Despite its small size, Songshan Airport is served by two terminals. However, they are both connected in one building, which you can walk from one end to the other in 5 minutes.
- Domestic - only handles flights within Taiwan, i.e. to the island of Taiwan and the smaller islands of Penghu, Kinmen, Matsu (both Beigan and Nangan)
- International - handles all flights outside Taiwan, including flights to mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau
Opening hours of both terminals are 5:00-23:00.
Both terminals are modernized and very convenient for passengers. Inside you will find plenty of seating including comfortable armchairs with drawers.
Signage is very clear and always listed in Chinese and English.
Immigration control
Upon arrival from an international destination, you will go through passport control at the international terminal. Queues usually reach 5 to 20 minutes.
You will also go through passport control prior to departure, but the queues are usually much shorter, at a maximum of 5 minutes.
Transfer between flights
If you are checking in for the next flight and your luggage is going to your final destination (or you are travelling with hand luggage only), in some cases you do not have to leave the transit area.
- Domestic <-> Domestic - no check, no need to leave the transit area, transfer usually takes up to 10 minutes
- International <-> International - security check, but you do not have to leave the transit area, transfer usually takes up to 15 minutes
- International <-> Domestic - you must pass through immigration and security checks and always leave the transit area, transfer usually takes up to 45 minutes
