Flying Los Angeles to Taipei covers about 6,790 miles, linking Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) with Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE); a nonstop takes roughly 14h10, with winds moving it either way. The nonstop award space in the data is split across China Airlines, Starlux Airlines, and EVA Airways. The Airbus A350-1000 and Boeing 777-300ER both appear on those nonstop award segments. Expect mostly connecting results: only about 6% of the award options in the data are nonstop.
On an ultra-long-haul trip like Los Angeles–Taipei, pick the cabin before the program. Saving points means connecting: the economy floor connects once, and an economy nonstop on any of the three carriers costs more. Taxes and fees on the cheapest economy seat run about $31, in line with the route's typical economy taxes. Stepping up costs about 1.7 times the economy points for premium economy and about 2.5 times for business. Hold off on converting flexible points until the seat is confirmed bookable; there's no undoing a transfer.
Alaska Atmos Rewards wins economy at 30,000 points and premium economy at 50,000. Air Canada Aeroplan takes business class at 75,000 points. American AAdvantage lists first class from 150,000 points, but the fare connects, which usually means first on one leg only; read every segment. Among the remaining eight programs, United MileagePlus, Air France-KLM Flying Blue, and Avianca LifeMiles are good places to cross-check.
On points, Los Angeles–Taipei has nonstop seats from China Airlines (SkyTeam), Starlux Airlines, and EVA Airways (Star Alliance), which puts partner programs from both alliances in play for a nonstop. The cheaper connecting awards in the data change planes in San Francisco, Tokyo, and Seattle. Partner pricing sets the business-class floor: Air Canada Aeroplan books United Airlines for the long-haul leg as a Star Alliance partner.
For Los Angeles departures, Ontario (ONT) comes in only slightly higher at 30,187 points in economy against the 30,000-point floor, making it a sensible check when LAX awards dry up; Orange County (SNA) prices from 37,500. Arriving in the Taipei area, Songshan (TSA) starts at 37,500 points in economy, close to that floor and worth pricing when Taiwan Taoyuan space is thin. Ontario also logs nonstop flights to Taipei in the data.
