Lifetime if you can requalify each year with at least 4 sectors.
or you could fly HX J, there are most of the time below 7k, you can also buy the HX airpass where you get like 5 flights or so for a fixed price..you'll have lounge access (the club in TPE and HX lounge in HKG), 60kg luggage and priority.

the lowest 100% mileage accrual V class TPE-HKG return costs 7688 NTD
the cheapest discounted 0% mileage Q class costs around 6348 NTD.
Price diff isn't significant here (certainly not double up the fare given I assume that you're flexible on departure time ex-TPE) Perhaps it's time for your company and you to look closer at this matter and make the best use of the money - i.e. buying a more flexible fare and allowing you to earn miles to quality for Silver!
Sounds good, except I believe I just discovered why my company always buys the cheapest fares: http://www.cathaypacific.com/cx/en_U...arketcode=TWHKOriginally Posted by HKGglobaltrotter

If I'm reading this correctly it seems that for the Taipei --> Hong Kong route, there is no difference between the cheapest fare (no miles) and the cheapest fare that can earn miles in terms of cancellation fees and re-booking.
I suppose from the company's point of view, there is no benefit for them in paying for a higher fare class.
