I understand you both :lol:, what does that mean? :iok :colors :funny:
Here are the times from the very nice TurboJet website and 45 minutes is right on target.

--- Quote from: apskip on October 24, 2008, 03:31:13 PM ---No, Boingo, that is not the speculation, which is about getting from Macau directly to Hong Kong Airport. Getting from
Hong Kong Island to Hong Kong Int. Airport is not the issue. To do that you first have to take a longer TurboJet into Hong Kong Island the HK/Macau Ferry terminal. When you combine that with the time to head back in the direction you just came from to Lantau Island, the sum of those two times is unreasonable compared to thte 45 minutes direct Macau to Kong Kong Int. Airport. You would only do it if you just missed one of the 4 departure times for the direct TurboJet.

Well not to put too fine a point on it, but you seem to be mixing your speculations. As you can see from peach's original posting she makes no mention of a direct Macao-HK Airport ferry. Her speculation was based on a helo or ferry transport to HK Island and then to the airport. As was mine.
Any discussion of a direct Macau-HK Airport ferry was injected hours later (by you) after we posted our speculation. To claim the original speculation even hinted of a direct Macau-HK Airport ferry connection is flat out WRONG. Please get your facts straight. If you have a beef with the original (peach) posting not mentioning your Macau-airport ferry solution, then take it up with her. :meow: So there...

Hey! :funny: Leave me out of it! :hides
So I do kinda think they may have done the chopper thing here because they may have otherwise had to wait a while for the next Turbojet. Wonder if they were surprised to find themselves right back where they started the trip to Macau and not at the airport at all? :lol:
So to summarize, if they take the chopper , they will arrive at Sun Tek Center and then they still have to get to the Airport by one of the 3 ways in my post above.
Or they can take the nice TurboJet direct Macau Ferry Terminal to HKIA, and if they have gotten a ticket they can pre check in and pre-pass thru Immigration which could be a nice timesaver as well.
I'm more interested in figuring out WHEN the Macau Tower tasks occurred...

:angel: You may be on to something, peach. The Heliexpress (Macau to HK Island) Helicopter Service you found uses Sikorsky S76 choppers. The preview vidcap does look a lot like a S76 (particularly the horizontal tail and retractable wheel covers. :tup:
