I used to leave work around 6pm and go to Burlingame area to grab some dinner before heading to airport. Now I just wait until after 9 so I don’t have to be stuck in traffic and it would still take me close to 1.5 hours to SFO.

If anyone offer flight from SJC to TPE I will jump ship immediately.

Yep like I said SJC is probably one of those destinations that will work, but I am unsure how many passengers will be like krispykrme cause the flight will have to be in operation during the day, not a good time to catch the flight and lose a working day. If EVA does not venture into ONT I can see Starlux pick up traffic there, but only after they start LAX (and do well). China Airlines should seriously consider adding a second evening flight at ONT or LAX and compete with EVA while sealing out Starlux.
