Yes within MCT.

Also very doable! I once had a mistake booking tickets and it took <10 mins to clear security and get back up.

Thanks Kaka. my key purpose is actually a roundtrip from CGK to HKG la, cannot skip the leg lol

Thanks HaikalS! I suppose i don't need a TW visa but in case i'd just apply one online (it's free anyways haha)

CGK may not able to double tag your bag as CGK HKG TPE HKG and may only able to tag it to TPE ONLY. You may consider:

1. Enter taipei and recheck your back to HKG
2. Short tag it to HKG, collect bag and store it at left luggage, then fly hkg tpe hkg without any bag

I tried to do PVG HKG TPE HKG couple years ago without success that they insisted I collect bag in tpe and recheck. Just my 2 cents .

Thanks [MENTION=159364]ChrisLi[/MENTION] for your advice. I'm considering keeping my luggage at a minimum so i don't need to check any baggage. If can't I'll try to ask if they can tag it to HKG, otherwise i'll short check to HKG as i think 1 hour in TPE is not enough for immigration, collecting and re-checking the bag. Many thanks!

Anyways i'd love to ask and hear what they'd think at CGK for checking CGK-HKG-TPE-HKG haha~

Live fron CGK!

they're able to issue all 3 broading passes for me, but stuck here because of visa problem.
Per their checking transitting in TPE from HKG back to HKG does not qualify as no-need-visa transfer. Luckily I've applied for the visa online but unfortunately I forgot to print out lol The check-in agents are helpful and assist to print out the visa~

I've enquired about if i have baggage, they advised that it will be check through from CGK to HKG to TPE to HKG. I don't have a luggage this time to test this though. Haha
