1. Get passports as early as possible. Visas are not required.

2. Book flights early.

3. Take note of additional fees such as travel tax and airport terminal fees.

   2. Have your luggage, hand-carry bags and purses scanned at the X-ray machines.

   3. Have yourself checked by the security personnel.

   4. Proceed to the designated check-in counter (look for “Taipei” or “TPE” and your flight number).

   5. Present your ticket and passport at the counter, and indicate which of your baggage will be checked in. Make sure your luggage has met the weight requirements; otherwise, you will need to pay an amount depending on how overweight your luggage is. More often than not, each person is only allowed one luggage.

   6. Receive your boarding pass from the person behind the counter.

   7. Proceed to pay the airport tax.

   8. After that, you will need to have your hand-carry bags and purses scanned, as well as our shoes.

   13. Once it’s time to board, line up and get on the plane!

Note: Yes, this is a whole lot of information (and only the beginning!), so here’s a great suggestion ─ travel with a group of singles who already know the ropes of traveling, so you can just ask them what you need to do every step of the way. Besides, it’s more fun!
