Air

TransAsia Airways (02-2972 4599), Mandarin Airlines (02-2717 1188) and Uni Air (07-801 0189) all have flights to Heng Chun Airport (www.hca.gov.tw/english/default.htm) from Taipei. While Heng Chun is much closer to Kenting than Kaohsiung (a 20- to 30-minute drive), you will still need to catch a bus or taxi to complete your journey. Note there are no shuttle buses between the airport and Kenting. You have to walk out onto the main road and wait for a Kenting Express Bus to come by.
