hong kong airport transfersoctopus card

Question

Hi,I am travelling a group of 4 and need to travel from airport to Yau Ma Tei. I understand that there is an airport express (AE)ticket of 4 for HK150. Must I purchase 4 Octopus cards too? I saw this from the website and confused what I should buy. Is it free too for group tickets? Please advise.Passengers using Octopus Card to pay for travel on the AE can enjoy free travel on the the whole of the MTR network (including the mainland border stations of Lo Wu and Lok Ma Chau) to or from any AE Station provided all connections are made within one hour of each otherSome other questions:1. The airport transfer group tickets are valid on the day of issue only as according to the website. How about return tickets from Yau Ma Tei back to airport? Where do I buy it if I can't buy on the same day at customer service centre?2. How and where do I claim back the deposit of Octopus card? Is it available at the customer service centre at the airport?Thanks.

If you have an octopus card, you can use it to buy the AE rides, and you can get a free ride on MTR. I’m afraid it will not be fee for group ticket.Actually, you are not suggested to take the AE, for it cannot get you to Yau Ma Tei area directly. You can take the airport shuttle bus A21 to Man Ming Lane, Nathan Road. Then you can walk to your destination. Yes, you are right. It is only valid on the day of issue. The ticket is only issued in the airport, so you cannot buy it in downtown area. When you go back to the airport, you can walk to Pitt Street, Nathan Road to take the bus A21 to the airport.When you get off the train, you can walk to the customer service center to take the get the refund.
