Book New Year Travel Arrangements Early
Anyone with plans to be travelling within Taiwan during the upcoming Chinese New Year holiday should insure that their travel agent books tickets well in advance. The two-week period leading up to and during the lunar new year holiday never fails to see a dramatic increase in the number of people travelling and bus, train and airline tickets are always sold out early.
Railway officials warn that tickets good for travel on February 8th, 9th, 13th, 14th and 15th will be sold out quickly as many travellers will be rushing home on the first two dates to celebrate the holiday with their families and will be returning during the latter three-day period.
A spokesman for Taiwan's Civil Aeronautics Administration said that domestic airlines will add 312 extra flights between Taiwan and the offshore Pescadores Islands during the period from February 3rd through the 16th. Additional flights will also be scheduled to other offshore islands as well as on most routes within Taiwan itself. Even so, he said, most flights are expected to be fully booked well ahead of time.
