Taking a taxi from Hong Kong Airport to city centre
If you’re taking a taxi from the airport, you should know that there are three types of taxis in Hong Kong. The red taxis (the most common type) can take you to any place in Hong Kong.
However, if you’re going to the New Territories and the Outlying Islands, the green taxis and the blue taxis, respectively, will be the cheaper options.
An airport staff member will be stationed in front of the taxi stand asking passengers where they are headed. You can get an estimated cost (as well as a hotline number for any issues) from them before getting in a taxi.

Regardless of where you’re headed, Luggagent can transfer your luggage from the airport to your accommodation, and vice versa.
