We don’t normally feature deals from China Airlines because their cheap tickets don’t earn miles with anyone. However, when the largest airline of Taiwan puts various destinations Asia on sale for under $650, it might be worth it to some, especially those infrequent flyers who travel once a while.

• Taipei [TPE] – $594
