The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time, given both per carrier and across all carriers on the route; where a schedule does not publish an elapsed time, it is derived from the scheduled departure and arrival times converted to UTC.

Public buses operated by Transmac and TCM are frequent and inexpensive, linking the airport area on Taipa to the Macau peninsula, Cotai, and Coloane. The Macau Light Rapid Transit (Taipa line) also stops at the airport and offers a fast, dedicated right-of-way into central districts, including the Barra station on the peninsula. Most four-star and higher hotels and major casinos run free shuttle buses from the airport, which are a good choice if your hotel participates.
