LAX-TPE is 6799 miles. Those 60k awards will go up to 75k, or possibly 85k if you are connecting from somewhere 201+ miles away rather than originating in LAX.

Looks like Starlux is already at 75k for saver.

Anyway, mention of Starlux aside, my point stands. A devaluation was inevitable, and plenty of value in the new award charts is there to be found, especially compared to what you can get elsewhere.
