When my dad asked about any other type of accommodation for his inconvenience their answer was sorry if you don't like it you don't have to fly . I am sure he could have got a partial refund but it wasn't worth his time. Not impressed.
There are also SEA-TPE, SFO-TPE, and a whole bunch of Southeast Asian routes from TPE and from HKG, and TPE to Europe and Mainland routes. Their service is much superior than UA.
