My Choice is Intercontinental

Except GS is twice as close to KZ as regular which is a big deal with a baby.

there is no way you are leaving HKG in 20-30 minutes from when you land

Yes, I would say that's an overly optimistic timeframe. Especially depending on the time of day ie how many other planes have landed for the immigration lines/baggage handling.

My 0530 arrivals are fast. My mid-day and evening arrivals always take longer (on the baggage side)

So realistically, assuming i land at 825pm, and am in F (if that helps) and plan to take the train to the W... Approximately what time would i get there?

2200

10 min taxi
10 min disembark (if F) and walk to immigration
15 immigration
15 baggage
15 exit customs, purchase train ticket, wait for train
20 min train to Kowloon
some time to get to W lobby

Some of those things can go faster, and of course some of those things can take longer. And everything hinges on an on-time arrival.

Well said. Also depending on not making going the wrong way.

Could be confusing airport try to follow signs.

I don't think people go to China for good quality. They go for cheap.

Why bother? Do you want to gamble? There's almost nothing else to do there.

They have some good shows as well. Less expensive than in the US.
But not for less than 2 hours though.
