Firs time to Macau

1. Macau is much smaller than Hong Kong; most people would probably think 2 full days in Macau would be enough, but if you are a serious foodie or gambler 4 days might not be enough!

2. All flights into HK arrive into the same hub, although it%26#39;s so big that there is a people mover (train) to bring people in from the further gates.

3. If you are going directly to Macau from HKIA, the Turbojet SeaExpress service is very convenient. Follow the Skypier signs after getting off your plane. The ticketing area is before you go through immigration. When you purchase your tickets, give the staff your luggage checks, and they will collect your check-in bags and transfer them to the ferry. The Skypier departure gate is about the most boring area in HK airport - if there is a long wait for your ferry transfer then after passing security you are free to return to the main airside area of the airport. Just ensure that you return to the gate lounge at least 45 minutes before your ferry departure time. A bonded bus transfers passengers to the ferry pier. which means there is a legal fiction that you have not entered Hong Kong, but that your flight dropped you directly in Macau.

4. As mentioned, Turbojet staff organise your bags on and off the ferry for you. At the Macau end you collect them from a trolley that comes in just past the immigration counters, on the right.

5. The ferry trip from HK airport is about 45 minutes. There is no need to prebook this service. For the return to Hong Kong you only need to book a day or two in advance if you will be travelling on a weekend or local public holiday. The trip between Macau and HK island or Kowloon takes about an hour.

6. I would stay on Macau peninsula, where most things are within walking distance.

7. There%26#39;s an embarrassment of good hotels to choose from; each has its own style and character. Mandarin Oriental, Lisboa, Wynn, MGM, Starworld, Sofitel and Royal spring to mind.
