DL is only matching fares where UA is in direct competition via one stop (SEA/SFO). There are also not many choices from East Coast.
They also offer 195K one way in Skypesos for XXX-SEA-TPE in Busienss. Not as good as 110K as previous but definitely not the skyrocket 450-540K for other routes. In Economy there are 20-30K one way.
