Tokyo to Taipei is a short-haul Japan–Taiwan route, and nonstop award space shows up on five carriers, including Cathay Pacific and Starlux Airlines. Eight programs price the route, and economy starts at 7,500 points on a Cathay Pacific nonstop. That price runs through Alaska Atmos Rewards, another airline's program, so Cathay Pacific's own points aren't automatically the cheapest way on.

Roughly 1,360 miles separate Tokyo's Narita International Airport (NRT) and Taipei's Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE), so a nonstop spends about 3h15 in the air, a little more or less depending on winds and direction. Five airlines carry nonstop award space in the data, including Cathay Pacific, Starlux Airlines, and EVA Airways. Aircraft logged on those nonstops include the Boeing 787-8, Airbus A330-900neo, and Airbus A350-1000. About 21% of the award options in the data are nonstop.
Points have to beat the cash fare to earn their keep on Tokyo–Taipei. The economy floor is a partner booking on a Cathay Pacific nonstop, with no connection to trade off against the points. Expect about $59 in taxes and fees on top, in line with the route's typical economy taxes. When the fare is low, pay cash and hold the points for a pricier trip. The exception is nonstop business class: at about double economy, it's the cabin where an award is most worth checking against the cash fare.
Alaska Atmos Rewards wins economy at 7,500 points, premium economy at 10,000, and business class at 15,000, all on nonstops operated by Cathay Pacific and Starlux Airlines. Air Canada Aeroplan lists first class from 60,000 points, but the fare connects, which usually means first on one leg only; read every segment. The first-class routing changes airports in Shanghai, from Hongqiao (SHA) to Pudong (PVG), so allow transfer time.
Nonstop award space on Tokyo–Taipei includes Cathay Pacific, Starlux Airlines, EVA Airways, and Japan Airlines, among other carriers in the data. In economy, the floor sits on Cathay Pacific, booked through oneworld partner Alaska Atmos Rewards.
For Tokyo departures, Haneda (HND) starts at 15,000 points in economy, above the route's 7,500-point economy floor, and works as a backup when Narita space is gone. Arriving in the Taipei area, Songshan (TSA) costs more, at 12,500 points in economy against that floor, so it's a second choice rather than a first.
