China Airlines, the largest airline of Taiwan is running two promotions for their Premium Economy class fares.

1. Premium Economy fares to Asia are on sale starting at $1,000
2. There is also a 10% off promotion that is going onto April 17th – Promo Code: HAPPYAPR
3. Combine these two promotions and you can fly for starting $930.
4. These fares will earn 20% elite qualifying dollars of distance flown with Delta, so New York to Taipei will earn about $3,000 EQD for example.

China Airlines unlike Mainland Chinese Airlines actually has good service. And the Premium Economy product is solid and also within Asia, most of these fares will give you Business Class for the intra-Asia segments.

China Airlines flies out of New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles. We found availability to:

• Taipei [TPE]
• Bangkok [BKK]
• Hong Kong [HKG]
• Singapore [SIN]
• Ho Chi Minh City [SGN]
• Kuala Lumpur [KUL]

Those are some of the cities we checked, but probably available to other China Airlines Asia destinations. We think this is a really good deal – this is only 1.5X the normal ECONOMY sales price.

Here’s what to expect with China Airline’s Premium Economy product.
