1) the current Skypier is like a temporary building - enough piers for the ferries to land but they do not have proper facilities/space within the building to retrieve the checked-in luggage (from the check-in ferry terminal in Macau). The last time I was there they were doing the retrieving on the corridor (lucky me only travel with hand luggage). Very messy esp. with all look-alike luggage (and worst if they are PRC tour gps due to some of their less than desirable behavior in crowdy place, only one word to describe - TMD 乱). Best if can hand carry your luggage to the ferry (like those luggage that could be hand-carry into the plane). If the ferry is quite full, best try to sit near the exit if time is tight for the flight. The building is quite small and the queue at the check-in counter at the building can be quite messy (watch out for queue cutter just tell them off they usually will back-off). You also get some money/rebate back after getting your ticket(another queue but usually faster than check-in queue but can be quite kan cheong if time is tight).

2) the coach from the skypier to the terminal is like 15-20 min ride esp. the coach travel slowly on a narrow perimeter road beside the airport. Then you have to wait and take the train within the airport to reach the hand-luggage screening/x-ray area before you reach the gate (probably add at least another 10-15 min depending on the crowd). As HKIA is like a Y-shape building, if your gate is at the end of the Y (higher no gate), good luck or start practising sprinting now or regret later.

Just my experience from not too long ago.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'll not consider taking the direct ferry from PRD ports to HKIA Skypier. Too much of a hassle.

Thanks to Bro Tony_Stark & Papillon!!

Definitely not my 1 st time taking a flight which normally is 2 hrs in advance. Base on your info of 4hr in advance it definitely make sense in this case, base on Bro Papillon's account. From what i have read thru the web it seems to tell me 1 hr is enough after getting off the ferry in HongKong. Which i felt very uncertain becos from my memory the immigration queue in HKIA is always very long.

In anyway thank you guys again for the valuable exprience!!

Yes, taking ferry from Skypier, do not clear the HK customs. Google it, the timings are somewhere. Problem is when you have checked-in luggage from Singapore. I missed it on my last trip cos went to get luggage after clearing customs and then can't get back in. Anyone can clarify.

It take only 45mins ferry from Skypier to ZH, much faster. Last time i took it back from ZH, baggage can be checked -in at ZH port so when you reach HKIA, no need to worry about baggage. What's more is i got a part refund of airport tax taking ferry from ZH to skypier.
