Which is also pretty convenient, considering how if you put your passport number into Umetrip (owned by them too) everything from the past populates on its own.

Funny they cherry pick a connectIng rule to apply on 2 tickets.
I'm not exactly sure if they can. I had the same situation before at CGK, SIN, and KUL. There's not so much reason for us to backtrack compared to people ex-HKG.

Plus CX agents don't have to bother most of the time. But they have to ask for return tickets for TPE/KHH because of Taiwan NIA's own demands.
