Hi all,

I’m looking for some input on a connection I’m planning at NRT before going to TPE. I’ll be flying SQ11, arriving at 5:40 PM. I would rather depart to Taiwan the same day rather than stay in Narita overnight then fly out the day after, so I was thinking of booking BR195, which leaves at 8:20 PM. I booked SQ11 through Singapore Airline's website, and BR195 through United, both are award travel and booked on separate tickets. I would highly prefer to check in luggage but if needed I don’t have to.

If I was to check in luggage, from what I've researched online it sounds like I'd still have to pass through immigration, pick up my checked luggage, then re-check in regardless because of Japanese immigration and customs. From the reply above it sounds like this is still the case? If I will have to claim checked luggage, will 2h40m enough time to clear immigration, collect my luggage, and check in again with Eva? I believe both Singapore airlines and Eva are both in T1 so I won’t have to switch terminals.

I’ve also heard of people interlining their separate tickets, if I was to interline my tickets would my luggage automatically go to the Eva plane or would I still have to re-check my checked luggage and go through immigration/customs?

Thanks all!
