Qantas Interline Baggage with Eva Air or China Air

[gapmatt]

About to book a flight flying from Melbourne to Taipei, but via Hong Kong with Qantas (for the DSC of course!). My 2nd leg from Hong Kong to Taipei can be either with EVA Air or China Air.
None are Oneworld Members - can someone confirm if I still can take on extra baggage based on being a Qantas Gold member. I am assuming my baggage will be checked right through to Taipei if its under one booking from the Qantas website.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I'd assume theres more of an agreement with China Air than EVA given one is a partner and one is not.

Alternatively you could look at CX and that would definitely be under OW policy?

Ok I just had a quick look. You don't get extra baggage for China Airlines for QF Gold. Given that , I definitely would not expect it for Eva Air (who aren't even a partner).

If you need the luggage perhaps look at Cathay.

Yeah i reckon i will book the China Air one. Last time I flew with Qantas then connecting with China Air - the Qantas staff didn't question my additional allowance, but on the way back from Taipei, I had to pay an excess fee. Luckily this time I'm flying back home with Singapore Air so will take the risk.

No Cathay option from Hong Kong to Taipei?

Transit times a little too long in HKG at 5.5hrs and arrives into Taipei past midnight.

Given how often the QF MEL-HKG flight runs 1-2 hours late I would be taking the CX flight and picking up the SC's
