for P350, and we’re really hungry. How I wish we could just eat heavy meals in DMIA or HKIA.


After 1 hour and 55 minutes, we landed HKIA. I’ve been in a few international airports and HKIA is one of the biggest airports that I’ve seen so far.


Imagine there’s a train inside the airport, and we need to ride the train to get to the other side, where we will pick up our luggage. I was excited for my son because this was his first train ride experience.


On your way to the immigration and luggage area, do not forget to get maps and brochures, they are everywhere in the vicinity and it is free. 

After picking up our luggage, I looked for the Customer Service Counter to buy our Octopus Card and China Travel Services (CTS) for our discounted tickets, but unfortunately, I couldn’t find the CTS.

I did not bother to find it anymore, and off we went to the bus station. We rode the A21 bus going to Tsim Sha Tsui (TST) Fare: $HK33. 

Our initial plan is to visit Ngong Ping Village, but because of the rain showers we decided to go straight to Yiu Fai Guesthouse to check in our luggage.
