9 Hours Layover in Taiwan/Taipei | EVA Air
Vložit

- Taiwan has so many things to offer. Other than the main city -Taipei, they also have provincial places not too far from the city. 9 hours is not enough to explore The Heart of Asia, but my 9 hours layover was well spent in Taipei. Getting a tour guide isn't necessary if you have a longer layover but is more convenient due to the travel time from the airport to the city, and from place to place.
I highly recommend Aaron if you are looking for a tour guide in Taiwan. You can message him at the following:

Dear Jessa,
Your forgotten childhood wish partially came true lol (Yes, partially lol. I am a proud Filipino. Being Taiwanese is not on my wishlist anymore lol) 7-year old Jessa might faint of happiness if she found out that you explored the Heart of Asia, even for a short period of time. Just another reminder that nothing is impossible. :)
You randomly booked a tour without any expectations. You explored the city with a stranger for 6 hrs and became friends, and learned a lot about the city. You usually overthink way too much, but I'm proud of you for being sponty and just going with the flow this time.
Always remember that having a plan is good, but sometimes you have to loosen up too, go with the flow, and have fun!!! Easily said to be done, especially if finances are the main worry. But keep note that experiences/memories are your greatest investment. :)
Keep exploring Jessa and see you again Taiwan.
Love,
Jessa 2023

Great job.. you made it... Love to see your video
You look good together ❤
as soon as you mention Meteor Garden i got so kilig hahah, a big fan here🙋🏻♀️, we will be there in 2 weeks, we have 10-hr layover.thanks for this video, its very helpful.
I wish I had time to visit the school where they shoot the show but it was 3 hrs away from taipei ahahahaha
but yeah, meteor garden was the OG of the afternoon asian drama ahahahaha Just thinking of it brings a lot of my childhood memories.
❤❤❤
Thank you for this !!!
Thank you for this video ❤
Na miss ko tuloy yung Taiwan. I went there for 3 days 2 nights nung 2019. Your video makes me wanna go back there paguwi ko this year sa Pilipinas :D
Thank you for the wonderful video :)
Hi Jess thans for the video❤
You are a brave young woman!!!! 😅 tell your ate Reina yung tour guide mo!
ahahahaha thanks kuya. kausap ko na sya ahahahah. Dont forget to like and subscribe. ahahaha
Thanks for this vlog. This is what exactly inwas looking for. Was getting out and in from/to the airport difficult?
Im glad it was helpful. It was easy to get in and out, but just put extra time just incase the airport is busy
Thanks for the video! What month did you go?
April, and the weather was perfect :)
Hi. How much did you aron for the tour?
Hi! Any Documents need to present when going outbtaiwan during layover.. thanks🙂
Great video, we have a 9 hour layover next year at Taiwan, we are stuck between going out to the city or just book a lounge. Did you find it was a bit of a rush? For me I always like being in the airport 3 hours before the flight.
The city tour I booked was only 6 hrs and I feel like it's enough time, however, it was holiday when I went so there was no traffic because no office work and school at that time. It was easy for me to go in and out the airport but that was because I didn't take my check in luggage out.
My flight back was 3pm and they dropped me off around 12.
Thanks God i found your vlog. We will have our first vacation to Philippines from NZ. My worries was the 9 hour layover, but after watching your vlog now i will have some confidence. Just to make sure no visa required right when going out to Taipe, you just need to fill out an arrival card?
That's right, no visa needed.
I think it depends on what passport you have. Ph and US passport, for sure don't need a visa for short visit :)
US passport exempts you for up to I believe 90 days stay in Taiwan. That applies to most Asian countries with varied number of days.
Hi jessa i dnt have instagram is it possible to share with me his FB account or where to email him thank u
Can you tell us the ball park how much you spend on the tour with aaron? Thanks
Hi! How much did you pay for the tour guide?
For the layover did you have to pick up your checked baggage or does it go directly to your next flight?
Hi! When I landed in Taiwan, they gave me an option if I wanted to get it during layover or pick it up straight to my destination. So id suggest to talk to one of the associates when you land so they wont take ur luggages out during ur layover.
hi! cool video btw :) I just want to ask, did you have to pay for any dues/taxes since you went out of the airport? thank you!
No travel fees or anything like that. You just have to fill out an arrival card that can be found near immigration gate so you can get out of the airport :) Make sure to bring your own pen because I had a hard time looking for one. ahahahaha HAVE FUN!
@@DearJessa... thank you!!! ☺️
Hi, Thanks for sharing. How about the food, do you also pay for the tour guide's food whenever you eat? :)
i did but not mandatory. It was only less than $10 for both of us, I specifically requested for street foods so its nothing fancy. :)
For six hour’s that’s awesome, a lot of places and experiences, can you kindly guide me how does it work, when you get there to taipei airport.
Hi! I wish I could say more but whatever is on the vlog is pretty much all the process😅. Basically when you land, you walk to immigration gate. Fill out an arrival card. Immigration/gate officers will do a quick interview of your stay (straight forward questions like how long are you staying etc). After passing the gate is where I met the tour guide. :) Coming back is easier, you just need your ticket and passport to get in the airport and look for your gate. You don't need to check in again. :)
Also, before immigration gate there is money exchange booth so i'd recommend doing that before leaving the airport.
Hi Jessa, is the Instagram correct? It's giving me an older version of Aaron. 🙂

I have a genuine question. I'm leaving for Manila in a few days and I have a layover in Taiwan. Did you book two separate flights or the First destination-TPE-MNL option? I wanna leave Taoyuan cos i have an 8h layover and I wanna see my cousin there. I've been getting mixed reviews about my flight and layovers. Thank you!
I will also have a 10-hour layover in Taiwan before my flight to Manila. Where can I find the EVA Air staff to inform them that I’ll just pick my checked luggage in Manila? Thanks!
You can let them know when you check in your luggage in MNL.
Based on my experience, when I landed in Taiwan, EVA staff were waiting by the gate with a list of names and they asked us if we'd like our luggages to be picked up in our final destinations. If in any case, nobody asks you, you can go to the information desk. You shouldn't miss them because the staff would welcome you when you land 😅
Hi! I have a 9hrs layover in Taiwan next month and booked a tour as well but I just have a little concern with the luggages… Eva Air BR272 on the first flight then BR010 on the next.. does it mean that i have to collect my luggage? Or shall i check in my luggage for next flight before going out for Taiwan?
I think it really depends on the associates working there but mine was a connecting flight too and they were able to just transfer my luggage. When you land, there should be multiple EVA air attendants that you could talk to and request if you can just pick up your luggage at you final destination. :) have fun!
Definitely want to find out when you check in or board the plane. It's different with them airlines. Just to prevent the luggage take a different trip than you LOL.
This was so helpful!
Question, What is the name of the agency that Aaron works for? I messaged him directly but in case he is not available I want to be able to book through the same agency! I just booked a last minute trip to Asia and have a 10 hour layover in Taipei!
Hey Jesse and Alexandra, also interested in doing the tour. When do you fly to Manila?
I honestly don't know the agency name because I just found it on Viator (search: TAIWAN DAY TOUR) but Aaron should be able to reply if not on Whats app, try his IG :)
@@DearJessa...what’s his ig profile? i might message a different aaron chang
@@heyana2684 instagram.com/fat_xiang?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
here you are :)
Hello, what was the name of the resto? :(((
Where dis you boom ypur layover tour ?
I’m so excited for my 9hr layover in Taiwan this week😭. Was the process getting back inside the airport difficult?
getting inside the airport was the smoothest part of the trip lol
you just basically scan your ticket and passport. There was no line when i got there but save extra time just in case. There's shower in the 4th floor too if you need to freshen up after your tour. The only thing tho, is not everyone in the airport can speak english so it was hard to ask for directions, but they have decent direction signage :)
hi jessa, is the shower are free? @@DearJessa...
@@dalogdogaillene498 Its free, but they charge for towel.
@@DearJessa... thanks for the reply! is it part of a lounge?? :>>

How much is the tour?
did he pick all the tourist spots you guys went to?
I made a list of where I wanted to go. However, theres not enough time for all the places on my list so he just threw in some suggestions for alternatives (for the other places we couldnt visit) that was ideal for the time I was in Taiwan.
So basically, before we left the airport, we had a 5-10 min sit down to kinda plan the day.
Hi Jessa your vlog is sooo amazing and we will have 9hours layover, how did you find a tour guide/driver in Taipei? how to booked it and how much did it cost you.. Hoping to hear from you soon
Hi, I booked under an agency in Viator but you can just message him directly through whatsapp or his instagram. His infor is on my description box :)

Thank you for your blogs, I am going to Japan next with over 10 hours of layover
How can I contract with Aaron ?
Thank you

Did you have to get your luggage? Even thought your on a layover?
Initially, i had to take my check in luggages because it was a longer layover. But when I landed Taiwan, EVA air employee asked me if I would like to pick them up in Phil instead. They were very helpful.
How did you meet aaron the tour guide?
Viator
Hi! Can you post the Driver’s number again. Seems like it’s missing a digit. Want to use him as my driver next month. Or the agency’s number. Thank you!
Hi Jesse, do you have the link to Aaron’s Instagram acct? I can’t seem to find him. Thank u
Hi! Check the description box. He has his contact information there :)
Hi the number you have for Arron tour guide doesn’t work I am interested
Hello Ms Jessa, ask sana ako. did u get a visa to go out from the airport for the city tour? Just like u, we will be having vacation to PH and will have a long lay over in Taiwan.
No visa po :), ichecheck lang po nila ung flight nio and immigration agents would ask you simple questions lang po like how long are you staying in Taiwan and when is your departure. :)
@@DearJessa... Thank u po. its very helpful 😊😊
Another question po Ms Jessa, ok nmn po ba yung Tour guide?
How much did your pay total for tour and car. How much the charge for Aaron tour?
I paid a little less than $160 USD, including tour and car. But you might be able to get a discount if you message him directly since I paid under an agency.
Thank you for the tour guide info! Was it worth it or do you think I can do it on my own? I have about 24hr in Taiwan but want to get the best experience
@@pigglet802 if you have 24hrs, i think DIY tour is fine. Having a tour guide is just for convenience. You dont have to worry about having your hand carry around and catching subways and bus. Tour guide can take you to more places than doing DIY. But youll be able to save a ton of $ if you take public transpo. So its more of what you prioritize, saving money or convenience.
But definitely with 24hrs DIY tour, youll still be able to go the the places in the video :)
Was 50 bucks enough?
For this 9 hr layover trip, yes it was and still had change. I only bought drinks, street food for 2 people, and souvenir pin. I went to places with free admissions. I didnt have to worry about transportation fees because I had the tour.
If you decide to try different restaurants, go to tourist spots like Taipei 101 obs (which has admission fee), and buy gifts, then $50 isnt enough. :)
Is Aaron still available? That IG or number doesn’t work.
He still should be available. Try this url

Hm did u pay for the tour guide?
I paid $160 usd, but i paid through Viator under a tour agency. But since i got Aaron's direct info, you can contact him directly and might get a discount. Feel free to message him, his information are in the description box :)
