I would like to take advatage of interline agreement so there should not be a need for leaving security zone. I feel like it is 99% safe as CX is quite on time and TPE->HKG quite busy with tons of backup options from many airlines. I am just still thinking wherher I should not play even more safe and book even earlier flight in the morning or even day before in the evening but still keeping connection time bellow 24h. Then I would probably need to leave HKG airport and book accomodation nearby.
I feel it is still bit more convenient to take a slight risk and book the same day flight without a need leaving the HKG airport. Is it so that one can get mobile boarding pass via Finnair app and/or online check-in when flying from HKG right? Alternativelly, can CX transfer desk help with getting boaring pass for AY flight?
Just keep in mind that Taiwan can have Typhoons depending on the time of the year. You’ll know a couple if days in advance though.
