Lowest fares from Vancouver to Taipei
What to know before you book Vancouver to Taipei
Two Taiwanese airlines fly nonstop from Vancouver to Taipei: EVA Air and China Airlines, in roughly 12 to 13 hours. Taipei is also a handy connection point for the rest of Asia, since both airlines fly on to Bangkok, Bali, Manila and Ho Chi Minh City, and a Taipei connection is sometimes cheaper than flying those routes another way.
EVA Air or China Airlines?
Both are full-service airlines with a checked bag, meals and seat-back entertainment on long-haul economy fares, so the choice usually comes down to price and timing. EVA Air also sells a Premium Economy cabin on this route, which can be worth it on a 12-hour overnight flight if the price gap is small.
Overnight flights and the date line
Flights usually leave Vancouver after midnight and land in Taipei early the next morning, local time, after about 12 to 13 hours in the air. You cross the International Date Line, so coming home you can land in Vancouver earlier on the clock than you left Taipei.
Use Taipei as a free stopover
If you're going on to Southeast Asia, a stop of a few days in Taipei often adds little or nothing to the fare on EVA Air or China Airlines. It breaks up the trip and gives you Taipei's night markets for free.
From Taoyuan airport
Taoyuan International (TPE) is about 40 km from central Taipei. The Taoyuan Airport MRT express reaches Taipei Main Station in about 35 to 40 minutes, and an EasyCard covers the MRT, buses and convenience-store purchases.
