Hi Blisterbanter-Sounds like a great trip. Nope this won’t work. If you don’t take your original ticketed route-the airline will cancel the rest of the ticket. If you bought a flexible ticket that allows a stop in Taipei, just check with whomever you bought the ticket from and do a date change. If your not able to change your ticket don’t get off in Taipei. Travel Safe :)

Hey blisterbanter,
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this situation probably won’t work. If you “no show” your connection in Taipei, the airline will automatically cancel the rest of your flights.

Did you book a student ticket with a travel advisor? Many of our student tickets offer free stops en-route, although you typically cannot add a stop once your ticket has been purchased.

If you did book it with STA Travel, call your travel advisor or if you booked it online call the 1-800 number and see if you can add a stop; but don’t get your hopes up too high.

If you can’t, we will get you an inexpensive roundtrip in and out of BKK or where ever to Taipei.

GOODLUCK!

I tried to do what you want to do and its just not possible. Well its possible but I’m sure you don’t want to purchase a whole new ticket. Have fun! Ill be cack in bankok in March i cant stay away. Hit me up if you want to know of some cool places to stay?
