Kaohsiung Airport Security Wait Times (KHH): What to Expect - HonestAirport

Kaohsiung International Airport (KHH)

KHH

Kaohsiung International Airport security wait times

What a normal day looks like at security here, and how to get through faster.

Flying from KHH?

Enter your flight for a door-to-door plan: when to leave, security, the lounge you can use and your gate. No account needed.

On a typical day

~12 min through security at KHH, from our airport directory. Early mornings and holiday weekends run longer.

Budget that on top of check-in or bag drop and the walk to your gate. For your exact leave-home time, enter your flight above: the plan uses the live wait when there is one.

International vs Domestic is the whole game — and they are not sterile. Trust the boarding-pass terminal; no sterile domestic↔intl walk; MRT Exit 2 vs Exit 6 matters.

How to get through faster at KHH

File TWAC before you land
Digital arrival card within 7 days — not a visa substitute.
Metered taxi pickups add a published NT$50 stay surcharge at both terminals (Domestic restored the surcharge from 1 Sep 2026). Prefer the marshalled queue (Int’l: left after Gate 1 / FamilyMart; Domestic: Gate 3) over touts.
International Terminal: 1997 international hall. 3F check-in / departures; 1F arrivals / Customs; airside after security + passport control with East gates 21–26 and West gates 27–32, duty-free, prayer rooms, children’s play area (right / East), and the VIP lounge cluster. Opening hours 04:20–24:00 (extended for delayed flights). After the last flight, airport police clear the building — this is not an overnight sleep product. A 00:00–06:30 night curfew remains in force on the airfield.
Transfers: International-to-international transit uses the Transfer Counter in the Transit Lounge on 2F, then security back to 3F gates. Domestic↔international always implies a landside / CIQ re-clear unless the airline product says otherwise.
