Short flight of 5 hours. Just relax and enjoy the flight. If you are foreign to Taiwan, please make sure to do your Arrival e-Card whilst still waiting for your flight. There's a QR you can scan at the airport counter at KLIA-1. If you didn't spot it just ask the check-in staff. makes things much smoother on arrival into Taipei.

Wear comfortable clothing, have your phone fully charged, then sit back and enjoy the flight

Make sure your checked luggage is cleared before heading for the terminal so that any flagged luggage can be address.
Verified travelerFlew with EVA Air-Jan 2026
Transferring to another flight can be confusing at first. Make sure to ask the airline staff. They want to help. It’s not as simple as walk from one gate to the next. Sometimes you have to go through another transfer checkpoint.
Verified travelerFlew with EVA Air-Jan 2026
Fully charge the phone battery just in case need to contact family when landed Taipei City. Finish eating own prepared fresh fruit or dried meats before landed Taipei City.

Order your food ahead of the flight and you will get served first 😁

Arrive early at the Manila airport at the minimum 4 hours.

Don’t get window seats. Also figure out your meals ahead of time because the flight attendants don’t talk good English and it can be hard figuring it out during the flight.

When arriving to Taipei, make sure to following the passing card side for connecting flights. We got in the red lanes and had to get our bags checked again. Go green side far right, it’s not very clear then you go to the next stop for transfer check.
RonaldFlew with China Airlines-Dec 2024
Make sure your luggage isn't too heavy. I had to check my luggage and I never do that. I like my stuff to be with me.
DinahFlew with STARLUX Airlines-Nov 2024
Do make sure you have plenty of local currency with you. Most places still prefer cash.
TerneshaFlew with EVA Air-Jun 2024
EVA from Bali to Taipei was fine. If you are taller that 5'9" fly Premium Economy or select an exit row during booking.
Verified travelerFlew with EVA Air-May 2024
Arrive early for check in process, less stress.
Verified travelerFlew with China Airlines-Mar 2024
Taipei airport has a good service and clean facilities. Outgoing MNL passengers must adhere to baggage rules, lines were held. Airline Customer Service agents @MNL works at slower pace compared to other airports.
HeatherFlew with EVA Air-Jan 2024
Going through Denpasar airport was quite intuitive for me which I appreciated. Landing in Taipei with a connecting flight to the US I was required to go through security again so, take that into account when planning layovers. I had a short layover and my flight into Taipei was late so it was a little worrisome if i would make my connecting flight.
Verified travelerFlew with EVA Air-Feb 2024
Use Eva air Allow two hours for checkin Make sure no power banks or batteries are in your checkin
Verified travelerFlew with EVA Air-Jan 2024
Have all necessary papers ready, go to the airport early.

We flew economy plus and are so happy with the seating arrangement and comfort. The crew was very attentive and polite. The only thing that wasn't 5 star was the food. While significantly better than what we have been served on other airlines, it was still "airline food".

We flew economy plus and are so happy with the seating arrangement and comfort. The crew was very attentive and polite. The only thing that wasn't 5 star was the food. While significantly better than what we have been served on other airlines, it was still "airline food".

Has a major issue with my seat that I paid a premium price for. On the airline website, it showed the seat as the front row. In reality, there was another row in front of me. When I asked the company about it they told me that the front row was reserved for children with bassinets. On both the going and coming back, there were adults in the row in front of me. Coming back, there was a young child in the row to my right with a bassinet who cried constantly, so kept me awake during the long trip back. So I paid for a premium seat that was not premium! Needless to say I will not fly Starlux again.

I liked the space of the bathroom. The seats were not as comfortable for such an expensive cost the the foot rest was broken. A small child cried for several hours and I thought the FA would have assisted the family to calm the child.

STARLUX Airlines has great staff and crew. Well organized for quick boarding of such a large plane out of Phoenix to Taipei. Interior of the aircraft was that of deluxe aircraft.

Was not able to buy wifi on the plane given, not available for economy tickets. Was not clear when buying the ticket that this was the case.

Customer service in Hanoi needs work, outside of that, everything was good.

Premium economy seats that I paid extra are not worthed.there was not much difference from the regular economy seats yet I paid alot more for it Disappointed

It did not feel like a luxury airline. We had booked premium economy and opted for AVML meals. This was one of the worst meal in any of the flights and I’m a frequent flyer. No great snack options were available. Drink selection was limited to wine and beer. On a long flight, you need a variety of food which was unfortunately not available. The seats were just OK and the foot rest are not comfortable.. Airline staff for courteous Audio and video section is extremely limited

Hostesses were very nice I am disappointed that I paid extra 900$for premium economy which wasn't much upgraded from regular economy, I have wasted my money on this trip 😫

love this boutique luxury airline. crew was nice and attentive. Lounge is too small , i think they should have more area for relaxing and lounging not just to sit and eat .. feels like a cafeteria more than a lounge. overall i enjoy it. food on the plane LAX to Teipei should inprove a bit. no flavor and more drinks pls

I wish there was water passes around. Long Flights with no water Except at the beginning

This was the first time traveling with China Airlines. The Crew, were all professional and bilingual. The aircraft was clean and comfortable. I upgraded to even more space; that process was simple and not super expensive. The meals served were adequate and tasty, and the choices were suitable. After experiencing long flights and being a passenger with China Airlines, I must say I will travel with them again Sincearly Anthony

We were not sat together for the longeset duration of our travel very uncomfortable didnt enjoy that they fed us at 2 am

The crew were professional and attentive. Blankets and pillows were on each seat which was appreciated. The food was served warm and had a balance of various nutritional options. As far as the monitor there were not enough English speaking choices and foreign shows did not offer English captions.

Everything was fine except the seats were quite compressed and hard for the 12 hour flight

The crew was very professional and friendly. Although there was a water leak from panel above, the crew was trying to mitigate the consequence. We are happy with its service and the value offered. We will definitely take China Airlines again.

Well, we upgraded and on a 14 hour flight not sure how we would tolerate it otherwise. The upgrades are ridiculously expensive and even with empty seats even in first class it was difficult to upgrade. Probably won’t fly China Air again due to this. The attendants tho were much better than the airlines in the states and there attentiveness and care for your comfort far exceeds other airlines in the states.

Flight attendants. Food, entertainment and most of all, be on time.

We are glad to have used China Airlines for our trip. Continue the good service! Thank you!

The flat bed full lying position is not comfortable at all, this could be improved, it is at an awkward position which i dont have the same issues with other airlines business class.

The staff seemed nice. The plane is small and being tall you can experience discomfort

Food could of been better. Crew was pretty much average. It was raining a lot on arrival, had to take a bus to immigration building,

Manila airport is a dump. Very dirty and not comfortable at all

Everything was great, except for the inflight entertainment, which wouldn't work on my Samsung Zflip. The flight was smooth despite the heavy rains exiting Tokyo. The cabin crew were very attentive and friendly. I had the pork katsudon, which was very tender and flavorful.

Bad experience... Flight schedule should be on time, ours was 2 hours delayed both ways ,Mla-Panglao-Mla. Priority lane for Seniors & PWD should be practice but our Panglao-Manila flight, both priority & regular lanes boarded the at the same time, the only difference is that we were coming on 2 different lanes. It depletes the purpose of priority lanes.

everything was excellent the crew the food, crew was extremely friendly but wish there was a tv..📺

There is a problem with the sound while watching movie or listening to the music ( the sound is static & goes on and off). Aside from the sound, the experience was good & stewardesses are nice.

The flight itself was good, however, the disorganization of boarding and the sheer amount of baggage STUFFED into the over head compartments in what appear to be an outdated plane was not okay. The plane was outdated. I walked into the restroom and a panel underneath the sink was on the floor. I called the attention of the stewardess and she quickly put it back into place. The entertainment system had to be rebooted in order to “work,” but even after rebooting, the sound was off. For the amount of money my wife and I paid, we expected a little bit more. Sad to say, but Phillippines Airlines missed the mark on many things going all the way to sectioning off such a small area for all the passengers to wait for boarding. Everyone was on top of each other. They also made you throw away your water, even after the initial security check. So the water you bought after the first security check wasn’t allowed onto the plane, but they didn’t offer a refill station or another place to buy water. Will definitely need to think again about booking with Philippine Airlines.

I’ve had previous bad experiences with Philippine Airlines so i was pleasantly surprised with the vast improvement in comfort, service and food quality.

Flight was delayed. What’s better is if the flight stay on time.

You are asking me how was my flight well you ruined all my plans for Sunday you changed my flight from 10 am until 5pm and offered no compensation except a phony plastic fake apology

Leaving early was wonderful your seats are for a small person

Terrible. Not to be trusted. I missed a flight from Manila due to 3+ hours in traffic to the airport. Customer service was rude and unhelpful. I booked a new flight. The cost was steep. And on my credit card online account, Cebu Pacific charged me for two tickets, yet I'm traveling alone, one person. They are impossible to reach and pathetic customer service. My credit card company is looking into it. NEVER, NEVER fly Cebu Pacific. They will rip you off. They don't care, they don't have to. Fly another airline in the Philippines.

Your check in lines were terrible everything else was great!

Boarding had us in a tunnel with no AC for 15 minutes. Not planned well. And you have to pay for water, get at airport

Can buy food instead of online order. Maybe limit the meal so no waste.

Terrible, I will never ever ever attempt to fly on Cebu Pacific. I understand that it’s a cheap flight option but they take cheap experience to the next level.

The front desk and early check in was fantastic and the flight did not have any turbulence

better handling of the checked in luggage. they destroyed mine

the process of paying for the excess baggage weight, the check in process and the boarding process are subhuman. this is an airline devoid of customer service

The flight was delayed by an hour . Traveling with 75 year old father was difficult and then when he asked for water he was asked to purchase :-) . Overall just an ok experience.

Boarding with air asia is excellent via organized lines by zone except when there is only 1 gate agent and no scanner, only by tearing tickets??? Crazy

They wouldn't even allow us to bring water from the fountain on board the aircraft.

We had three flight delays before eventually taking off 3 hours late. Inflight service was very limited, but it was a relatively short flight. Luggage was delivered promptly.

Our flight was canceled and then moved and delayed twice and we ended up leaving almost 11 hours after our schedule.

There were only 4 out of 6 that was checked in online but we’re all able to checked in once at the airport.

We had 3.15 min delay and disturbed over future connecting flight

Nice n easy ride but if they extent flight to El nido instead of Puerto Princesa so have not go go through 5 hrs of windy road

The aircraft were very clean and well-maintained. The crew was very professional, and I would not hesitate to fly with this airline again. In fact, it will probably be my go to airline for flying in Southeast Asia.

Not even water served - in the tropics, can at least give each passenger a small bottle! How much will that cost Air Asia? … less than 1% of a ticket price.
