According to statistics from the Tourism Bureau under the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, the number of Taiwanese visitors to Japan in the first half of this year (2012) reached 730,000, an increase of nearly 50% compared to the same period last year. In response, TransAsia Airways has launched discounted airfares for its daily Osaka and Okinawa routes. Travelers departing before the end of September can enjoy an economy class round-trip fare to Osaka at NT$9,888 (excluding tax) and to Okinawa at NT$7,888 (excluding tax), with ticket validity periods of 14 days and one month, respectively.
TransAsia Airways has also launched the "Premium Business Class Courtesy Campaign." From now until September 30, any group of two traveling to Osaka, Hokkaido, Okinawa, Jeju, Busan, Sanya, Macau, or Singapore—eight of TransAsia Airways’ major destinations—can enjoy an upgrade to business class at a special rate starting from NT$8,888 to NT$18,888 per person (excluding tax), with a one-month ticket validity and requiring both travelers to depart from and return to the same city. In addition, the first 2,000 passengers traveling from September 1 onward on TransAsia Airways flights to Osaka can receive a limited-edition ELMO-themed phone charm provided by Universal Studios Japan when collecting their boarding pass and checking in luggage at Taoyuan Airport.
