Flying Seattle to Taipei covers about 6,060 miles, linking Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) with Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE); a nonstop takes roughly 12h40, with winds moving it either way. The nonstop award space in the data is split across China Airlines, Delta, Starlux Airlines, and EVA Airways. The Airbus A350-900 and Boeing 787-10 both appear on those nonstop award segments. Nonstops make up only about 6% of the award options in the data; the rest connect.
On a long-haul trip like Seattle–Taipei, pick the cabin before the program. The cheapest economy seat is a partner award on a China Airlines nonstop, so the lowest price is also the quickest trip. Watch the cash: about $194 in taxes and fees, well above the route's typical economy taxes, so more points and less cash can win. Stepping up costs about 1.8 times the economy points for premium economy and about 2.5 times for business.
Air France-KLM Flying Blue takes economy at 27,562 points on a China Airlines nonstop. Alaska Atmos Rewards is cheapest in premium economy at 50,000 points on a Starlux Airlines nonstop. American AAdvantage wins business class at 70,000 points. Alaska Atmos Rewards lists first class from 85,000 points, but the fare connects, which usually means first on one leg only; read every segment.
Nonstop award space on Seattle–Taipei spans two alliances: SkyTeam (China Airlines, Delta) and Star Alliance (EVA Airways), plus Starlux Airlines. That means partner programs in both alliances have a way onto a nonstop. Off the nonstop, the cheaper connecting awards in the data route through Vancouver, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. American AAdvantage sets the business-class floor as a oneworld partner, selling Japan Airlines seats at its own rates.
For Seattle departures, Everett's Paine Field (PAE) starts at 37,500 points in economy, above the route's 27,562-point economy floor, and works as a backup when Sea-Tac space is gone. Arriving in the Taipei area, Songshan (TSA) costs more, at 37,500 points in economy against that floor, so it's a second choice rather than a first. For a lower-cost long-haul trip from Seattle, Amsterdam starts from 15,000 points at last check.
