Also, those routings would seem to mostly put you on day flights out of TPE / TYO, so the meals on the night service would also seem to be moot?
It's a part of NH RTW. TPE transfer would push the total mileage over to the next tier. And I always heard the reputation of the NH but never tried. Again, cash paying or real business flyers won't understand.
The only same day connection is NRT to HND mid night departure.
