Re: The APPT Macau: The First Texas Hold’em Poker Tournament in China!
Price will definitely increase under 14 and under 7 days.
Also, there's an Ask Garcia about Hong Kong thread in EDF. He can probably help more regarding the ferries, etc.

Ok so I have another question that probably has an obvious answer lol. As of now I can get a plane ticket from Grand Forks, ND to HK for $1200 after all taxes and fees. Say I wait until I have received my passport for sure, how much will the price increase? I have always believed that the earlier the better when it comes to ticket prices but does anyone have any experience in what prices to expect if you book a week or less before your trip? thanks [/ QUOTE ] Conservatively I would say at least 50% if not 100% or more.

Hi, if I do recieve a passport in time my flight will arrive in Hong Kong at 10:05pm. Are their any ferries that will be running this late at night so I can arrive in Macau that night? [/ QUOTE ] If you were to arrive in HKIA after the last TurboJet ferry leaves the HKIA ferry terminal at 10pm, you have two options: 1. Stay overnight at a lounge at HKIA. You can rent a "napping" chair and a shower at the 24-hour lounge on Level 7, West Departure Hall, near Gate 36. Spend the night in the lounge until the next morning to catch the first ferry, which leaves the HKIA ferry terminal at 10:50am. enquiry.pplhk@plaza-asia.com http://www.hongkongairport.com/eng/tbu/shower.htm This method does NOT require you to clear customs and immigration in Hong Kong, and does NOT require you to use public transportation in Hong Kong late at night to get to the Sheung Wan ferry terminal. 2. Clear customs and immigration in Hong Kong, take the Airport Express train to the Hong Kong terminal, hire a taxi to the Hong Kong-Macau ferry terminal in Sheung Wan, and take the ferry to Macau Ferry Terminal, where you will have to hire a taxi to get you to the hotel (last shuttle bus leaves at 11:45pm, so you will miss that as well). I do NOT recommend this option if you are traveling on your own and you don't speak any Cantonese. -- My advice: try to book something other than Northwest through Tokyo for evening arrival if you can because your connection to Hong Kong will get there very late. (Morning arrival in Tokyo is OK, as you can then connect to a flight to Hong Kong for early afternoon arrival.) United has 1 nonstop flight to HKIA each from Chicago O'Hare, Los Angeles and San Francisco each day for evening arrival, in time for the 10pm ferry. A number of us will arrive on Tuesday between 6pm and 8pm and will meet up at the HKIA ferry terminal. Cathay Pacific offers 3 nonstop flights from Los Angeles and 2 nonstop flights from San Francisco, with your choice of early morning arrival (in time for the 10:30am ferry) or evening arrival (at 7pm, in time for the 10pm ferry). Cathay Pacific has a code-sharing agreement with American Airlines if frequent-flyer miles is an issue.

Fargo to Hong Kong requires only one plane change on United at Chicago O'Hare and you will get to HKIA by 5pm, with plenty of time to spare before the 10pm ferry. $1098.20 if booked at united.com. You do have to depart Fargo very early, i.e. 6am departure. -- United.com's fare sale from the U.S. to Hong Kong has been extended to November 13.

I had been looking and I don't know how I completely forgot about Fargo, I was worried about what I was going to do after reading about the ferry service after 10pm. P.S. I see that the plane on the return flight leaves Hong Kong at 11:40am, will I be able to catch a ferry early enough to arrive at HK to go through inspection and board the plane?

First ferry from Macau to HKIA leaves at 8:15am. You should be inside the airport terminal by 9:45am. Note that you can check your luggage straight through from the Macau ferry terminal onto your United flight. There is no need to reclaim your luggage when you get off the ferry at the HKIA skypier. Note that you will need to hire a taxi from the hotel at 6:30am to get to the Macau Ferry Terminal by 7am in order to board the 8:15am ferry. TurboJet Sea Express recommends that you arrive at the Macau Ferry Terminal 75 minutes before your ferry departs.
