Given that I'm connecting on the last flight ex-HKG, I do not want to actually stay an extra 9 hours overnight waiting for the next flight out.
Edit: Flights are CX934 to CX524
P.P.S: Strangely CX934 is not showing up anymore even when I look at MNL-HKG for April 6... that is kinda weird, is it possible they scrapped the flight?
I arrived in TPE early about 3-4 years ago and tried to get on an earlier flight. The check-in agent said there would be a USD100 charge, but she immediately asked her supervisor and waived the fee as my original flight was delayed for 30 min (although I didn't have a connection in HKG). So if you arrive in the airport early and if there is a delay for your CX934 flight, they may put you on an earlier flight. (They may actually be willing to do that without any delay anyway to avoid rebooking you just in case.)
I checked on EF. CX934 was there but was zeroed out for all cabins starting 26 March. If they indeed cancel that flight, you should be able to get on an earlier one anyway. Perhaps it is worthwhile checking it out.
