Or, if you are scheduling TPE run, you can add a domestic sector with 5940JPY (two sectors for inbound and outbound).
See http://www.jal.co.jp/en/inter/fare/dom.html (in English)
So,
OKA-HND-TPE-HND costs 5940JPY more than HND-TPE-HND.
And this OKA-HND earns 2368FOP.
Of course, you have to buy a separate HND-OKA ticket for a positioning flight.
Thanks, looks like that mileage run might work best for me. Do you know if I have to book those flights now or are domestic flight rates pretty stable?

Good luck
For some reason BKK and SIN are crazy expensive in early December.
