Ua sfo-tpe $531 11/16-12/6

Found this a couple days ago while looking for an EOTY mileage run ex-SFO.

SFO<->TPE $531 for min. of 3 days.
I'm squeezing this in as an extra work-related vendor trip I didn't think I would be able to make, so I did not spend a whole lot of time hacking the routing on this, looking for extra segments, etc. I actually DO want to be there for a few days, so for me a pair of non-stops works.

I booked:
11/17-11/22
UA 871/872

Availability through early Dec. 12/6, after that, it spikes to $1100/1200.
Hope that helps some...

Well you know, most Taiwan students back home for winter vacation in mid Dec so the price gonna go up like hell. Works same as flights from US to Mainland China, Korea...etc.

Nice. Mine came up $657 all-in with a 2N stay. But 11-14 hours in UA 747 economy is torture - even for almost 13K EQM.

Routing via NRT also works (but is useless for UA mileage accrual, at least, because NH K class=25% miles, making the nonstop better.)

K on NH accrues 100% PQM for international flights (i.e. Japan to Taiwan).
