It's important to note than Minimum Connection Times apply only to flights that are on the same booking.

If you have a seperate booking with CX and Jetstar then MCTs are irrelevant - if your CX flight is delayed your Jetstar flights will be forfeited and you will have to start again. Also it is highly unlikely you will be able to interline bags from CX to Jetstar.

Seperate bookings between carriers are also unlikely to be covered under travel insurance - if you have not choice but to do this you should really consider overnighting in HKG and picking up your Jetstar flight the next day or be prepared for all travellers to purchase new fares...

1. Does HKG to SIN count as an international flight on Jetstar?

Yes


2. Is it possible to check-in (and get boarding passes) for the Jetstar flight before leaving TPE?

No


3. If we can't do #2, and if the flights HKG-SIN were purchased together, would we be able to check in the last 2 passengers for them when we arrive at HKG? And then can they quickly get their boarding passes printed in time to catch the connecting flight?

No, they will need to check in themselves when they arrive.


2. What is the procedure for flight transfers in HKIA? Will we need to go through security again? (In both instances - with/without checked baggage)

If your flights are on two seperate bookings you will need to clear immigration, collect your bags and check-in again with Jetstar.
