I think you mean China Airlines (based in TPE)...which is part of SkyTeam.
Air China (based in PEK) doesn't fly this route...

Still a pretty awesome fare though!

I think you're going to be sorely disappointed on this one. An L fare on CA is good for UA earnings (especially since you'd get the PEK-TPE and v.v. segments you left out) .... but this isn't a CA fare, it's a CI fare and I have no idea what if anything a CI L fare earns on DL after January. It doesn't nor ever has to my memory earned jack on UA.

Amended the thread title to reflect that this is CI, not CA, ST, not *A.

Good fare but not a MR. CI L fares earn zip in DL program. Heck, CI L fares don't even earn in CI's own program.

Interesting that TFD (link above) shows the fare in K class. K would earn 50%.

UA/BR match

UA matched the price with limited dates in Jan 2015, I heard BR (EVA) will match, too.
