I was looking at TPE and didn't see F (but I do see it to SIN). However, I didn't look to long so I could have missed something. I am open to getting most of the way there in F. I'm looking for something the last week of June/first week of July. Right now the schedule is an A380 but it's a gamble.

Yeah, I'm looking at other options such as F to SIN or TPE then onward.
