Want to fly to Taiwan and have $1,500 to spare? There’s a fantastic premium economy deal you should consider.

Let’s take a look at this fantastic deal and how to book it.

Fare Details

This deal is from West Coast cities Los Angeles (LAX), Seattle (SEA), and San Francisco (SFO) to Taipei (TPE), Taiwan. You’ll find cheap premium economy tickets on several airlines, including Delta, China Airlines, and EVA Air.

This is a solid deal for close-in, nonstop premium cabin flights. You’ll enjoy a dedicated cabin, extra legroom, priority boarding, and (on some airlines) amenity kits.

Play with some dates on Google Flights and then book directly with the airlines for the best deal:

Class: Premium Economy
Route: Los Angeles (LAX), Seattle (SEA), and San Francisco (SFO) to Taipei (TPE)
Dates: August through November 2024
Rates: As low as $1,500 round-trip

Hot Tip:

If you’re booking a Delta flight on Google Flights, make sure to select Delta Premium Select and not Comfort+, as the latter isn’t premium economy.

How To Book

The absolute cheapest deals are in the second half of August. This is typhoon season in Taiwan, but the weather is warmer, and there’s less rainfall. However, we’re seeing some pretty affordable deals throughout the fall and winter of 2024, which is peak season.
