I'm pondering meeting up with a friend in Ishigaki, Okinawa, Japan on my upcoming trip.

I'll be on a tight budget hitchhiking from Singapore to China with no real plan or itinerary so any departure airport along that route or even Taiwan would be suitable - if the price is low!

It seems that flight search engines sometimes make it easy to find flights to anywhere in a country, but when I would fly from anywhere in China to one specific airport I can't find any easy way to search.

In fact I don't even know which airlines and routes service Ishigaki but I suppose that will be easier to find.

Well I thought this was going to be a silly question and that Ishigaki's airport might not be international.

But then some hunting revealed that there are in fact direct flights from Taipei to Ishigaki on TransAsia Airways.

Picking a random date in August I found the price to be $8448.0 TWD, which comes to $308 AUD, much cheaper than any non-direct flights I have spotted so far.

I've now found another possibility, also from Taipei via the website momondo.com.

Mandarin Airlines seem to have direct flights to Ishigaki for about $295 AUD but their website is of such poor quality that I can't work out how to book directly rather than with momondo.
