Flights from Taipei City to San Francisco: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from Taipei City to San Francisco

Check your seat assignments consistently until the day of departure.

It is a long flight so be prepared some book to read, play sudoko to relax mind or bring your own soothing blanket or neck rest to sleep on the plane. Do not forget to ask for ear plugs to block the noise if you needed.
Verified travelerFlew with EVA Air-Jan 2026
Going through immigration services is pretty quick. The agents were nice and efficient. But there is not distinct direction for foreign vs US passport. There should be someone there direction traffic. Don’t be afraid to ask. That is why they are there. My last visit, everyone just picked a side and guessed. There was a mix of both and we all got through. So I don’t think it’s as big a deal in SF that it is in other places. You all end up at the same baggage claim anyways.
