KUL-HKG-TPE in J with 2 hours layover. KUL got held up by weather. At HKG, ground staff waited at the gate, told me everyone had boarded for TPE and the gate was on the other side of the airport. She then grabbed my carry-on, took me to a staff-only lift, through a walkway on the ground floor, up another staff-only lift, then through the cabin-crew security lane. Made it to the gate in less than 10 minutes.

All that was left for me to do was to smile awkwardly at all the staring eyes once boarded.
