"The window seats in the early morning are best for watching the people rushing off to work. Friendly staff and usually pretty quiet atmosphere."

"If you are travelling to and from the mainland, buy your return tickets as soon as you arrive. Better safe than sorry. Usually buying in Hong Kong will get you a much better price."

"International transfers are painfully slow. Give yourself at least 3 hours between flights."

"If you are in business or first class and your gate is 28-31,just hang out on the main level instead. The lounge by gate 31 is small, warm, and pretty barren of anything interesting."

"There is very little cost difference between a basic room and a suite, so spoil yourself. It is great to have a living room!"

"Starbucks and a good grocery store only a short walk away. Rooms are dated but comfortable and cozy."
