2. Mainland/Macao connection via the SkyPier Terminal Transfer Coach Service

There’s a tall brown lightbox labelled “SkyPier Terminal Transfer Coach Service”, which lists important information like the coach timetable and the first and last departures of the day. Coach transfers run every 60 minutes, though the frequency may increase if there’s an uptick in passengers.

To get your ticket, join the Zhuhai queue at the ticketing desk – this is separate from the Macao queue. A representative of the coach operator Zhuhai HK Airport Direct will ask if you have a combined flight and coach booking ticket. If so, you’ll need to show your travel documents, flight ticket and baggage tag receipt (sometimes attached to your boarding pass). Then, they’ll help you print your ticket and transfer any checked bags you have to the SkyPier Terminal, which is where you’ll collect your bags before boarding the coach.

The representative will also provide you with a sticker that shows you’re Zhuhai-bound –display it somewhere prominent to help the SkyPier team differentiate you from the Macao-bound passengers.

If you haven't made a coach booking, you can pay for a ticket for the next available coach now with cash, or by credit card, WeChat Pay or Alipay. An additional fee will be charged if you have more than one piece of checked baggage or if it exceeds the weight or size limit.

Please note that only same-day transfers are allowed – this means your coach must depart on the same date your flight arrives in Hong Kong. If you’re planning to make a combined flight and coach booking, allow for sufficient time to catch the coach after landing at the airport.
