Cheapest flights from/to Taiwan to/from Central Europe

By Central Europe I mean: Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Austria. I found out the cheapest tickets from to Taiwan to Central Europe are from:

• Taipei to Budapest (Hungary) 
• Taipei to Prague (Czech Republic).

These are usually with 1 or 2 stops (usually in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Moscow or other Asian city with 2^nd stop in Europe- Amsterdam, Frankfurt).

I’m slowly becoming a frequent flyer on this route, so I think I have quite good overview regarding cheaper flight tickets from/to Taiwan. At first I usually check the prices on http://www.skyscanner.net/.

Then I go to website of that particular airline, for example China Airlines and book the flight there. 

Sometimes you can get a good deal in Taiwan by purchasing a ticket through travel agent. In travel agency you can pay cash and a good thing is that you can almost always persuade them to give you cheaper ticket. 

When buying through travel agent in Taiwan, it is important to have good knowledge of ticket prices before you approach one.

I actually prefer to buy ticket through Czech-Slovak travel agent- Student agency. .(http://www.studentagency.sk/). They have got English website as well (http://www.studentagency.eu/), but I'm really not sure about the payment by foreign debit cards, should be possible of course, so just ask. They should be able to speak English. This agency's got the cheapest tickets from Europe to Taiwan you can possibly find.

When to buy a ticket to (Central) Europe?

It depends on the reason why you want to travel. Many people travel to Europe for holiday and the best time is either summer time (July-August) or winter time (December – January) to experience a winter beauty. At this time the tickets are much more expensive then out of season. Price depends on how well in advance you  are buying a ticket, but generally during the season it will cost from 700- 1200€* return ticket, and from 500- 850€* one-way ticket on the above mentioned destinations.   

Sleeping In airports

I have some experience with sleeping in airport and I can say it is usually save when using common sense and follow basic rules:

• o   Have a continuous look at your handbag, luggage;
• o   Sleep nearby other sleeping people- yes, you can sleep, but take care of your belongings; I usually put them as close to me as possible or cover them by light blanket.
• o   If you have to go away and leave your luggage, you can ask policeman or service personnel to look at it.
• o   Take small pillow, it’s bothering but I always regret when I don't take it.

Very nice and useful source of info about sleeping in airports is this website:  http://www.sleepinginairports.net/.  You can find info on particular airport of your interest.

HAVE A NICE TRIP~~ :)
