+1. The train seems to be the quickest and easiest option. That's what I plan on taking.

Fair point. Traveling with just carry-ons without kids is quite different.

Fair enough. I did it with one kid and the luggage piled on the stroller. Was not the easiest, but was simple enough.

I see the quotes.
Asking:
A. If anyone has any experience with Uber to/from HKG (as the price can sky rocket in traffic)
B. If anyone has a reliable driver in a van for a decent price that i can prearrange for a pickup.

I took a taxi one-way and a train the other.
Taxis in HKG are pretty cheap.

Can I expect a long taxi line? Want to avoid that if possible. (i sound like a kvetch, but i will be a huge one after the flight)
