- Hong Kong airport has free shower facilities in Terminal 2 — useful if arriving on an overnight flight before hotel check-in
- Check visa requirements: many European nationalities get 90 days visa-free, but ensure your passport is valid 6 months beyond arrival and has at least one blank page
- If flying Emirates or Qatar, use their free stopover programs — spend a day or two in Dubai or Doha at no extra airfare cost
- Book a mobile eSIM or grab a SIM at 7-Eleven at the airport arrival hall — Hong Kong has excellent data coverage and you’ll need it for Google Maps and transport apps
