TurboCat to HKIA

At the end of our holiday inHK %26amp; Macau we have from Macau to HKIA for our trip back to Australia.

My travel agent has suggested Flying Cat to Hong Kong and then private transfer to HKIA (total cost AUD$206).

On reading other posts in this forum it would appear the TurboCat from Macau to HKIA might be a better option - possibly quicker and cheaper for my wife and I?

If this is the case then should I purchase the TurboCat tickets in Kowloon before I holiday to Macau or just purchase them once I get to Macau?

Does the TurboCat allow travelling luggage as well as passengers? What happens once we are at the HKIA TurboCat terminal - how do we get from the ferry to Qantas terminal? What about our luggage? Where is Immigration done?

Thanks in advance....Denza

TurboCat to HKIA

Thanks xiantraveller....Yes I have seen the TurboCat website and it is quite useful.

But I was really after someone who has used this service and their opinions of the experience.

My wife and I are getting on in years (63 %26amp; 66) and need a %26#39;painless%26#39; transfer from Macau back to HKIA.

My latest experience of this transfer was in the opposite direction, just last Thursday. As long as you don%26#39;t have anything you want to be doing in downtown Hong Kong before going to the airport, this service is definitely the way to go. It%26#39;s a few hundred metres walk (at least feels like it) between getting off the ferry at Skypier and getting onto the bonded bus for the airport, but it%26#39;s level, and you only need to carry your cabin baggage - the heavy stuff will be handled for you. Also, at current exchange rates, it works out at less than AU$25 per person.
