Taiwan
Arriving
One line runs from the airport into Taipei — the choice is which train on it.
How do I get from the airport into Taipei?
The Airport MRT. One line, two kinds of train — take the Express, not the Commuter, and it runs straight to Taipei Main Station.
Does it matter which Taipei airport I land at?
Yes, pleasantly. Taoyuan is the main international gateway outside the city; Songshan sits inside Taipei itself and handles domestic plus a handful of regional routes.
Can I check in my bags downtown before heading to the airport?
Yes — at A1 Taipei Main Station, for same-day Taoyuan departures on six airlines. Drop the bags, ride the MRT empty-handed.
