At about 7,790 miles from New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Taipei's Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE), a nonstop runs roughly 16h10, give or take with the winds. China Airlines and EVA Airways both carry nonstop award space in the data. The Boeing 777-300ER appears on some of those nonstop award segments. Nonstops make up only about 4% of the award options in the data; the rest connect.
Settle the cabin before the program: on an ultra-long-haul trip like New York–Taipei, it moves the price most. The economy floor connects once; an economy nonstop on either carrier costs more. Taxes and fees on the cheapest economy seat run about $23, below the route's typical economy taxes. Premium economy runs about 1.3 times the economy price and business about 1.9 times. Transfers out of bank programs can't be reversed, so confirm the exact flight is bookable first.
American AAdvantage wins economy at 37,500 points, premium economy at 50,000, and business class at 70,000. It also lists first class from 110,000 points on a connecting itinerary, often first on one leg only, so confirm the cabin on each flight. The other nine programs include Air Canada Aeroplan, Air France-KLM Flying Blue, and Alaska Atmos Rewards. Economy and premium economy also price as partner awards, with one airline's miles buying another airline's seat.
Two airlines show nonstop award space on New York–Taipei: China Airlines (SkyTeam) and EVA Airways (Star Alliance). Partner programs in both alliances can price a nonstop here, not just the carriers' own. The cheaper connecting awards in the data change planes in Tokyo, San Francisco, and Seattle. Partner pricing sets the business-class floor: American AAdvantage books Japan Airlines as a oneworld partner, and no program prices Japan Airlines lower in that cabin at last check.
On the New York end, Newark (EWR) and White Plains (HPN) both tie JFK at 37,500 points in economy. Arriving in the Taipei area, Songshan (TSA) matches the route's 37,500-point economy floor. For a lower-cost long-haul trip from New York, Amsterdam starts from 12,000 points at last check.
