Rational Travel recently spotted news about Tieway Airlines’ new Kaohsiung-Jeju Island route, and it’s absolutely eye-catching! This route was teased on their website as early as March 5th at midnight, but a bunch of people stayed up late without seeing direct flight prices – even Rational Travel was confused. The official announcement didn’t come until afternoon, and they initially quoted 8,000 pre-tax for one-way, 18K round-trip, which seemed expensive enough to question whether this was a budget airline or five-star service. However, promotional prices finally dropped in the evening – April launches with 1,600 pre-tax one-way, 6,535 round-trip with tax, and includes 15kg checked luggage. Rational Travel did the math and it’s really good value, plus this price absolutely crushes other airlines.
The flight times are super convenient too. Starting April 22, flying four times a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Departure from Kaohsiung at 13:40 (TW690), arriving Jeju at 17:05; return flight (TW689) departs 11:05, arriving Kaohsiung at 12:40. Flight time is about 2.5 hours using a 737-800 aircraft – small, efficient, and fuel-saving. The promotion runs until March 31st, with travel dates from April 22 to October 25, covering the peak summer season – perfect for friends wanting to fly to Jeju to eat seafood and enjoy ocean views. The only thing is ticket quantities seem to be released gradually, so if you want cheap tickets, you’ll need to keep monitoring the official website or risk watching others fly instead.
Even better, Tieway has additional promotions. You can use discount vouchers on Taiwan-South Korea routes (300 one-way, 800 round-trip, excluding Tomb Sweeping Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Double Tenth Day), plus combine with LINE Pay for 10% cashback on amounts over 5,000 (capped at 900 points). Stacking these discounts, round-trip becomes 5,735 after the 800 deduction, plus 500 points cashback, equaling an actual cost of 5,235 – an absolutely killer price. The inaugural route shows genuine sincerity; it just comes down to how many tickets they release!
