About B7
B7 is a regional carrier built for the short-haul rhythms of Taiwan and the narrow stretch of water between the island and mainland China. With 38 non-stop routes spread across 15 airports, this is an airline that thinks in minutes rather than hours — connecting smaller communities to urban centers rather than chasing long-haul glory. Its main hub sits at Taipei Songshan (TSA), a compact city airport that locals genuinely prefer over the sprawling Taoyuan alternative, with eight routes radiating outward from there. The network is overwhelmingly domestic, with 35 of its 38 routes staying within Taiwan and just three reaching into China.
Why fly B7?
The honest case for B7 comes down to access. If you want to get between Taipei and the Penghu archipelago, or reach Kinmen — that fascinating island sitting just kilometers off the Chinese coast — without a ferry or a lengthy overland detour, B7 is often your most practical option. Taipei Songshan (TSA) is the real selling point here: it's fifteen minutes from the city center, and boarding a B7 flight there versus fighting through Taoyuan traffic is a genuine quality-of-life difference that frequent Taiwan travelers learn to appreciate quickly. For island-hopping across the Taiwan Strait region, the Magong (MZG) and Kinmen (KNH) hubs give you connectivity that larger carriers simply don't bother with.

Tips for booking B7
Book early if you're traveling to Kinmen or Magong around Taiwanese public holidays — these routes fill up fast and prices climb steeply. TSA check-in moves quickly, but the airport is small, so don't assume the usual big-airport buffer time applies in reverse; security can back up unexpectedly. Since the network is almost entirely domestic within Taiwan, don't count on B7 as part of a broader international itinerary — you'll need a separate ticket into Taiwan first. The longest route in the network, SZX to TPE at 802 kilometers, is the only option that starts to feel like a proper flight rather than a short hop.
