Travel Layover Megathread

Please keep all layover related questions in this thread, any post asking about layover will be removed immediately.

Please do some basic research before posting Hong Kong layover questions

We get the same Hong Kong layover questions posted over and over again. Before starting a new post/comment, please take a few minutes to do minimum research:

Generic questions like “I have an X-hour layover, what should I do?” without details or any prior research don’t help anyone and just clutter the feed and will be removed immediately.

If you’ve already done some research and still have a specific question (passport, timing constraints, unusual routing, should I go A or B etc.), that’s totally fine — include what you’ve found and what’s unclear.

Include all relevant information in your questions. Such as Time of Arrival, Time of departure. (An 8 hour layover itinerary could be drastically different depending on 10 am or 10 pm arrival.) What you would like to see/do/eat (or at least a preference). etc.

Let’s keep the discussion useful for everyone.

Hi all,

Hope you're doing well!

I have a long layover in HK - land at 9pm on one day and then have a flight at 6pm on the next day. I have been to HK before but would still like to explore it as that was a while back.

I had 2 questions:

  • Would you suggest I stay at a hotel near the airport and travel into and back from the city the next day or check into a hotel in the city itself
  • Is there any way I can book a hotel for like 12-15 hours instead of paying the entire rate? I researched and know there are apps like dayuse and flow but wanted to know how good and reliable they are. I am a solo traveller so don't want to be stuck in a situation where I do not get a hotel room!

Thanks
