Air Canada is direct, however EVA stops in TPE - on my return will I need to grab my luggage in TPE airport and go through customs?

I’ve never flown Cathay but I heard the planes are generally old.

Thanks for any insight!
If you fly with EVA through Taipei you will not need to clear customs or collect your luggage. You simply have to go through security again which is a breeze.
