When you arrive in Taiwan from an international destination there are two main airports, Taipei's airport - Taoyuan Airport - and Kaohsiung International Airport. There is also a domestic airport in Taipei (Songshan Airport) but who knows how long this will exist given the high speed train. Planes are often the most convenient way to get to and from some islands.
It is best to book your air travel with a travel agent in Taiwan.

“I have been teaching in Keelung, Taiwan for over 1 year now, and plan to stay at least another. Footprints Recruiting was an invaluable service for me, assisting in many ways to ensure I had a smooth transition. Without their support, moving to Taiwan would have been much more difficult, and my experience much less enjoyable. I have, of course, become friends with other teachers, both in my school and elsewhere, who did not come via Footprints Recruiting. Many had encountered problems, such as teaching at an unprofessional school, visa problems, housing problems, etc. I am grateful I never had any such difficulties. My experience in Taiwan has been wonderful.”
