Promotion Fares ex-TPE, Bookable 20.Jul - 22.Aug, for Travel Commencing 01.Sep.2016
Anyone interested in doing mileage runs ex-TPE to accumulate Club Points?
Very good promotional Business Class fares just launched for travel from Taipei to Hong Kong, SE Asia, and China. Books into I class, and can change dates without penalty. No stopovers in Hong Kong on the outbound or inbound, though.
For example, for TPE-HKG-TPE, the fare is TWD 10,246 all in. Not bad for 30 Club Points!

Deals are pretty nice for ex-TPE departures until Jan 15, but not in time for CNY mass migration yet.
CNY fares ex-TPE to, say KUL or PEN, are still in full Y and J.
As I can't see the detailed fare rules (sub-links not clickable), I wonder if one could confirm a booking now and later change the dates to fit into a CNY schedule? Just an idea that floated a few minutes ago.

So, just to clarify...these "Business Save" I Fares and the usual "Business Standard" I Fares both book into the same I Class, right?
That is, if we make a booking on the promotional fare now, we should be able to make changes after 22.Aug as long as there is still an I fare available. Correct?

If you make changes, you may have to re-ticket. I didn't read the fare rules, but most likely fare rules may not allow it, especially for the outbound.

The only things same for "Business Save" I and "Business Standard" I Fares are that passengers can earn the same miles and points. However, they may be of different POS, and have different fare rules.

Cancellation of unused ticket: both allowed, at a charge of TWD 2,000 for BSav and TWD 1,200 for BStan.
Cancellation of partially used ticket: not allowed for BSav, and at a charge of TWD 1,200 for BStan.
Changes to inbound and/or outbound travel dates: both BSav and BStan allowed with no handling charge (as long as that fare is available)
BSav has more restrictions on allowable travel dates
BSav has 1-month validity for the inbound, and BStan has 3-month validity

From my comparison of the Fare Rules, here is what i see to be the main similarities and differences:
Cancellation of unused ticket: both allowed, at a charge of TWD 2,000 for BSav and TWD 1,200 for BStan.
Cancellation of partially used ticket: not allowed for BSav, and at a charge of TWD 1,200 for BStan.

It is better to decide on the travel and not to change it. Promotional fare is not just based on booking class, and may just not be available anymore after 22 August.

The bottom line is: you cannot change outbound without refare.
