6) Any other information:
I was quite frustrated when my seats were not able to be cleared a week before travel as I couldn't and shouldn't pre-paid for my hotel rooms before I had a confirmed ticket.
There were 6 empty PL seats out of 36 on the Taipei-Vancouver bound and 10 empty PL seats out of 36 on the Vancouver-Taipei bound.
Total mileages used: 202,500 for 2 PL class seats
