Prices are indicative, shown in AUD and refreshed from provider APIs where available. Always confirm the final price on the provider's site - it is the price that applies. We may earn a commission if you buy through our links, which never changes what you pay. A row labelled "Featured partner" holds a paid position at the top of the table. Partners are listed before providers who pay us nothing, as our terms set out; sorting by price ignores all of that and orders on the number alone. How we make money.

January is the busiest month for Australian trips to Taiwan and August the quietest, across 89,850 trips a year. The peak is when fares and accommodation cost most and when the cheaper insurance and eSIM options sell out first, so a trip that can move a few weeks either side of it is a trip that costs less.

If you are not flying out of Brisbane
The international leg is rarely the problem. The domestic flight that gets you to it is: Canberra to Sydney is cancelled 5.3% of the time against a national average of 1.9%. Book both legs on one ticket and a missed connection is the airline's to fix. On separate tickets it is yours, and the international fare is the expensive half.

Taiwan flights FAQs
Can you fly direct to Taiwan from Australia?
Yes. Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne all fly there direct. The busiest route is Brisbane to Taipei, carrying 204,909 passengers a year. Figures are from the Bureau of Infrastructure and Transport Research Economics.
When is the cheapest time to fly to Taiwan from Australia?
Fares track demand, and Australian demand for Taiwan peaks in January and bottoms out in August, across 89,850 trips a year. The months either side of the peak are usually the cheapest, because they are cheap for the airline to fill. The figures are Australian Bureau of Statistics counts of trips taken, not a fare forecast.
Should I book my domestic connection to Brisbane on the same ticket as my Taiwan flight?
Yes, wherever you can. Gladstone to Brisbane is cancelled 3.3% of the time against a national average of 1.9%, and on one ticket a missed connection is the airline's to fix - they rebook you onto the next flight to Taiwan. On separate tickets the international fare is your loss. If the legs have to be separate, fly into Brisbane the night before.
