a quick pricing comparison shows that UA's lowest fares for MR's from SFO are:

SFO to:
TPE - $440
NRT - $478
ICN - $488
PVG - $558
PEK - $578
HKG - $588
BKK - $610
SIN - $628

not that i'm complaining, but any ideas why TPE is so low (especially since the flight even goes through NRT, and the SFO-NRT is 38 bucks more...)

Sounds like a pretty good long haul MR, if you can afford the travel time (or not wanting to do nesting).</font>

thanks to the election, right now EVA is offering election special fares, and the two parties are flying people for free back to TPE from the US to vote
