The Airport Express In Town Check In Service counters are open from 05-30am to 00-30am.

However if after using the In Town Check In facility passengers subsequently choose to travel to the airport by any form of transportation other than the Airport Express no refund is given and the Airport Express fare is forfeited.

AIRPORT PUBLIC BUS SERVICES
Almost all areas of Hong Kong are served by frequent scheduled bus services to and from the airport Ground Transportation Centre. Buses to Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories travel along the Lantau Link, Tsing Ma Bridge and routes A10, A11, A12 and A22 also cross the Stonecutters Bridge, opened in late 2009, and provide a scenic and interesting journey. There are clear direction signs from the Arrivals Hall to the bus terminus at the Ground Transportation Centre (about 3 minutes walk), from where the buses depart, and there is a detailed information display board detailing all routes at the entrance to the bus terminus.
Information display at the entrance to the airport bus terminus gives details of bus routes and departure stands.
Hong Kong Island and Kowloon are served by double deck “Cityflyer” buses and “external” buses operated by Citybus.
"Cityflyer" Bus A11 at the airport ground transportation centre
“Cityflyer” buses have plenty of luggage space and are equipped with visual scrolling information displays upstairs and downstairs and audible announcements detailing each bus stop on the journey and hotels and other landmarks in the vicinity in English and Chinese. There is also a recorded commentary with information about points of interest on each route, such as Lantau Island and the Tsing Ma Bridge. Luggage storage areas are covered by CCTV which can be also monitored from upstairs. Free wi-fi internet access is available on all buses on "Cityflyer" routes.
Over a period of two years from 2013 to 2015 the whole of the "Cityflyer" fleet was replaced. The first four new buses entered service in April 2013 and about half the fleet had been replaced by the end of 2013. The new buses feature reclining high-back leather seats, individual reading lights above upper deck seats and larger luggage racks. Multi-functional LCD panels will display the names of the next three bus stops and hotel names, luggage rack areas will be monitored by CCTV and all buses will be equipped with free wi-fi.
The “external” E number prefix buses have audible and visual next bus stop announcements displays and luggage space. However, these services, which are cheaper than "A" prefix routes and popular with airport workers, take a longer route via airport buildings and Tung Chung.
The New Territories are served by double-deck "Airbus" buses operated by Long Win Bus Company which are similar to the "Cityflyer" buses and have plenty of luggage space and next bus stop information.
Tung Chung and South Lantau are served by buses jointly operated by Long Win Bus and Citybus and by New Lantao Bus Company.
