I class on SFO to TPE
I am considering flying to TPE for my Christmas (I know it is really late). It would be perfect for flying BR7/17/27 but it seems like there is no I class (award business) available around Dec. 15th. I checked and saw that there are still plenty of J classes (business). I am quite new to star alliance and I am wondering whether they will normally release more award tickets. Could someone share some experience on this?

For Christmas time, you have to be very flexible. Also EVA these days does not release SFO-TPE I class award seats until a few days before departure. You can check October award availability and see for yourself.
YVR or SEA could have more I award seats way ahead of departure date.

Last week, BR released more I space to United at T-72,-48,-24. I was able to clear outbound on BR27 using I class on 10/1 the day before. Usually happens around 3am each morning. Just check daily.
