Thanks. Have decided to take the latter flight just in case. Any idea on the transfer procedures given that it is in 2 different terminals with 2 tickets? Do I need to clear immigration to re-checkin the luggage or I can tag it all the way to NRT from HKG. Thanks!

You should be able to tag your bag through by showing CX you JL ticket. T1 & T2 are connected airside. You can either take a shuttle tram or walk between the two terminals.

Are you actually taking JL30??
JL30 departs from TSA and arrive at HND. NOT TPE AND NRT!

Sorry, just check oneworld timetable, you should be taking JL804, not JL30

Thanks for highlighting. It should be JL 0804. Can I check where to collect BP in T2?

CX parks at B gate/T1, and JL uses D gate/T2. You should obtain your boarding pass at transfer desk thru CI's agent at D Gate area (arrival level in between Gate D4-D6 I believe), and go thru security check back to departure level.

You can walk from B to C gate and across the main terminal 2 to D gate. Or, take skytrain from B to C and walk across the main terminal to D gate. Follow the sign "To Gate D1-D10, D5R" will gradually get you to D area.

I will have check-in luggage and travelling in J class. If not, I will have to have a longer wait to take the afternoon flight. Also, can I interline the baggage all the way to NRT upon check-in on CX leg and where will be the transfer desk to obtain the JL BP in T2 since I am landing in T1?

Any views? Thanks a lot for sharing!

Thanks! Looks like it is going to be a long wait for me at the TPE airport :(

have done this many times on seperate tickets in under an hour. best effort was a booked 45 min connection that i managed in 20 after changing to an earlier flight (arriving KA -> CX). the transfer desk seems quite used to seeing arrivals from HKG turning around to do TPE-HKG-MNL-HKG!

Thanks. But then again that will only apply if you do not have luggage right? For me, I will definitely need to check-in luggage and I doubt that they will compromise to put up on the earlier flight assuming that I managed to arrive on time, 60 min before the departure time.

IIRC TPE has 36 gates (A-D; 1-11) max at this point (or does T2 only goes up to 10)

each of the letter pair is connected to each other; so A1-A11; D10-D1 are connected (by walking and by monorail) and so is B and C.

and each side AB/CD is connected in the middle of each terminal so A6-B6and C6-D6 is to walk across where the facilities are.

so T1-T2 is perfectly walkable; but from end to end expect a walk similar distance to walking from immigrations in HK to gate 60s.

Need some help...

Travelling on two tickets in J:
KIX-TPE (JL 813, 9.25-11.40 am) Terminal 2.
TPE-HKG (CX511, 1.00-3.15 pm) Terminal 1.

This means we need to go from T2 to T1. I checked flightstats and JL813 is usually on time and often early.

Q1 - Is 80 min quite ok?
Q2 - I can check through luggage from KIX all the way to HK, right?
Q3 - There is no need for Taiwan visa, right?

Thank you.

I just did a JL NRT-TPE (Terminal 2) to CX TPE-HKG (Terminal 1) connection two weeks ago. I could check my luggage all the way from NRT to HKG.

I had a connection time of 2 hours, but the 80 minutes you have should be more than enough.

No need to go through immigration (and thus, no need for a Taiwan visa). Upon disembarking off the plane, just follow the signs for Transfer, and then get on the skytrain from Terminal 2 to Terminal 1.

I was able to get a CX boarding pass when I checked in for my flights in NRT. Therefore, if the same can be done in KIX, then the Transfer Desk at TPE can be bypassed altogether.
