Cheapest pockets are late January (post-NYE) and June through early September, when fares dip to PHP 10,500-13,500 roundtrip. Avoid Lunar New Year (late Jan-Feb), Tomb Sweeping (early April), summer Taiwan school break, and Dec 15-Jan 5, kasi factory-worker kabayan rotation plus tourism push fares past PHP 26,000.

OFW & travel notes
Kabayan factory workers sa Hsinchu, Taoyuan, at Taichung industrial parks sulit ang direct CEB-TPE — single-ticket, walang gulo connecting via MNL. EVA Air’s 30 kg base is hard to beat sa pasalubong runs; PAL Bayani Program adds 10 kg. Tourism balikbayan ay sulit din kasi 14-days visa-free or extended online. Always carry your ARC (Alien Resident Certificate) kapag OFW — Mactan-Cebu Immigration spot-checks. Paano kung delayed? BR at CI rebook within the same operating day; flag your status at the counter.
