Shenzhen Airlines has announced its latest moves to make travel to Hong Kong both cheaper and more convenient. From May 27 onwards, passengers can use their plane tickets to enjoy a free bus shuttle service from Shenzhen Airport to Hong Kong.

The new service is available to those taking flights operated by Shenzhen Airlines, and departing from 57 mainland cities. These include municipalities such as Shanghai, Beijing and major tourist destinations such as Sanya and Guilin. In addition, the number of bus shuttle services between Shenzhen and Hong Kong will go up to as many as 90 every day.

Experts say the service has a huge price advantage over direct flights to Hong Kong. For example, an air ticket from Beijing to Hong Kong tends to cost around 2,000 yuan. But flying to Shenzhen on Shenzhen Airlines, and then taking a free shuttle bus to Hong Kong, adds up to as low as 800 yuan.
