    How to book a flight and ferry ticket

    If you’re departing from Taiwan China, book your Cathay Pacific ticket on our website and your ferry ticket via the ferry operator. We’ll arrange your bags to be checked through when you check in at your departing airport.

    To ensure a smooth travel experience, passengers travelling out of the GBA by ferry should arrive at Hong Kong International Airport:

    • at least 70 minutes before their flight departure time.
    • at least 80 minutes before their flight departure time if travelling from Macao.
    • at least 110 minutes before their flight departure time if check-in for their onward flight has not been completed (for all destinations including those in the US).
