HK Express announced it is expanding its “Air + Ferry Pass” service by adding Air-to-Sea connections, providing round-trip connecting travel with ferry services in the Greater Bay Area (GBA) for the first time.
In collaboration with Chu Kong Passenger Transport Company Limited (CKS), the service gives HK Express customers access to 17 daily sailings from Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) to three ferry ports in Guangdong province. This convenient one-stop service enables more customers from the GBA to fly affordably on HK Express flights, while saving time and money.
With these new connections, the Air + Ferry Pass offers 11 daily round-trip sailings from Shekou Cruise Homeport to HKIA; three from Zhongshan Ferry Terminal; and three from Humen Hong Kong Macau Ferry Terminal in Dongguan. Upon reaching HKIA, customers can continue their journey to exciting HK Express destinations across Asia.
“By expanding our Air + Ferry Pass service, we can better integrate our network with the GBA, making it easier for our customers to enjoy HK Express’s affordable fares, unique destinations and quality service,” said HK Express CEO Jeanette Mao. “As we continue to broaden our presence in the GBA, we plan to add more ferry and air connections across the region.”
CKS has recently commenced its operations of Pazhou Ferry Terminal in Guangzhou.
HK Express Air + Ferry Pass offers a one-stop booking and check-in process. Pass holders do not have to pay extra baggage fees for their ferry transfer, with their baggage checked through to their final destination with HK Express. They will also be exempt from paying the Hong Kong Air Passenger Departure Tax.
To enjoy the benefits of the Air + Ferry Pass, customers travelling to or from the GBA must book a ferry service and HK Express flight with a minimum connection time of 90 minutes within the mandated timeframe. This covers routes to incredible destinations like Bangkok, Phuket, Chiang Mai, Fukuoka, and Tokyo (Narita and Haneda).
