TPE fast track for BR's J pax?
Hello,
I can't find (neither at FT or elsewhere) an answer to question, if there's fast track to security and/or passport control for J passengers travelling from TPE Airport on international BR's flight? Could you please advise me on this subject?

I'm not saying that I need it 
I just want to know if such service for J passengers exists, so I could estimate, how early (or rather, how late) I can arrive in the airport before the flight.
Since, as it has been explained here, there's no fast track in TPE, it's fine and I will use common track for security and passport control

I was wondering about fasttrack as well...Flying BR for the first time in J TPE-JFK at 7pm. What's a good time to arrive at the airport to clear customs and immigration? is there extra screening for US bound flights?

Arriving 90 minutes before your flight will allow you to go through the formalities and enjoy a snack & drink in at least one lounge. Edge to SQ lounge for Asian food and the J BR lounge for Asian & Western options. If you've been out and about before your flight you can refresh in a shower in either lounge which can help set the relaxed mood for your long haul flight.
Don't skip the midflight burger.

I would get there at 5. Try the lounges (BR and SQ - neither is great) and head to the gate early. US bound flights do require additional inspection at the gate.
