Warsaw to Taipei is a classic one-stop long-haul: there is no non-stop service on the roughly 9,300 km run to Taiwan, so you connect once through a Gulf, Turkish or Asian hub. That is good news for your wallet — carriers like Turkish Airlines, Emirates, Etihad, EVA Air and China Airlines compete for the traffic, and one-stop fares in złoty are often surprisingly reasonable for a Far East trip.

Fares from Warsaw to Taipei (PLN)
Taipei is a year-round city, but fares from Poland swing with Taiwan’s holidays and weather. The Lunar New Year period (February 2026), the Polish summer holidays (July–August) and December are the priciest; spring and late autumn are milder for both weather and prices. The table below shows when the route is busiest. We no longer print per-month fare estimates here, because they were never measured.

| May | low-medium |
| June | medium |

Reference points from our own deal tracking: a strong one-stop return lands around 1,700–1,900 zł, a fair typical price is roughly 2,400 zł, and anything under about 2,400 zł return is worth booking quickly. Lunar New Year and summer-holiday fares push toward 3,500 zł and above.
Airlines on this route
Non-stop: none — Warsaw and Taipei are too far apart for a direct flight, so plan on one change of plane.
One-stop (the only option, usually 15–19 hours total):
- Turkish Airlines via Istanbul — frequent departures from Warsaw and often the lowest headline fare to Taipei.
- Emirates via Dubai and Etihad via Abu Dhabi — comfortable Gulf connections with generous baggage.
- EVA Air — Taiwan’s five-star carrier, connecting from Warsaw through its European and Bangkok gateways to Taipei.
- China Airlines — Taiwan’s flag carrier, connecting via its network for a single change into Taoyuan.
- LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa and KLM — European carriers connecting through Frankfurt, Amsterdam or partner hubs when the fare is right.
With Gulf, Turkish and Taiwanese carriers all competing, fares stay keen. For the best on-board product choose EVA Air or the Gulf pair; for the lowest price, start with Turkish and compare the Asian carriers.
When to book & how to save
- Book 2–4 months ahead for the best balance of price and connection times; Far East fares rarely fall in the final weeks.
- Avoid Lunar New Year (February 2026): demand from the Taiwanese diaspora spikes fares and fills seats — shift your dates a couple of weeks if you can.
- Travel in spring or late autumn: April–May and October–November bring the best weather in Taiwan and softer prices than the summer peak.
- Mind the typhoon season: July–September can bring storms — travel insurance and flexible tickets are worth it if you go then.
- Check the bag allowance: Gulf, Turkish and Taiwanese carriers usually include 23–30 kg to Taipei, but the cheapest fare classes may not — compare the all-in price before you book.
Arriving in Taipei
Almost all international flights land at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE), about 40 km west of central Taipei. The easiest way in is the Taoyuan Airport MRT to Taipei Main Station, which takes roughly 35–40 minutes on the express service and costs about 150 TWD (around 20 zł). A metered taxi to the city runs about 1,000–1,200 TWD (roughly 130–160 zł). A few regional and domestic flights use the older, in-city Songshan Airport (TSA) — check which one your ticket uses.

How long is the flight from Warsaw to Taipei?
There is no non-stop flight, so the journey is one-stop. Total travel time is typically 15 to 19 hours including the connection, with the fastest routings landing in around 15 hours 30 minutes. The exact time depends on which hub — Istanbul, Dubai, Abu Dhabi or an Asian gateway — and how long your layover is.
Are there direct flights from Warsaw to Taipei?
No. No airline operates a non-stop Warsaw → Taipei service. Every routing changes planes once, most commonly with Turkish Airlines (Istanbul), Emirates (Dubai), Etihad (Abu Dhabi), EVA Air or China Airlines through their Asian hubs.
How much does it cost to fly from Warsaw to Taipei?
A typical economy return runs about 2,100–3,600 zł depending on the season. The best one-stop deals dip to around 1,700–1,900 zł in the quiet months, while Lunar New Year, summer and December sit toward the top of the range.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Warsaw to Taipei?
May, November and April are usually the cheapest months to fly. Avoid Lunar New Year (February 2026), the July–August summer holidays and December, which are the busiest and dearest.
Which airlines fly from Warsaw to Taipei?
On a one-stop basis: Turkish Airlines (via Istanbul), Emirates (via Dubai), Etihad (via Abu Dhabi), EVA Air and China Airlines through their Asian hubs, plus European carriers such as LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa and KLM. Turkish often shows the lowest fares.
Which airport do I fly into in Taipei?
You land at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE), Taipei’s main international gateway, about 40 km west of the city. A handful of regional flights use the smaller, central Songshan Airport (TSA) instead — check your ticket, as the two are on opposite sides of the metro area.
How far in advance should I book Warsaw to Taipei flights?
Aim to book 2 to 4 months ahead. One-stop Far East fares tend to rise as departure approaches, especially around Lunar New Year and the summer holidays, and the cheapest connecting seats sell out first, so early booking usually wins.
Is it cheaper to fly on weekdays?
Often, yes — midweek departures (Tuesday to Thursday) are usually a little cheaper than Friday–Sunday, and flying out and back on weekdays save a little zł on a return. Being flexible by a day or two is one of the simplest ways to cut the fare.
