Taipei is served primarily by Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE), the city’s main international gateway and a regional hub for full-service carriers like China Airlines and EVA Air; it typically handles most long-haul and business routes and can be perceived as mid-to-premium in price compared with nearby budget options. Taoyuan lies about 40–45 km west of downtown Taipei; travelers usually take the Taoyuan Airport MRT (35–50 minutes, fares roughly NT$160–180), intercity buses (45–70 minutes, NT$120–200) or taxis (45–60 minutes, higher cost). Pros: modern facilities and broad international connectivity; cons: longer transfer times to the city center.
For low-cost and domestic travel, Taipei Songshan Airport (TSA) sits much closer to the city center and often serves short-haul, regional and some domestic routes operated by both full-service and budget carriers; ticket prices can be relatively economical for short hops. Songshan is about 4–5 km from central Taipei, with metro access via Taipei Metro’s Wenhu line (10–15 minutes, fares around NT$20–30), buses (15–30 minutes) and quick taxi rides. Pros: convenient for business travelers and short transfers; cons: limited long-haul options and fewer international routes compared with Taoyuan.
