Taiwan is open to international tourism
Taiwan lifted all its entry restrictions in October 2022. International tourists, regardless of their vaccination status, now have unfettered access to the island after more than 2.5 years of strict border controls. Visitors are no longer required to quarantine upon entry or take PCR tests.
International transits at Taiwan’s airports are permitted. You should contact your airline for further information.

Arriving in Taiwan
- If you are flying to Taiwan from abroad, you will most likely land at its main international airport — Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport
TPElocated near the city of Taoyuan (~50km southwest of Taipei), and Kaohsiung International AirportKHHserving the country’s second-largest city of Kaohsiung.
- Planning to explore the region? Popular destinations can be easily reached with low-cost regional airlines (LCCs) by the likes of AirAsia, Bamboo Airways, Bangkok Airways, Cebu Pacific, Hong Kong Express, JeJu Air, Juneyao Air, Peach Aviation, Scoot, Spring Airlines, Solomon Airlines, Thai Lion Air, Tigerair Taiwan, and VieJet Air.
These budget carriers offer flights from Taipei Airport at lower prices than full-service airlines, and they often fly to smaller airports that big players do not cover. However, the “no-frills” airlines may not provide free checked baggage allowance, complimentary food, in-flight entertainment systems, and fast customer support; you may not even get to choose your seats (unless you pay extra). With that in mind, they are a great option to save money if you fly only a short distance.

The cheapest time to fly to Taiwan
With its subtropical climate, Taiwan is a year-round travel destination. However, the best time to find the cheapest flights to Taiwan tends to be during the low tourist season – December to March. These are the best months to visit the country if you travel on a budget, as there will be great discounts all over the country, including airfares.
Try to avoid Taiwan’s public holidays and festivals. Prices skyrocket during popular holidays such as the Chinese New Year and Lantern Festival (January – February), Dragon Boat Festival (June), and the Chinese Moon Festival (September – October). If you really have to travel to Taiwan during these peak periods it’s wise to book the flights well in advance.
Flying from Taiwan to China
After the Chinese Civil War, no direct flights were allowed between Taiwan and Mainland China due to mistrust and security concerns. In 2008 the Three Links agreement has been established with direct flights being fully restored between the two countries.
Currently, travelers can enjoy numerous flight options between Taiwan and China. However, as foreign-registered aircraft are prohibited from operating directly between China and Taiwan, only Chinese and Taiwanese airlines offer non-stop flights from Taipei to the biggest cities in China: Air China, China Airlines, China Eastern, Cathay Pacific, EVA Air, and Hong Kong Airlines. Non-stop flights from Taipei to Beijing (3hr 20min) cost around US$300 one-way, to Shanghai (1hr 50min) – US$200, to Guangzhou (2hr) – US$250, and to Chengdu (3h 30min) – US$300.
If you travel to China from Taiwan, try to arrange your Chinese visa in advance – in Hong Kong or in your own country; it’s much more difficult to get one in Taiwan, as there are no Chinese consulates.
Know your time zone
Taiwan has only one official time zone – National Standard Time (also known as Taipei Time or Taiwan Time) defined as a UTC offset of +08:00. As a result, clocks in Taiwan are 6 hours ahead of Europe (Central European Time), and 12 hours ahead of New York. Taiwan shares the same time zone with China and Hong Kong and does not have an associated daylight saving time.
Make sure you know your time zone when checking flights and airport transfer times. The departure time on your plane ticket is always listed based on the time zone of the departure airport. We suggest resetting your watch during the flight – it will help your brain adjust to the new time zone and to deal with jet lag.
Duty-free rules
Taiwan is serious about the duty-free concession. There is a limit for bringing in certain items. As of [current_date format=”F Y”], alcoholic beverages for personal consumption – such as wine or spirits – cannot exceed 1 liter per person, and you can carry only 200 cigarettes, 25 cigars, or 1 pound (454g) of tobacco. You are also allowed to bring goods for personal use up to the total value of NT$ 20,000 (~ USD 625) per person.
Anything above those limits must be declared at the airport.
Flights to Taiwan fromUnited States and Canada
- There are no direct flights from the US or Canada to Taiwan. However, most major hubs in Asia have non-stop flights to Taiwan, as do some larger airports in the Middle East – your journey will have at least one stop. There are several direct flights to Taiwan from North America. From the US, non-stop flights leave from Chicago, Honolulu, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, Ontario, Seattle and San Francisco with China Airlines, Delta Air Lines, EVA Air, and United Airlines serving these routes. Non-stop flights from Canada to Taipei depart from Toronto and Vancouver with Air Canada, China Airlines, and EVA Air. Average return fares are between 900 USD and 1200 USD (1250-1600 CAD / 1450-2000 AUD), depending on the time of year.
- Taiwan is well-served via one-stop flights from North America. Flights to Taiwan with one layover depart from most major North American airports, including Atlanta
ATL, DallasDFW, DenverDEN, ChicagoORD, Los AngelesLAX, Las VegasDFW, MiamiMIA, SeattleSEA, HoustonIAH, New YorkJFK, and San FranciscoSFOin the United States and TorontoYYZ, VancouverYVR, CalgaryLAS, and MontrealYULin Canada. - The best airlines to fly to Taiwan from the US and Canada are: Air Canada, American Airlines, Air China, ANA, Cathay Pacific, Emirates, EVA Air, Korean Air, Singapore Airlines, Turkish Airlines, and United Airlines. They are top full-service carriers, offering exceptional customer service, in-flight comfort, a generous checked baggage allowance, and reliable customer support channels – all included in the ticket price.
- For long-haul flights, the type of aircraft you choose can make a huge difference to your overall comfort on board – especially if you’re flying economy. The best aircraft have comfier seats with more legroom, WiFi, superior entertainment systems, and a better passenger experience in every cabin in general. When booking a flight to Taiwan, look for the airlines that use wide-body planes designed for long-haul flights, such as Airbus A350 (best choice), A380, A320neo, or Boeing 767, 777, and 787 Dreamliner.

Long waiting times when calling the helpline?
Social media is usually a faster way to reach the airline when a problem arises. Use Twitter or Facebook Messenger to contact the airline customer service and get a response and solution within minutes (see detailed guides for Garuda Indonesia, Singapore Airlines, Emirates, and others).
When it comes to Twitter there’s one more trick to get in touch with the airline faster: mention the airline in a tweet about your issue (add “@airline_handle”, for example: “@EVAAirUS” for EVA Air). The social media team will often notice it immediately, ask you for a direct message, and respond privately.
Avoid currency exchange kiosks at airports
Airports are infamous for making an exuberant amount of money from their currency exchanges due to the extremely high margins, and Taiwanese airports are no exception. Airport kiosks usually charge higher fees which are sometimes hidden within the poorer exchange rates they offer – their business is based on charging extra for being a convenient, last-minute option.
It is always a good idea to bring some cash with you to Taiwan. Plan ahead and exchange some money for the New Taiwan dollar (NT$) at home, or use one of the many ATMs located at the airport and in almost every city.
Flights to Taiwan with stopover
Direct flights to Taiwan are, of course, much less hassle than flights that require one or more connections. However, they tend to be more expensive. In a trade-off between convenience and cost, the best option is often to opt for a flight with one layover.
So if you’re looking at a long-haul trip with at least one connection, rather than simply transiting an airport, why not take this opportunity to plan a longer stopover? A stopover is a prolonged layover — more than 24 hours — and it won’t only break up your long journey but will also become a legitimate part of your vacation. If you’re prone to severe jet lag, a one or two-day stopover would help minimize its adverse effects.
When booking flights, many airlines allow you to include a free stopover en route to your final destination in Taiwan. Those flights are usually cheaper than non-stop (direct) flights, and you can often choose your stopover at no additional cost — just by looking for multi-city flights with longer layovers.
Some airlines openly advertise stopovers and offer significant discounts and travel perks for passengers to break up their trips: free luxury hotel stays, complimentary domestic flights, or exclusive rates for activities. Start checking for stopover deals to Taiwan with government-owned airlines (as they are looking to attract tourists to give the country economic benefits) — such as Emirates, Etihad, Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines, and Malaysia Airlines. Almost every airline’s website has multi-city search functionality, often hidden inside the one-way/return/multi-city switch.
A well-chosen stopover will not only turn one vacation into many but also save you several hundred dollars in airfare. The available stopovers to Taiwan will depend on your initial destination (Europe, North America, Asia, etc) and the airline you are flying with. For most airlines, the best free stopover offer will be at their main hub.
Flights to Taiwan from UK, Germany, France, Netherlands and other countries in Europe
- There are no direct flights from Europe to Taiwan — you’ll need to get a connecting flight from elsewhere in the Middle East or in Asia. Direct flights from Europe to Taiwan are about 12-14 hours long, however the options are limited. Only China Airlines, EVA Air and KLM operate non-stop flights from a few biggest European cities (Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London, Paris, Rome, Vienna) to the capital of Taiwan - Taipei. Average return fares are between 1000 and 1400 Euro (950-1350 USD), depending on the time of year.
- Airlines that frequently fly from the UK, Germany, France, and other European countries to Taiwan include Air China, ANA, Cathay Pacific, China Eastern Airlines, Emirates, EVA Air, KLM, Korean Air, Lufthansa, and Singapore Airlines .
- Consider departure airports in neighboring countries to increase your chance of spotting the best deal. Especially look for large airports that serve as hubs for multiple airlines. For example, if you live in Western Europe, check air tickets to Taiwan from Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London, Madrid, Paris, and Rome. Use European low-cost airlines such as RyanAir, EasyJet, and Eurowings to fly to the hub, then save hundreds of euros by taking a cheaper long-haul flight to your final destination.

Check different departure airports
Consider neighboring cities when choosing the departure airport – especially look for larger cities with airports that serve as hubs for multiple airlines.
For example, if you live in West Europe, check prices for flights departing from Paris, London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Rome, or Vienna. In 9 out of 10 cases, the cheapest flight to Taiwan will depart from one of these hubs, and it may be €500 less or more than your first choice. Yes, you may have to fly a few hundred kilometers to this hub, but low-cost airlines like EasyJet, RyanAir, or WizzAir will happily take you there for €50 – €100.
Use a similar tactic if you depart from the US or another region. It’s one of the best ways to save hundreds on trips.
Last-minute flights to Taiwan. The real cost of convenience.
Last-minute flights are often touted as a great way to save money, but the reality is far from it. Booking last-minute flights to Taiwan almost always never works out. The convenience of being able to book a flight on the fly is a dangerous game of chance, and you will most likely end up paying significantly higher than booking in advance.
The common perception may be that airlines decrease ticket prices to fill empty seats as the departure date approaches. However, the truth is that airfares depend on demand. Based on years of research and current customer data, the airlines know what people are willing to pay for specific flights and dates. They are also well aware that people are willing to pay a premium for flights they need to take immediately. To make the most money, the airline will sell its cheapest fares first and then increase the prices right before the flight to take advantage of business travelers and others who are willing to pay the premium price for late booking.
Occasionally, airlines can put some seats on sale to fill the remaining seats, but these are for unusual times and unpopular places. Popular destinations and dates around peak travel times tend to sell out quickly.
Planning ahead is key to securing a good deal on your flight. Last-minute flight deals are hard to come by, so as soon as you have a tentative travel timeline, book your flight. The earlier you book, the more likely you are to save money. If you are looking for a good deal, the best time to book your flight to Taiwan is around 60-90 days before the departure date.
“Hot seats” on long-haul flights
Those days seat selection is considered an optional, extra paid service – seats with extra legroom (front and exit rows) are usually priced higher. However, if you’re about to take a long-haul flight to Taiwan, those “hot seats” are worth considering – expect to pay $50-$100, which is much less than upgrading to Premium Economy.
If you want to choose your seats, do this early (ideally during the booking) for a more extensive selection of available options.
Lost baggage prevention
Avoid lost luggage nightmares by removing old tags on your suitcases. Tags are printed with a barcode for identification and tracking, so the old tags can confuse baggage handlers and the conveyor belt scanners. They are one of the reasons so many bags miss their flight or get misrouted.
Airlines of Taiwan
Taiwan has two full-service carriers: China Airlines and EVA Air. Together, they handle most of the international air traffic to and from Taiwan. While China Airlines has a strong Australia and New Zealand presence, EVA Air offers far better options to North America, with numerous routes to the US and Canada, including direct flights. Interestingly, EVA Air was the first carrier in the world to introduce the premium economy class in 1992. Both airlines are members of airline alliances to enable codesharing, networking, and sharing of operational facilities with other member airlines: EVA Air is part of the Star Alliance, and China Airlines is a member of SkyTeam.
Most short-haul and medium-haul routes from/to Taiwan are operated by its smaller airlines such as Tigerair Taiwan, Uni Air, Mandarin Airlines, Starlux Airlines, and Daily Air. These budget carriers (AKA no-frills airlines) offer flights at much lower prices in comparison to full-service airlines China Airlines or EVA Air. However, because they manage affordable tickets by cutting down on their operation costs, they may not provide free baggage allowance, inflight refreshments and meals, or Wi-Fi and onboard entertainment. In most cases, their tickets are fixed and non-refundable in case of no show-up or cancellation.
Flights to Taiwan from Australia and New Zealand
- Australia and New Zealand are well-connected with popular Asian destinations, including Taiwan. In addition to domestic airlines – Qantas, Jetstar Airways, Virgin Australia, and Air New Zealand – routes from Australia/New Zealand to Asia are operated by large regional carriers such as ANA, Emirates, Etihad, Fiji Airways, Japan Airlines, Qatar Airways, and Singapore Airlines.
Direct flights and flights with one layover to Taiwan are available from all major airports in Australia – SydneySYD, BrisbaneBNE, MelbourneMEL, PerthPER, AdelaideADL, CairnsCNS, Gold CoastOOL, CanberraCBR, and in New Zealand – AucklandAKL, WellingtonWLG, ChristchurchCHC, QueenstownZQN, DunedinDUD. - In terms of cost-savings, we recommend flying from Australia and New Zealand to a major Asian hub and then booking a flight to your final destination in Taiwan with a regional budget airline. Among the low-cost airlines that fly into Taiwan are AirAsia, Bamboo Airways, Bangkok Airways, Cebu Pacific, Hong Kong Express, JeJu Air, Juneyao Air, Peach Aviation, Scoot, Spring Airlines, Solomon Airlines, Thai Lion Air, Tigerair Taiwan, and VieJet Air.
Currently, there are no direct flights from Australia or New Zealand to Taiwan. You’ll need a layover in one of the major hubs in Asia.

“Book Flights Now, Pay Later” — is it worth it?
Booking a flight and paying for it later has recently become a popular trend in the travel industry, with many airlines offering delayed payment plans. They will allow you to make flight reservation to Taiwan now and then pay the bill in installments. But should you take advantage?
Book Now Pay Later (BNPL) plans are essentially short-term personal loans. By partnering with financial companies such as Affirm, Afterpay, PayPal Credit, Postpay, and Uplift, airlines can offer their loan services on the checkout page. When you book the flight with the BNPL option, the company pays the airline, and you repay the loan in installments over a set period (usually up to 24 months), with a set interest rate.
BNPL providers have varying terms and fees. Some may offer interest-free loans but have fees for late payments and require forced autoplay on your bank account, while others may have high annual percentage rates (up to 30-40% APR). There may also be transaction fees, down payment requirements, and many companies even run a credit check on the traveler.
Among the airlines that offer a “fly now, pay later” option are American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Emirates, Qatar Airways, Qantas, Turkish Airlines, United Airlines, Alaska Airlines, British Airways, KLM, Lufthansa, Southwest, and Virgin Atlantic.
Is BNPL financing worth it? If paid off on time, interest-free delayed payment on your flight ticket to Taiwan can be a great way to free up your cash flow. However, there may be safer alternatives available – such as taking advantage of an introductory 0% interest offer on a credit card or using flight price “freezing” services like Hopper.
Get cheaper business class by bidding on airline upgrades
A growing number of airlines are auctioning upgrades to their business class seats. Once you book your economy ticket to Taiwan, you can offer to pay a bit more in an attempt to get a premium seat. 2-3 days before your flight, an airline will send you an email with a link to their website where you can place a “blind” bid. There’s usually a minimum bid amount. If you win the auction, you’ll be informed, and your seat will be upgraded.
How to choose the right bid amount? Just check the airline website for the regular cost of a business class seat to Taiwan, then subtract what you paid for the economy fare. Place your bid for around 10% to 30% of that price. The alternative strategy is to bid slightly above the competition. If, for example, the minimum bid is $500, try to bid $550-$600, as most people will offer the baseline amount required.
The more available business class seats the airline has on your flight, the lower bid can be successfully used. Check the airline’s daily schedule for flights to Taiwan – if there is more than one flight on your chosen route (more available seats), you can safely bid close to the minimum required amount.
Among the airlines that allow bidding for seat upgrades are: Air Canada (AC Bid), Air New Zealand (OneUp™), Cathay Pacific, Etihad Airways, Fiji Airways (Bula Bid), Garuda Indonesia (BidUpgrade), Qantas, Singapore Airlines, SriLankan Airlines, and Virgin Australia (UpgradeMe).
Fly early in the morning
Early morning flights (6 am or earlier) are usually cheaper than other day schedules. It’s because of lower demand – most people are not willing to go to the airport so early. Use it to your advantage.
Moreover, airports are also less crowded, and there tend to be fewer delays if you fly early in the morning. Due to increasing air traffic, delays get worse throughout the day – starting around 8-10 am and reaching a peak at 4-6 pm. If you are flying to Taiwan with a connecting flight, arriving on time at your layover airport may be critical to catching your next flight!
Flights to Taiwan from Bali, Bangkok, Delhi, Dubai, Hong Kong, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Singapore, Seoul, Tokyo, and other major hubs in Asia
- Asia is probably the best continent for short-haul and mid-haul flying. The sheer scale of this most populous region on Earth is reflected in the type of aircraft operating many shorter routes: intra-Asia flyers benefit from comfortable, wide-bodied aircraft by the likes of Boeing 777, 787 or Airbus A350, A330, and A380. When booking your flight to Taiwan look for these bigger planes as they will almost always give you the best experience in every cabin, including better seat pitches, higher ceilings, and larger overhead bin space.
- Asia is also home to most of the world’s best airlines. There are only ten airlines that received the prestigious 5-star mark of quality from Skytrax, and all of them are from Asia: ANA, Asiana Airlines, Cathay Pacific, EVA Air, Garuda Indonesia, Japan Airlines, Korean Air, Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines. Choosing one of these airlines for your trip to Taiwan will guarantee a pleasant journey – delicious meals served during the flight, great in-flight entertainment, and above-average airline customer service.
- Asia is extremely well served by low-cost regional airlines. If you are visiting Taiwan and want to see several other countries on a tight budget, they often have great sales with rock-bottom prices, while still offering a relatively comfortable flight experience. Among the best Asian budget airlines you can book without hesitation are AirAsia, Cebu Pacific, Citilink, FlyDubai, Indigo, Jetstar Airways, Scoot, SpiceJet, and VietJet Air. The cons? Being no-frills airlines they may not provide free baggage allowance, inflight meals, or onboard entertainment. The departure times may also be quite inconvenient as they try to save money by flying at off-peak hours.

Take advantage of loyalty programs
Choose an airline that suits you the best, then stick to it. By becoming a ‘regular’, you will be able to use its loyalty program and earn “miles” (or points) – not only for flying but also for everyday expenses (if your card is affiliated with an airline).
Points earned this way often add up over time and are extremely helpful in flying at reduced fares. Airlines offer not only ticket discounts for their frequent flyers, but also special travel perks such as cabin class upgrades, increased checked baggage allowance, or access to their airport lounges so you can relax during long layovers.
If you often fly with Emirates, opt for Skywards, with Qantas – for Qantas Frequent Flyer, with Singapore Airlines – for KrisFlyer, etc.
Proof of onward travel – a simple hack
Travelers who go on long trips often don’t have a set itinerary and fly on one-way tickets. The problem? For many APAC countries, proof of onward travel is a legal requirement. If you arrive at the airport without an onward ticket (from Taiwan to another country), you’ll either be forced to buy one online or forbidden from boarding the plane altogether.
The cheapest solution? Renting an onward ticket! Use the websites such as OneWayFly or OnwardTicket to get a flight reservation for a limited amount of time (usually 2 to 14 days). They work by actually booking you on a real flight out of Taiwan and giving you a confirmable flight reservation with a PNR (Passenger Name Record) under your name. After the time limit, your spot on the flight is automatically canceled. Such “temporary tickets” tend to cost anywhere from $10 to $20.
How to book a superdeal to Taiwan?
Every superdeal you receive from Air Traveler Club includes a link you can use to book a flight. It always directs you to the website that offers the lowest price. Sometimes it’s an airline website; in other cases, Google Flights or a similar flight booking platform.
This video explains how to use Google Flights to book a plane ticket.
Dealing with the jet lag
Jet lag affects people differently depending on age, physical fitness, and genetics. The most accepted rule suggests that you should allow one full day to recover from jet lag for every time zone (hour gained) you traveled east and a number of days equal to half the time zones crossed when you traveled west.
The most effective natural jet lag remedy is to force your body into its new routine. You can begin before getting off the plane: set your watch to the time in Taiwan, then do your best to sleep and eat based on the new time zone. Close the window shade when it’s time to simulate darkness. During your first day on the ground in Taiwan, get outdoors, stay physically active during the day, and absorb sunlight.
