Mode of Transfer:
Skytrain
To take the Skytrain, please proceed to the Departure Hall. It provides free transportation service between the terminals. Trains operate from 6:00am - 12:00pm, departing in 2 to 4 minutes intervals during peak hours or 4 to 8 minutes off-peak. After hours, SkyTrain is available on-call by pressing the "Night Time Train" button at the platform.

  2. Hi I have a question. I am a US citizen, flying from Los Angeles with my connecting flight landing in TPE to travel to Bangkok. I was wondering if I have to go through immigration or if I will just have to follow the transfer route. I am traveling on the 10th of November and just want to be as prepared as possibly as my layover is only 1 hr and 30 minutes.
    Thank you so much
