Leaving from Adelaide Airport (ADL)
Domestic and international flights share one terminal at Adelaide, so families positioning to Melbourne or Sydney for a non-stop start in the same building — but book the domestic leg on the same ticket (or allow 3 h+) because the gateway transfer is the risky part.
Arriving at Hong Kong International Airport (HKG)
- Cathay Pacific's flights use Terminal 1. If both flights are on one ticket you stay airside when you connect, and bags go straight through.
- The Airport Express train reaches Kowloon in about 22 minutes and Hong Kong station (Central) in about 24 minutes, for roughly HK$110–130 one way. A taxi to Central takes about 30–45 minutes.
- Entry: Australians generally don't need a visa for visits of under 90 days. Vapes and heated tobacco products are illegal to bring in, even if you're only transiting the airport: https://www.smartraveller.gov.au/destinations/asia/hong-kong
