Opinion

A three-day booking window is very tight, and the exclusion of premium cabins is a major drawback.

However, for those willing to travel in economy and able to align with the specific travel dates, some of these deals offer genuine value. Flying from the US to Taipei for 30,000 points, without fuel surcharges, is a good redemption.
