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.

“A calm breeze lightly tosses my hair about, as I stroll the waterfront not far from my apartment. The waves crashing the shore have an intoxicating scent that propels all sorts of pleasant daydreaming. Am I in paradise? No I am most certainly not. But I am in a country I was dying to visit, and got more than I anticipated. Footprints Recruiting set me up with an ideal job that fits my teaching desires and has thus provided a backdrop to an amazing experience. I left for Korea in October of 2003, and I am currently teaching in Haeundae Beach Busan. Footprints takes care of you in a way that dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s are just the tip of the iceberg. I recommend this to the adventure seeking minds.”
