The option I had is either to change date (no availability within 1 week), to receive full refund, or to change to flights on UA metals.
The newest route is TPE-(UA)-SFO-(UA)-EWR.
(Surprised that UA is that flexible, given that the availability was only in JN class at the moment, costing 275k miles +tax oneway).

Since my original itinery involves transfers in Japan and Austria, I paid the relevent tax of these countries.
Now that I am rerouted to only include the origin and destination countries, would I be able to ask for tax refund?
Thank you.
