AC Executive First on the A343 and even the 767's is definetly way ahead of BR's "Super Business Class".
I never seem to be able to get a good M fare to ICN.
Actually, both the route through HKG or through ICN are valid routings for AC's M fare to TPE. No need to price the fare to either place. Then there are good connections on Thai.
I ended up paying a bit over CAD 2400.
