Decision: ANA or UA to TPE?
Decision needed here, to pick which flight for NRT - TPE roundtrip 4/13-17.
Ua-tpeANA: $490. Since I’m the ANA blonde status I’ll get extra 465 bonus mile for the NRT -> TPE flight. (But not for the return, since it’s a code share op’ed by EVA) The return flight is 8:50 am which is a bit early.
UA: $390. The first flight arrives at TPE 9pm which is a bit late. I’ll probably need another 1 hour or so to get to my friend’s house from the airport. The good side that I can probably go to SAKK office on that day. The connecting flight on 17th NRT is 5pm and 3 hours is almost perfect. (The image says 1,330 miles but I’ll just get 930, 75% because my card is ANA. Bleh)
It’s a 3.5 hours flight and they are both non-upgradable (Upgradable ones are $500 or more expensive). The other option for me is to use 20,000 miles to get a free economy for ANA. I have currently 35,000 miles in my account.
Which do you think I should pick?
