Taipei: €336 China Southern Flights from Paris & Rome (Incl. Checked Bag)

The former member of the SkyTeam alliance, China Southern Airlines, is currently selling cheap tickets for economy class flights from Rome to Taipei. Round-trips from Europe to the capital of Taiwan are available at prices starting around €336. A fare that includes full board service and a checked bag up to 23 kg. Two long layovers (4 to 8 hours) in Guangzhou are necessary to get the lowest price.

Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates for less than €400 for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to our flight search with your selected flight dates. You can choose between online travel agencies or book directly with China Southern, which costs around €30 more.

We have filtered out all connections with an overnight layover in Guangzhou. If you are willing to spend a night in the city, availability gets a little broader.

Flights from Rome to Guangzhou are Boeing 787 services with the industry-standard 3-3-3 seating in economy class. The onward flight from China to Taiwan will most likely be operated with a wide-body plane as well.

Search & Book

According to the fare rules, these tickets are available until sold out or withdrawn. You need to stay at least six days or at least one Saturday in Taiwan to get the lowest fare. These fares show up in the last four months of 2023.

Use Google Flights (instructions) to find all available low-priced connections. The tool will then forward you to China Southern’s website for booking. But if you’d rather save a few Euros, let our Travel Dealz flight search compare prices.

Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?

More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:

Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.

If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.

This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.

Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.

This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.

Mileage

China Southern issues tickets for all flight segments in booking class V. Frequent flyers can earn the following mileage with these tickets:

Destination

Hotel prices in Taipei usually start at roughly €80, depending on the hotel category. Whichever category and hotel you opt for, make sure to get the best price! Our recommendation is to search on booking.com, or even on our own Travel-Dealz hotel search:

Information & Tips for Taiwan

Taiwan offers a mix of natural beauty and urban energy, with key sights like Taipei 101, Taroko Gorge, Sun Moon Lake, and the night markets of Taipei and Kaohsiung. The local currency is the New Taiwan Dollar (TWD), and prices are generally reasonable—street food and public transport are cheap, while hotels range from budget to upscale. The weather is hot and humid in summer, with typhoon season peaking from July to September, while winters are mild, especially in the north.

Taiwan has a well-developed transport system that’s generally easy to use. In cities like Taipei and Kaohsiung, the metro is efficient, clean, and covers most key areas, while buses fill in the gaps. Between cities, the high-speed rail on the west coast is fast and reliable, though more expensive than regular trains. Smaller towns and rural areas may require more planning, as public transport can be limited or infrequent.
