I almost never travel, so I don’t have much experience of this. I have read my airline’s regulations for refunds and rebookings, but I need more practical information. I know no one can know for sure, but does anyone have the experience of flying from TPE when there was a tropical storm or typhoon off the west coast? I’m flying on 7/7 in the early afternoon, and it looks like the storm will in range of the airport. How likely is it that flight departures will be cancelled? More practically, if there is a flight delay and we miss our connecting flight in Incheon, what usually happens? I’m traveling with a child to the US and assume it would be hard to get flight the same day. And if the flight in Taipei is cancelled, how long could it take to get another flight to the US? Or do they just give me a refund and let me rebook on my own? Any advice would be appreciated. ---

I can’t answer your question about delayed flights and tickets because that will depend on how you booked your tickets and the kind of tickets. However, I have landed in Taiwan on the tail-end of a typhoon. They generally don’t cancel unless they really have to. Looking at the CWA website, it looks as if it won’t have too much effect on northern Taiwan at the time you’re flying, so you might well be lucky and have no problems. ---

> [@SunWuKong](#): > > How likely is it that flight departures will be cancelled? Unlikely. This is a small one. Just passing by. Not even hitting us. For any problems, contact your airline. If you have high elite status, some airlines proactively book you on different airlines at no charge. If you’re a nobody, you must wait until your airline’s next available flight (possibly different day). ---

> [@SunWuKong](#): > > More practically, if there is a flight delay and we miss our connecting flight in Incheon, what usually happens? If you have purchased the flights as part of a single ticket, the airline will take care you, especially if you purchased this single ticket directly from the airline. If you purchased the different segments separately (i.e. under a “self transfer” arrangement) and you miss that connecting flight, then that’s on you—you would be a no show, and the airline is not responsible for that.

Thankfully I did for once. I normally don’t because I can get tickets cheaper, but it worked out cheaper this time. They really over charge for picking seats now, all airlines. I’m not great at reading these, but it looks like it will be near northwest Taiwan sometime around 7/7 in the afternoon. > **[Land warning expected in Taiwan for Tropical Storm Danas - Focus Taiwan](https://focustaiwan.tw/society/202507050005)** > > A land warning for Tropical Storm Danas could be issued in Taiwan as early as late Saturday, as the storm's outer bands begin bringing heavier rain to southeastern regions, including Hualien, Taitung and the Hengchun Peninsula, according to the... ---

So far most of the cancellations have involved flights in and out of Kaohsiung, as well as outlying islands.

I will add, in my experience typhoon dodging with flights over the years, I kind of wish the governemnt would be a bit more cancel friendly in terms of forcing cancelations. I have been on some real sketchy flights in the past that truly should not have been allowed to fly. ---

The airline is warning of delays and cancelations until 5pm Monday Taiwan time. I don’t think I’m going to make it. ---

I passed through HKG today. The Cathay Pacific ground staff I chatted with told me that all flights today from Hong Kong to Taipei and even Kaohsiung operated on schedule. Guy
