[B]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...)

Because it's (made) in Taiwan?
