Among those flying in this morning is Ha, who resided in Taiwan and has not seen his family members in Hong Kong for more than two years. Ha mentioned that his return to Hong Kong is a secret from his family members and he wanted to give them a surprise. "I have been waiting for this for almost three years," said 58-year-old Hong Kong resident, Barbara Van Moppes, who arrived from Bangkok. Meanwhile, flight bookings out of Hong Kong have seen a massive leap of 400 percent since the “0+3” scheme was announced. The average length of overseas hotel bookings for Hong Kong travelers is three to four days, said Eddy Yip, Trip.com’s e-commerce lead for Hong Kong and Taiwan.
