Exciting travel opportunities have opened up for passengers looking to fly to Taipei. Delta Airlines is currently offering a regular economy fare at $1,024, which includes two checked bags and a standard carry-on. This is a robust option for travelers who prefer a more flexible travel experience.
In addition, Delta has a Basic Economy fare priced at $874. However, it is important to note several restrictions associated with this fare type:
Basic Economy / Economy Light Restrictions:
- No advance seat assignments
- No changes allowed
- No cancellations—if the flight is canceled after the initial 24-hour risk-free period, there is no value for future travel.
- No mileage earning privileges.
Despite these limitations, the Basic Economy fare does permit one checked bag.
