I'm coming from Taiwan on a different airline / different ticket. Does this mean I won't be allowed land side to check my luggage in for my BA flight? Eeeek
That will not be allowed. You should not be able to board in Taiwan.
If you are a HK resident you could board your TW-HK flight (without mentioning the connection), but you will have to go through the rigmarole descirbed below.
If you have your BA boarding pass, you might risk it and go from the arrival level to the departing level.
But I doubt that the other airline would violate the explicit HKG regulations and check your luggage through.
HK has been very upset with airlines not following their strict regulations.
