The following airlines operate regular services between Madurai and Taipei. Each airline offers different fare classes, baggage allowances, and onboard services.

Full-service international carriers typically include meals, checked baggage (20-30 kg), and in-flight entertainment. Compare the total cost including baggage on FareEagle — sometimes a full-service fare with included baggage is cheaper than a low-cost fare plus add-ons.

Best time to fly

October to December offers pleasant weather in Taipei, with lower humidity and comfortable temperatures. Avoid the monsoon season from May to September, which brings heavy rainfall and potential typhoons. The Lunar New Year (usually in late January or February) is a vibrant time to visit, but expect larger crowds and higher prices.

Getting from the airport to Taipei

Taoyuan International Airport (TPE) is well-connected to Taipei city. The Taoyuan Airport MRT is the fastest option, costing around NT$160 and taking about 35 minutes to Taipei Main Station. Taxis are readily available, but expect to pay around NT$1,000 to NT$1,200 to the city centre.
