A good sale to Taipei

United’s $1,056 fare is a regular economy fare with ONE check luggage and normal size carry-on included

United also have a $896 fare, but it is a Basic Economy / Economy Light fare. These Basic Economy / Economy Light fares:

• DO NOT allow for advance seat assignment
• DO NOT include checked bags – they are $0 each way for the 1st bag and $100 each way for 2nd
• DO NOT allow for changes
• DO NOT allow for cancellations – so if you cancel after the 24 hour risk free period, the Basic Economy version will have no value for future purchase

Pre-pandemic, pricing to all Asian destinations was a lot cheaper due to the numbers of flights from Mainland Chinese airlines. They were allowed 168 flights each week to the US and US airlines were allowed the same to China. However, at the moment, they are at 35 flights or so a week and US airlines are not using its fully allocation of 35 flights to China. This means there is a huge decline in capacity and unless that number gets back to over 100 flights a week from airlines from each country, pricing like this will probably be the norm.
