Why TSA over TPE
ua has jfk-sfo-tpe. $1k economy unfortunately
but i think the SFO-TPE load is relatively low, so you probably can get a whole row to yourself to lay flat. Could also get a $1k buy up for J per leg (ymmv). You have to suffer on the domestic leg(likely crowded)
It's also Basic Economy. +$80 for non BE, which gives you flexibility to change at any time (with fare differences). Can't help you with mileage accural though, only 50% i believe
or jfk-lax-tpe via Alaska and SQ. Alaska miles won't accure on ana, but SQ R will at 100%. $1800
