By now, one pair of direct flights between Hong Kong and Zhengzhou is available on every Monday and Thurseday. Passengers only need to spend about 2.5 hours to get to their destination, which helps reduce about 3.5 hours at least comparing with taking high speed trains. However, the maximum ticket fare of an economy class seat can reach up to CNY3,500 (USD 480), which is much more expensive than taking bullet trains.

Therefore, passengers can choose the suitable means according to self-conditions. Passengers who have limited travel budget can choose to take high speed trains that can save much money. If passengers have tight travel time, taking planes is a better choice.
