Taipei is served primarily by two airports with different roles. Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE) functions as the main international gateway and hub for full-service carriers like EVA Air and China Airlines; it’s usually perceived as mid-to-upper range for fares on long-haul routes. Taoyuan lies about 40–45 km west of downtown Taipei, with the MRT Airport Line taking roughly 35–50 minutes and costing in the low single digits USD equivalent; taxis run around 40–60 minutes with higher fares. The airport offers extensive lounges and shopping but can be busy at peak times, so expect longer lines and more walking between gates. Taipei Songshan Airport (TSA) is smaller and typically serves domestic routes and short international sectors to nearby cities, often favored by business travelers for its proximity—about 4–6 km from the city center. A taxi usually takes 10–20 minutes at modest cost, while the metro and buses provide quick links in similar timeframes. Songshan can be more convenient and quicker for downtown access, though it handles fewer long-haul options and has more limited facilities compared with Taoyuan.

Almaty International Airport (ALA) is Kazakhstan’s primary international gateway and typically functions as the country’s main hub for full-service carriers and regional connections, while low-cost options can also be found on many routes. Located about 15–20 km southeast of the city center, transfer times to downtown usually run 20–40 minutes by car depending on traffic. Ground transport options include taxis and ride-hailing services (commonly used, fares vary), regular shuttle buses and airport express buses with economical fares, and private transfers for more comfort. Pros: relatively modern terminals and frequent international links. Cons: peak-hour congestion and occasional queues; public transit can be slower with luggage.
