At about 5,960 miles from Vancouver International Airport (YVR) to Taipei's Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE), a nonstop runs roughly 12h30, give or take with the winds. China Airlines carries all of the nonstop award space in the data. The Boeing 777-300 shows up on those nonstop award segments. Nonstops make up only about 2% of the award options in the data; the rest connect.
Settle the cabin before the program: on a long-haul trip like Vancouver–Taipei, it moves the price most. The economy floor is a partner booking on a China Airlines nonstop, with no connection to trade off against the points. That seat adds about $173 in taxes and fees, well above the route's typical economy taxes, so weigh points and cash together before booking. Stepping up costs about 1.6 times the economy points for premium economy and about 2.5 times for business.
Air France-KLM Flying Blue wins economy at 30,500 points on a China Airlines nonstop. Alaska Atmos Rewards takes premium economy at 50,000 points and business class at 75,000. Its first-class fare from 110,000 points connects, which usually means first on one leg only; read every segment. Of the other seven, Air Canada Aeroplan, United MileagePlus, and Qantas Frequent Flyer are worth a look too.
China Airlines is the only airline with nonstop award space on Vancouver–Taipei in the data, and its SkyTeam membership opens that nonstop to partner programs beyond China Airlines' own program. If you're open to a stop, the better-priced connecting awards in the data run through Seattle, Tokyo, and Seoul. Partner pricing sets the premium-economy floor: Alaska Atmos Rewards books Japan Airlines as a oneworld partner, and no program prices Japan Airlines lower in that cabin at last check.
Into Taipei, Songshan (TSA) starts at 37,500 points in economy, close to the route's 30,500-point economy floor and worth pricing when Taiwan Taoyuan space is thin. The next-cheapest long-haul route out of Vancouver is Delhi, from 33,000 points at last check. Whichever Taipei airport you pick, confirm the arrival code before transferring points.
