23 min to central on the MTR. Not really such a loooong way :!:

Any directions on how to get MTR from Times Square to the Airport? Is it easy/hard? I now have a flight on Monday evening HKG-PVG on Dragonair at 7PM so am thinking either a cab from office at 4PM or MTR - but have never been on MTR before...

You get to 'Causeway Bay' MRT station and head to Central (2 Stops IIRC). Transfer there to Airport Express; one way cost for Airport Express is HKD100 (~AUD17) (FWIW, so is Day Return)

AS an update we used the MTR to get back to the hotel last night and today we are off to see the Big Buddha so that is a test run out towards the airport

MTR? Do you mean MRT?

MRT = Singapore (and also Bangkok)
MTR = Hong Kong.

I get horribly confused myself over which are which

 

[Kiwi Flyer]

You're right, MTR is Hong Kong, MRT is Singapore (and Bankgok, Manila, Delhi and Jakarta, and probably some others). Sorry.

Hey Kiwi Flyer, how about you and I make a bid for Qantas, with financial backing from oz-mark or Lindsay Wilson.:shock:

That way we non contestors could influence the comp.

I could probably give enough financial backing to buy a tyre or something like that

A drink in the QP would be backing enough, imagine the bragging rights you would have.
