Putting this query in the Domestic Airfare thread is quite the political statement 😄.
Anyhow don’t pay any attention to the fares until a week before your flight. As an example, tickets for tomorrow PEK-TPE are selling for $286 and $299 on CI and BR respectively. Certainly don’t spend miles on those tickets if they are at these prices.
