hi, i will arrive macau on the 26th of March at 21:30. Are there buses from the airport going to the wynn or starworld hotel? IS it for free?
Jan. 10,2010 01:18
Ms.Liv replied:
No free shuttle bus. You can take airport bus AP1 to Hotel Lisboa. The walk to Wynn next to it. The bus fare is 5MOP.

Ms.Doris(Philippines) replied:
Hi Ms. Liv, thank you very much! Anyway, i was hoping there are hotel buses that I can ride from the airport since it was posted in some of their websites. Anyway, does bus A21 service until midnight?

Ms.Doris(Philippines) replied:

What things can i do to while the hours? Does Macau have twenty-four hour cafe's? Or coffee shops? Or fastfood restaurants? Or a place i can stay to read a book? thank you

Mr.Hank replied:
Hi Doris, confused by your itinerary? Do you mean that you will arrive in Macau by a flight at 21:30, and then would like to take a ferry to Kowloon in Hong Kong?
If so, I think you don't have to stay in Macau. When you arrive Macau Airport, please take the bus Ap1 (MOP4.2)to get to Macau Ferry Terminal in 20 minutes. Here, you could catch a First Ferry at 22:30 to arrive at the China Ferry Terminal, Tsi Sha Tsui, Kowloon. You could search the ferry and book ticket on: http://www.nwff.com.hk/eng/search/
Ps: the AP1 is in operation from 06:56 until to 24:20.

Ms.Doris(Philippines) replied:
Yes Mr. Hank, I will arrive Macau at 21:30. However, I'm thinking of options in case my flight will be delayed. I have checked online that the last trip of China Ferry is at 22:30, so that's just a window of 1 hour. If my ETA will not be on time, I want to know my options or what I can do to while the hour...until the 7:00 ferry. So, do you have any suggestions in case I have no plans of checking in on one of the hotels in Macau? Does the ferry terminal close?

I'm going to hongkong via macau. I'm going to stay at kowloon (tsim sha tsui) and intend to use the ferry (first ferry). May I know whether any bus service from macau airport to the ferry terminal and vice versa and how much is the fare. May I know whether any charges for luggage as I'm carrying a luggage (not the check in luggage standard)?

Mr.Jamie replied:
At Macau Airport, you could take the bus AP1 to arrive at the ferry terminal directly, and vice versa. The fare is only MOP4.2. You could carry two luggages for free.

I am arrving in Macau airport at 8.05pm on 26th Dec Sat and want to go to Kowloon. How long does it take to go through immigration and baggage collection? Shall I just use the taipa ferry terminal and land in HK and then get a taxi to Kowloon? Do I need to book my ferry tickets in advance?
Dec. 23,2009 21:43
Ms.Liv replied:
At least half a hour to go through immigration and baggage collection then out of the airport. Taipa Ferry terminal has ferry to HK-Macau Ferry Terminal in Sheung Wan. Do not worry about the time, for there is still ship till very late. No need to book ferry ticket advance. It is Cotai Jet, you can book online if you want.

HI,MY PLANE WILL ARRIVE IN MACAU AIRPORT SATURDAY MORNING 01:00 AM, I'M PLANNING TO TRAVEL TO SHENZHEN & HONGKONG, WHICH THE BETTER OPTION, TO SHENZHEN FIRST BY FERRY OR BUS THEN TO HONGKONG OR HONGKONG FIRST THEN TO SHENZHEN. IS IT SAFE IF I WAIT IN AIRPORT OR FERRY TERMINAL TO WAIT THE FIRST FERRY? THKS

Mr.Jason5 replied:
Hong Kong is the better choice, for there is no ways to Shenzhen at that time. There are night ferry between Macau and Hong Kong. Get to Hong Kong first and then to Shenzhen by ferry or bus or mtr. It denpends on where are you going to SHenzhen. Take a taxi from Macau airport to the ferry terminal. It is safe.
