If you read the turbojet link carefully, it will answer all of your questions regarding the ferry service from HKIA.
1) Yes, you can buy the tickets in advance for the ferry ride, although not necessary.
2) If you have luggage, you do not need to go through immigration or claim your bags. Just go ahead to the ferry transfer in terminal 1 on 5F at HKIA and buy your ticket/check-in, give them your luggage tags and they will fetch and transfer your bags onto the ferry for you. However, with luggages, you MUST arrive at the ferry counter no later than an hour prior to departure so they have enough time to fetch your bags.
3) Depending on where you are coming from/airline. The airline staff at your originating city might be able to tag your bags directly through to the Macau Pier. I did this with Cathay Pacific flying from Taipei, cannot confirm about other airlines or cities.
4) You cannot buy packages at HKIA. If you've never been to Macau, I do not recommend buying the packages at shun tak because it limits on what you want to do once you get to Macau. It's really not that much money you are saving anyways, so just decide on where you want to visit on your own terms. | |
