Coworker of mine said it is about 7 hours door to door for PEK to Taiwan. (I assume its Taipei airport)

What are some possible times for:
1. Leaving LATE friday (I assume it will have to be after work)
2. Leaving EARLY saturday
3. Flying back LATE sunday (so I can go back to work Monday morning)

What are some airlines I should look into?
I am sure there are small airlines that are not on expedia.

Thanks!
Well, you certainly want to go nonstop, so I believe you're looking at CA, BR, and CI. You can use *A miles for CA and maybe BR, and SK miles for CI... they're all basically the same on this route. Miles usually pencil, but sometimes there are worthwhile specials on revenue tickets that are worthy of consideration.
