    Relax, refresh and indulge: your 180-minute Hong Kong transit guide

    Sumptuous dining, high-end shopping and refined lounges. Whether you’re travelling for business or leisure, here are the best ways to enjoy some me-time during your three-hour layover in Hong Kong.

    1. Location, location, location

      Allow 10 minutes

    After getting off the plane, make a beeline for the concourse level of the Departures Area, situated near the low-numbered gates. Here, you’ll discover a diverse range of dining and shopping options.

    Make the most of your layover by signing up to HKIA’s new loyalty programme, ⁠HKairport Rewards , to earn points and rewards for your spending at the airport. 

    2. Go gourmet

    It’s time to rethink your idea of airport food: Hong Kong International Airport boasts an incredible array of fine cuisine, including 14 outposts of Michelin-acclaimed restaurant brands. Table for one? No problem at all. 

    If you're a fan of Tokyo’s Sushi Saito, you'll love its sister restaurant Sushi & Sake Bar Taka . Delight in Edomae sushi, sashimi and tempura dishes, made with ingredients flown in daily from Tokyo. The bar seating is perfect for solo diners who want to watch the chefs at work.

    Looking for a taste of Hong Kong? Be sure to stop by Duddell’s  for premium dim sum, or dine at Jardin de Jade  for regional Chinese fare.

    If you fancy a drink, Intervals Sky Bar & Restaurant  offers sweeping views of the runaways from the Sky Bridge. Sip your way through their signature cocktail flights and keep hunger at bay with a selection of pinchos inspired by international flavours.

    3. Treat yourself to some retail therapy

    From Gucci  and Prada  to Cartier  and Tiffany & Co. , you’ll find all the big fashion labels and luxury brands here. The airport is also a temple for lovers of French luxury, with duplex flagship stores for  Hermès , Chanel  and Louis Vuitton . Meanwhile Hong Kong luxury label Shanghai Tang  delivers modern Chinese chic.

    Shopping for gifts? TeaWG and Fortnum & Mason offer exclusive teas in lavish packaging, while Fook Ming Tong  focuses on premium Chinese tea leaves.

    No airport transit is complete without a stop at duty-free. Across Level 6 you’ll find an extensive range of liquor at Duty Zero by cdf , and fragrances and exclusive beauty products at Beauty&You by The Shilla Duty Free .

    If you prefer to shop from the comfort of your seat, browse and buy online at HKairportShop.com using HKIA’s free Wi-Fi – then have your purchases delivered to your boarding gate within just 90 minutes.

    4. Unwind and recharge

    Cathay Pacific members who are Silver and above can access our award-winning Business class lounges throughout the airport. Here you can rest in comfortable spaces, freshen up with a shower or enjoy a glass of premium champagne. There are plenty of grab-and-go and a la carte dining options, too – including our famed dan dan noodles.

    Cathay Pacific's Cathay Diamond members are also invited to savour the unparalleled privacy, comfort and service of The Wing, First, our exclusive First class lounge in the south departures hall transit area. 

    Looking to loosen up tired muscles? Squeeze in a visit to Oriental Massage  for a head, shoulder or foot rub before the next leg of your journey.

    5. Get ready to fly

      Allow 40 minutes

    Now that you’re refreshed and rejuvenated, it’s time to get to your connecting flight. We recommend getting to your gate at least 30 minutes before departure, so allow plenty of time. If you’re near Gates 40 to 80 and your flight departs from Gates 1 to 9, use the automated people mover to help you on your way.
