Overview of Tigerair Taiwan’s “Taiwan Day Commemorative Sale”
Tigerair Taiwan, the low-cost carrier (LCC) of the China Airlines Group, is holding a “Taiwan Day Commemorative Sale” to mark the “Taiwan Day” event at Hanshin Koshien Stadium. Tickets are on sale on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. — one day only. The sale covers routes linking four airports — Kansai, Okayama, Yonago and Kochi — with Taipei (Taoyuan) and Kaohsiung, with one-way fares starting from ¥9,400.
The travel period runs from September 30, 2026 to Saturday, March 27, 2027. These six months span the autumn travel season, the year-end and New Year holidays, winter break and the start of spring break. Because the sales window is short, narrowing down your dates and preferred flights in advance will make booking much smoother if your plans are fairly firm.
Sale Highlights
- Sale period: Wednesday, September 30, 2026, 10:00 a.m.–11:59 p.m.
- Travel period: September 30, 2026 – March 27, 2027
- Lowest one-way fare: from ¥9,400 (taxes extra)

Eligible Routes
The sale applies to routes between four airports in western Japan and Taiwan. Besides Taipei, it includes direct flights to Kaohsiung in the south.
Taipei/Taoyuan Routes
- Osaka/Kansai – Taipei/Taoyuan
- Okayama – Taipei/Taoyuan
- Yonago – Taipei/Taoyuan (charter flights)
- Kochi – Taipei/Taoyuan (charter flights)
Kaohsiung Routes
- Osaka/Kansai – Kaohsiung
- Okayama – Kaohsiung
The Yonago and Kochi – Taipei/Taoyuan routes are operated as charter flights. Charters may operate on fewer days and with fewer flights than scheduled services, so check on the booking page that a flight runs on your preferred date. This is a rare chance to fly directly to Taiwan from the San’in and Shikoku regions, so travelers departing from these areas should check early.
Airport Access and Tips for Touring Taiwan
From Taoyuan International Airport, the Taoyuan Airport MRT takes you to Taipei Main Station. Kaohsiung International Airport connects directly to a station on the Kaohsiung MRT Red Line, making it easy to reach the city center. Both Kansai and Okayama have routes to Taipei and Kaohsiung, and fares are priced per one-way journey. You could fly into Taipei and home from Kaohsiung, for example. Taiwan High Speed Rail links Taipei and Kaohsiung, making it easy to plan a trip that runs the length of the island.
Fare Details and Rules for Children and Infants
The ¥9,400 one-way fare is the lowest available; actual prices vary by route, travel date and flight. Taxes are charged separately, so the amount you actually pay is the fare plus taxes and other charges. Always compare total prices.
Families should pay special attention to child fares. This sale has no child fare, so children aged 2 and over must be booked at the adult fare. Calculate the total for your whole group in advance. Infants under 2 who do not occupy a seat, on the other hand, can fly for ¥2,300 one way. If your child turns 2 during the trip, the conditions for the return flight may change, so check the age rules on the official website.
Recommended Seasons Within the Travel Period
- Autumn (October–November): The intense summer heat eases, making it a pleasant time for night markets and strolling around town.
- Year-end and New Year: Demand is high because this overlaps with Japan’s long holidays. Securing a seat at the sale fare can mean big savings, but booking early is key.
- Winter (January–February): Taipei can be chilly at times, while Kaohsiung in the south stays relatively warm and comfortable. During Lunar New Year, watch out for local business closures and crowds.
- March: The travel period runs until March 27, so the sale also works for the first half of spring break or graduation trips.
Things to Check Before Booking
- The sale runs for one day only, on September 30. Seats at sale fares are often limited, and some flights may sell out early.
- Advertised fares are one way and exclude taxes. Check the final amount on the booking page.
- LCCs usually charge separately for checked baggage, seat selection and in-flight meals. Compare total prices including the options you need.
- Sale fares often come with strict change and refund conditions, so review the fare rules before purchasing.
- Flights from Yonago and Kochi are charters, so check operating dates and schedules.
- Check entry requirements for Taiwan in advance, such as the remaining validity of your passport.
