Don't complain about high fares. Think about folks need to fly to China.
These are COACH fares.
This is truly madness.
If folks really need to get to China that badly and don't mind flying on non-UA metal, they could fly to TPE (cheap) on UA or non-UA metal and then fly from there to China for far less. That's what some of my family is doing. Less than 1.3k per person to fly from east coast to Taipei on mostly UA metal and then 500ish a person round trip to go from there to China.
