Booking Strategy
Brussels to Taipei requires at least one stop, typically in major Asian or Middle Eastern hubs. The sweet spot for booking is 8-12 weeks before departure, with March and November offering the lowest fares around €350-380. Summer months (June-August) and Chinese New Year periods see prices surge to €500-600 due to demand from Taiwanese diaspora traveling home. Tuesday through Thursday departures are consistently 10-15% cheaper than weekend flights. Use Google Flights to compare all airlines simultaneously, and consider booking separate legs (e.g., Brussels-Amsterdam, Amsterdam-Taipei) if KLM prices are high – sometimes combining carriers yields savings. Avoid peak dates like late December and early January when prices peak above €600. Taiwan visa-free entry for Belgian passport holders makes last-minute bookings viable if you have 90 days of passport validity.
Route Tips
- Use the Taoyuan Airport Metro (MRT) from TPE to Taipei Main Station – it’s faster and cheaper than taxis, taking 35 minutes for around €8.
- If holding a Belgian passport, you get 90 days visa-free entry to Taiwan – no advance visa application needed, just ensure 6 months passport validity.
- Consider a stopover in Istanbul with Turkish Airlines – you can explore the city for a few days at no extra cost on their stopover program.
- Book luggage-heavy flights from the start – most carriers include 23kg, but budget options via connecting European carriers may charge extra.
- Taiwan reception is excellent for international roaming, but consider buying a local SIM card at TPE (around €15 for 30 days unlimited data) for better coverage.
