Deal Alert: Round-trip to Taipei for 50k

Taipei wasn’t on my bingo card for this fall, but I just might have to add it with this deal.

We’re seeing flights to Taipei from over 97 U.S. airports for 50k-64k points round-trip for every weekday in September, with decent availability in August as well.

September might be just the ticket, too — summer humidity is fading, and warm, breezy evenings exploring night markets finally start to become comfortable.

Plus, it’s mango and pomelo season, ummm yum?? 🥭

With the peak tourist crowds starting to clear out, a visit in the shoulder season makes seeing the sights even easier to appreciate.

And if you time your visit later in the month with the Mid-Autumn Festival, you can score cooler temps and experience one of Taiwan’s biggest holidays, and maybe some local BBQ.

Taipei's making a strong case for itself right now, and these award flight prices are definitely helping.
