Flying YVR-TPE, visiting friends for a week. Afterwards, will fly direct TPE-China (CAN) to spend few days, then taking a ferry to HKG for a few more days.

To return to North America, I'll need to book HKG-TPE in the morning as my TPE-ICN flight leaves at 1:30pm on Asiana OZ. I'm wondering if it takes long to transit in TPE. Do I need to change terminals, etc...

For CX, they have many morning HKG-TPE flights at 8:35am, 9:10am, 10am, 11:15am, all are 1hr45m short flights. If I take the 10am flight, it arrives 11:45am. Is 1hr45mins enough time to connect in TPE? I will need to claim my luggage from CX and check-in OZ, probably will need to clear Taiwan customs, etc...

Another ques... which area in HK (TST/Central) is quickest to catch the MTR to HKIA? I haven't booked any hotels so this will help if I need to take an earlier fight.

Thx in advance!!
