_Money_: Save money by taking the Taoyuan Airport MRT to Taipei for $4-6 instead of a $30-40 taxi ride. - _Insider_: The observation deck in Terminal 2 offers superior runway views from 06:30 to 22:30. Don’t be surprised by a bag check upon entry. - _Time_: Transfer smoothly between terminals with the 24-hour Skytrain, pressing the call button after midnight for service. - _Quiet_: The 5F landside areas with 24-hour seating in both terminals offer relatively quiet spaces for resting or working. - _Avoid_: Many dining options close by 22:00, so eat early or rely on convenience stores and vending machines. - _Local_: Crowds might miss the curated pineapple cake selections airside; try them for authentic local flavors. - _Time_: With a layover over 6 hours, consider a quick MRT trip into central Taipei for a bowl of beef noodle soup, keeping return security in mind. --- ## Live data Live arrivals, departures, and weather are not in this static reference.
