Airlines flying Delhi to Taipei (all 1-stop)
There is no scheduled passenger non-stop on this route in 2026 — China Airlines flies Delhi as cargo only, and EVA Air does not serve Delhi. The best 1-stop options are Cathay Pacific via Hong Kong (very frequent, often the quickest), Thai Airways and other Bangkok-based carriers (with EVA Air and Thai-Taiwan connections feeding TPE), and Singapore Airlines via Changi. EVA Air and China Airlines themselves can be ticketed via their hubs (Bangkok and other Southeast Asian gateways). Choose the connection by total time and layover quality rather than expecting a direct flight.
Flight time, distance and routing
The great-circle distance from Delhi to Taipei is roughly 4,700 km, but because every itinerary is 1-stop, total elapsed time runs about 10 to 14 hours depending on the hub and layover. The fastest combinations usually route via Hong Kong (short hop onward to Taipei) or Bangkok. Taipei runs on UTC+8, 2h 30m ahead of India, so an overnight or early connection typically lands you in Taipei the same evening or next morning.
Best time to book and seasonal fare patterns
Demand and fares peak around Lunar New Year (late January to mid-February, when much of East Asia travels), the summer holidays (July–August) and Taiwan's pleasant autumn (October–November) shoulder. The cheapest windows are often the cooler winter months outside Lunar New Year and the humid early summer. Typhoon season (roughly July–September) can disrupt connections, so build in buffer time. For peak dates, book several months ahead. Check live fares in the FlightGPT search, as 1-stop pricing varies widely by hub.
How to get the fare cheaper (honest tips)
Because everything is 1-stop, the cheapest itinerary depends entirely on the hub — Bangkok routings are frequently the lowest, while Hong Kong on Cathay can be quicker for a small premium. Single-ticket itineraries protect you on missed connections and through-check your bags, so favour them over self-connecting separate tickets. Mid-week departures and avoiding Lunar New Year save the most. There is no fixed cheapest purchase day; set a fare alert and compare hubs side by side in one search.
Airports and terminals — DEL and TPE
Delhi (DEL) — all international departures use Terminal 3 (T3). Taipei (TPE) — Taoyuan International has two passenger terminals; EVA Air uses Terminal 2 and China Airlines uses Terminal 1, with other carriers split across both, so confirm yours. Taoyuan sits about 40 km west of central Taipei; the Taoyuan Airport MRT links it to Taipei Main Station in roughly 35–50 minutes, and airport buses and taxis are plentiful. Allow a comfortable layover at your transit hub for an international-to-international connection.
Baggage allowance
Full-service carriers on these 1-stop routings — Cathay Pacific, Singapore Airlines, Thai Airways, EVA Air and China Airlines — generally allow two checked pieces up to 23 kg each plus 7 kg cabin in economy, though exact limits vary by airline and fare. If your journey begins on an Indian carrier feeding the connection, review its policy too, for example Air India baggage rules or IndiGo baggage rules. On a single ticket your bags through-check to Taipei; on separate tickets you must collect and re-check at the transit airport.
Visa for Indian passport holders
Taiwan does not offer visa-free entry to Indian passport holders. Indians generally need a visa for Taiwan, applied for through Taiwan's representative office or its online system. Travellers who already hold a valid visa or residence permit for the US, Canada, Japan, the UK, Schengen, Australia or New Zealand may be eligible for Taiwan's online Travel Authorization Certificate scheme — but eligibility conditions apply and change, so verify current requirements officially before booking. Confirm the latest rules with Taiwan's official immigration sources. Plan with FlightGPT.
Connecting hubs for Delhi–Taipei
Hong Kong (HKG) on Cathay Pacific is usually the fastest and most frequent connection, with a short final hop to Taipei. Bangkok (BKK) is the most flexible and often the cheapest, with multiple carriers feeding TPE including EVA Air and Thai-Taiwan services. Singapore (SIN) on Singapore Airlines is comfortable but typically longer in total time. Compare layover length and overall journey time — a slightly pricier Hong Kong connection can save hours versus a cheap Bangkok routing with a long wait.
Travel tips for Delhi–Taipei
Sort your Taiwan visa or Travel Authorization Certificate eligibility before booking flights — it is the single biggest planning step. Buy a Taoyuan Airport MRT or EasyCard for cheap, cashless transport into the city. Taiwan is exceptionally safe and convenience stores are everywhere for SIM cards, snacks and bill payments. Build a generous layover at your transit hub during typhoon season. Vegetarian and Indian-friendly food is available in Taipei, though carrying a few snacks for the journey helps.
Why visit Taipei
Taipei pairs world-class night markets and street food with the Taipei 101 skyscraper, the National Palace Museum's imperial treasures, and easy day trips to Jiufen's lantern-lit lanes, Yangmingshan's hot springs and Taroko Gorge. It is one of Asia's safest, friendliest and most efficient cities, with excellent metro coverage. Despite the 1-stop journey from Delhi, Taiwan rewards the effort with a rare blend of nature, food and modern culture.
