I will be moving from the UK to HK in about 6 weeks time to work at Airport. At the moment I have not yet finalized where I will be staying but I am leaning towards renting a Serviced Apartment in somewhere like Central, Sheung Wan or Kowloon to begin with, until I can find my feet. I have been looking into transportation options if I was to live at Sheung Wan and travel to the Airport every morning. If I am honest the more I look into it the worse I feel. I am aware of the A11 bus etc, but I am not sure how long the journey would actually take during rush hour. Also I am beginning to feel that there must be better expat type areas with easier (quicker and cheaper) transportation links to the Airport. I would like a my commute to be less than 1hr each way, with the minimum number of connections possible.
Can anyone give me some advice please ?....
1. Do you make the journey to the Airport from HK Island? If yes, how do you get there (public transport), how long does it take and would you recommend a particular location?
2. Are there any other people working at the Airport who would recommend perhaps that I move to somewhere else, closer to the Airport? I have also looked at Tsing Yi, Mui Wo and Discovery Bay?
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am fast running out of time !!
