DPS-TPE is also not a 7 hour flight. There is a time zone difference and it's a little bit over 5 hours. It's bearable, but not anywhere near good. It is possible you might get the few new 333s that reclines pretty much flat, but that's YMMV as aircraft rotations do happen.
Thank you! Yes I realized afterwards that it is 5.5 and not 7, which feels much more manageable. The flight is not till next Sept so hopefully they will swap out more of the old aircrafts for the new ones. Watching a video of the A321neo and that looks really nice
Also to your point of DPS-TYO-SFO, I did toy with the idea of booking Garuda biz from DPS-TYO and then JAL the second leg. Points wise it's fine but nervous about having 2 separate tickets and feel that it's prob not worth the hassle
