1,545 live award deals to Taipei (TPE). Alaska Mileage Plan offers access to EVA Air, one of Asia's top carriers, while Flying Blue Promo Awards are the budget pick.
Alaska has a fixed award chart covering EVA Air flights to Taipei. Economy starts from 37,500 miles one-way for Pacific routes. EVA Air's Royal Laurel business class is widely regarded as the best in Asia — Alaska is often the cheapest way to book it. Transfer Chase or Capital One points to Alaska.
Flying Blue Promo Awards flash sales frequently include Asia routes. Economy from 31,000 pts during promos — up to 50% off standard rates. Transfer Amex, Citi, or Chase points to Flying Blue. Watch the monthly promo calendar.
Many TPE deals show Delta + Alaska codeshare routing. These mixed-program awards can be booked through Alaska for partner flights. Watch for connecting itineraries through Tokyo (NRT/HND) or Seoul (ICN) as positioning flights.
The standout redemption for Taipei is EVA Air's Royal Laurel business class — consistently ranked among the world's top long-haul business class products — booked through Alaska Mileage Plan. EVA's 777 Royal Laurel cabin features herringbone seats with direct aisle access and 76-inch fully flat beds. The LAX–TPE route runs approximately 13 hours, and the premium cabin experience on a flight of this length makes the mileage upgrade (from economy's ~37,500 to business class's ~60,000+ Alaska miles) one of the most justifiable in transpacific travel. Alaska's fixed award chart covers EVA without fuel surcharges — a significant advantage over programs that charge $300–500 in carrier fees for the same flights.
To earn Alaska miles for this redemption: Capital One Miles transfer 1:1 to Alaska Mileage Plan with no fees. Chase Ultimate Rewards also transfer 1:1. The Bank of America Alaska Airlines Visa earns miles directly. Alaska miles never expire with any account activity in 24 months — a feature that allows long-term accumulation without stress. Award space on EVA to TPE is available but limited; search at alaskaair.com and cross-reference availability on EVA Air's own site (evaair.com) before booking.
Taipei's Taoyuan International Airport (TPE) is a strong regional hub for continuing to other parts of East and Southeast Asia. From TPE, EVA Air and China Airlines operate frequent service to Tokyo (NRT/HND, 3 hours), Seoul (ICN, 2.5 hours), Hong Kong (1.5 hours), Bangkok (3.5 hours), Singapore (4 hours), and Manila (1.5 hours). Budget carriers Tigerair Taiwan and Starlux also serve many regional routes at very low cash fares — making Taipei an effective entry point for a multi-country Asia itinerary where you award-book the transpacific leg and purchase cheap regional hops on cash.
Within Taiwan, the High Speed Rail (THSR) runs from Taipei Main Station south to Taichung (40 minutes), Tainan (1.5 hours), and Kaohsiung (1h40) — giving access to Taiwan's second-largest city and the Kenting beach resort area in the south. Taroko Gorge National Park, one of Asia's most dramatic landscapes of marble cliffs and turquoise rivers, is 4 hours from Taipei by TRA express train to Hualien. Taiwan's domestic transport is reliable, affordable, and easy to navigate with Google Maps and the EasyCard transit card, which works across Taipei Metro, buses, and THSR.
