SZX · T3 plus a satellite hall, three runways since November 2025, and a direct Line 11 station. Official 2025 traffic is 66.485 million. International Priority Pass is still one guest room; domestic CZ rooms are better if your gate is nearby.
HKG · A three-runway hub with a new T2 check-in building (opened 27 May 2026) feeding T1 gates by APM. Official 2025 traffic is 61 million passenger trips, not a 70 million capacity slogan. Airport Express is still the cleanest city link; Kyra Gate 23 is the Priority Pass room that is actually worth the walk.
