You will travel by what? I recommend the direct ferry from Humen Pier to Skypier in HK airport. You can book the ticket here: cksp.com.hk

Or you can travel by high speed train from Humen Railway Station to Hong Kong West Kowloon Railway Station; the ticket can be booked right on this website. Upon arrival, change to local MTR or bus to the airport.

Why cannot one walk across the border any more? I haven't heard about it yet. Maybe it's the visa issues. If you hold a entry permit, you can travel between by any transport means.
