Kaohsiung Airport

Kaohsiung International is nice and clean. It's right in the city and 15 minutes away from downtown Kaoshiung It's quite small compare to Taipei CKS but it has all the essentials of an international airport and a subway system should be finish in two years which takes you straight to the train station which you can continue your travel plan.

I normally used CKS as the gateway to Taiwan. I find the comments by Jan Willem Meijer very comforting. The last time I had the pleasure of getting off in Kaoshiung was some years back and then the airport has not been refurbished. Facilities and services were basic but I heard it has improved tremendously. Building a subway to the city centre is a great achievement by the local government it should be applauded! I hoped to use Kaohsiung Intl airport in the near future.

Generally Kaoshiung Int. Airport is a user-friendly airport. Although it is not a huge airport but it covers all the necessary facilities an international airport should provide. The new International terminal is beautiful and in my point of view it is more efficient compared to CKS in Taipei. This is a nice airport to transit. Their official website also provides informative stuff to visitors and this should add credit to them.

Kaohsiung International Airport is a great small airport! Clean efficient with friendly staff. Shops are limited as can be expected at a small airport. Link to the city is now still by bus which can be slow because of the subway construction that is going on. Once the subway opens Kaohsiung will be a great way to enter Taiwan!
