cx402/cx479 pair i have done once after work but it is stressful and risky cuz 830pm arrival as other mention transfer is closed so you need escort definitely. if there is bad weather or other Irreops you are stuck. i wouldnt do again. (it is sometimes required because cheapest I ex TPE allows no stopover so you have to do this after work and fly to ur ultimate destination next day without loosIng a daay of work.

CX494/495 looks interesting depart at 1020am butt back 4pm so you waste a full day really. My cx 488/489 at least waste half day only (land back 1230pm). CX464/469 pairr departe even earlier but its not easy to get to HKIA for 7am flight on airport express.


btw TPE transfer NEVER asked to check my onward boarding pass... i wonder what happens if one day they did and i had no boardIng pass.
