Then we cancel our last leg of the ticket by calling MPC hotline when we arrive.
The ex-TPE strategy is very interesting for me, especially as I have a ton of miles that I can use for the positioning flight. I assume that I could do OLCI for HKG - TPE - HKG - LHR - EDI on the outward sectors. Do you have to clear immigration at TPE, since there are two separate tickets, or can you just go straight through transit?
