ex TPE DONE4 Prices and Ticketing
Well my plans to start the DONE4 ex NRT seems to be harder each day:
1) Availability issues on NRT-SYD
2) Cost of getting from HKG-NRT and award availabiltiy for 2 PAX in X Class is hard to get for the flight I want to connect at NRT (if it is just myself than it wouldnt' be a problem)
so I am considering to ex TPE, which according to EF is only less than
$3k HKD difference, and I still have a HKG-TPE ticket which needs to be used, so no problems there...
If anyone has full CRS access can they check the publish price for DONE4 ex TPE just to make sure I am right:
ex NRT DONE4 = $48630HKD
ex TPE DONE4 = $51550HKD
Also just wondering is there a ticket counter where I can pickup the PAPER tickets @ TPE. I have only dealt with etix before so don't know the exact situation there. (may not be able to do a turnaround, if I need to head to the city to pick up the tix)
Thanks

Which airline do you want to ticket this with? CX has a counter at the airport. With AA you would need to go see their agent in Taipei.

From Sabre just now. You'll need to do the currency conversion yourself.
Code:

I picked up a CX RTW ticket there about 2 years ago specifically because AA doesn't have a counter at the airport and I didn't want to look for the local agent in town. The policy could have changed since then I admit.

Thanks All for your assistance.
From your experience, do you find using AA is cheaper comapre to CX? For CX the added advantage I have is I can change the reservation anytime 24/7 via a toll free number anywhere in the world through MPO.

AA fuel surcharges (the total for the trip) are significantly lower.
