Ishigaki Island (250km east of TW) - direct flights 2013

What would a return ticket set you back?

I don’t know at this stage. Last time i was in Taipei (2 months ago) it would have been a bit more than 10000 NTD if i recall correctly, but now, with Mandarin having implemented regular flights, things might be different, and i’d have to check again.

According to these pages, you can also book the Mandarin flights via China Airlines:
china-airlines.com/en/newsen … 000831.htm
china-airlines.com/ch/newsch … 001375.htm

BTW, i noticed that this website shows the direct fligths between Taipei and Ishigaki:

aviability.com/flight-search/fro … gaki-japan

If you choose a Thursday or Sunday there, you will see TransAsia being mentioned as having a direct flight; if you choose a Wednesday or Saturday you will see Mandarin mentioned the same way.

Thank you! NT$13k for a ticket and a hotel, sounds interesting.

Moving along: TransAsia has online booking in place now:

Are all the Taipei - Ishigaki routes gone for now?

I don’t see Ishigaki listed on the Mandarin Airlines or TransAsia websites.
