Taoyuan International Airport will be able to check in at Taipei Main Station when the rail line launches in early 2017.
Check-in services will initially be offered by local carriers China Airlines Co. and EVA Airways Corp., with certain restrictions applying, according to Taoyuan Metro Corp. Passengers with oversized luggage or baggage requiring quarantine inspection will not be able to check in at the rail terminal.
Once the airport MRT line commences operations next year, Taipei will become the fourth city in the Asia-Pacific region to offer in-town check-in, following Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur and Seoul. [FULL STORY]
