I love the timing on the new return flight. Leaves TPE at 1:10PM and arrives SFO at 9:25AM. Really disliked how early UA872 leaves from TPE. New SFO-TPE flight leaves at 12:25AM, around the same time as all the Taiwan carriers.
Winter schedule of two SFO-TPE flights:
UA 871 1:30pm SFO - 7:50pm TPE
UA 853 11:25pm SFO - 5:45am TPE

UA 872 11:35am TPE - 6:55am SFO
UA 852 1:10pm TPE - 8:25am SFO

I thought the second TPE-SFO would leave in the evening to better utilize the aircraft. Still one 77W will park in TPE overnight.

This winter SFO-TPE non-stop: BR has 3, UA 2, CI 1 and JX 1. Where is the premium traffic coming from, TSMC and AI-related?
