Here’s a test for our most devoted readers: remember our Taiwan issue last spring? We listed six can’t-miss Taipei sites, from the arts center, movie theater and market at The Red House (pictured below) to Primo, a club that’s sorta like a Taiwanese Dragon-i.
Now Cathay Pacific is offering a deal till the end of the month that makes getting there almost as affordable as a night market meal.
Book by October 31, for travel until December 13, and get a special rate of $1,400 on a round-trip flight to Taipei. OK, taking into account taxes and fees and surcharges and all of that business, it adds up to an even $2K. After checking out a couple of weekends in November, it seems the timing isn’t always ideal, since the only flights available leave earlier in the afternoon on both Friday and Sunday.
Maybe it’s time to put in for that half day… or lower our expectations (and costs) by flying China Airlines or Eva Air.
