Following the statement of Foreign Secretary, , on 23 March, we are strongly
urging UK travellers overseas to return home where and while
there are still commercial routes to do so. Around the world,
more airlines are suspending flights and more airports are
closing, some without any notice.
Please note the flight fares now are exceptionally high, and
could continue to rise.
Below we provide:
- Information about available flights and routes out of Taiwan
- English-language travel agents
The following information is correct as of Friday 22 May, 12:00
(Taiwan time). We will try our best to keep this list up-to-date,
but the situation is changing quickly so some routes may cease to
operate at very short notice.
Summary: available flights and routes in the next two weeks
Our search found flights available from Taipei to London on 26,

Transits
Transits in Seoul:
Transiting South Korea is possible if you go through the same
airport and do not go through immigration. Transit passengers
receive a temperature check on arrival in Korea. Travellers who
do not show symptoms may continue on their journey. All
passengers entering South Korea are subject to a 14-day mandatory
quarantine. This means that passengers who leave the airport and
stay in a hotel for a connecting flight on a different day would
be mandatory quarantined for 14 days. For more information please
check the South Korea travel advice
Transits in Japan:
Transiting Japan is possible if you go through the same airport
and do not go through immigration. However note that from 3
April, Japan has denied entry to Japan for any non-Japanese
nationals who have been in the UK or Taiwan—among other places—in
the past 14 days. This means that transiting through Japan using
different airports (e.g. flying into Tokyo via Narita Airport and
out of Tokyo via Haneda Airport), or staying in a hotel overnight
for a connecting flight on the next day, is no longer possible.
For more information please check the Japan travel advice
No transits are currently permitted:
Bangkok, Singapore, Hong Kong, UAE, Bahrain, the Philippines or
China. For more information on travel restrictions, visit
the IATA website
