Cheap Flights from Taipei to Busan — $118

Taipei is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. Taiwan Taoyuan International (TPE) functions as the primary international gateway and hub for full-service carriers like China Airlines and EVA Air, typically handling most long-haul and premium routes; flights from Taoyuan can be perceived as mid- to higher-priced compared with low-cost options. The airport lies about 40–45 km west of downtown Taipei; passengers can reach the city in roughly 35–55 minutes by Taoyuan MRT (45–160 TWD) or 40–60 minutes by airport limo bus (120–200 TWD), while taxis take about 40–60 minutes and cost more. Pros: modern facilities, extensive international connectivity and good ground links; cons: distance from the city center can add transfer time and cost. Songshan Airport (TSA) plays a complementary role as a smaller urban airport that typically serves short-haul domestic and some regional flights, often favored by business travelers and low-connection-time itineraries. Airlines at Songshan are usually full-service or regional carriers operating routes to domestic destinations and nearby cities like Tokyo or Seoul on select schedules; fares can be competitive for short hops. Songshan sits very close to downtown (about 5–10 minutes by taxi or 10–20 minutes by MRT), with taxi fares generally modest and a short walk from some central neighborhoods. Pros: convenience and quick transfers for city-center access; cons: limited long-haul options and fewer international services compared to Taoyuan.

Busan is served mainly by Gimhae International Airport (PUS), which functions as the city’s primary international and domestic gateway with a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines operating frequent connections across East Asia and within Korea. Located about 20–25 km west of downtown Busan, travel times to the city center can range from 30–50 minutes by metro or airport limousine bus and about 30–60 minutes by taxi depending on traffic; fares typically fall into modest public-transport ranges or higher taxi fares. The airport is well suited to business and leisure travelers seeking convenience and regional links, with efficient public transport but limited long-haul non-stop options compared with larger global hubs.

In different months, ticket prices from Taipei to Busan vary: minimum — $118 (March 2026), maximum — $263 (February 2027). Typically, the flight costs $134–$158.
