Exciting Fare to Taipei
United offers an $896 fare that includes TWO checked bags and a standard carry-on with a regular economy ticket.
Alternatively, a Basic Economy fare is available for $726. However, this option comes with several restrictions:
- No advance seat assignments permitted.
- Checked bags are not included: $0 for the first bag each way, $100 for the second.
- No changes allowed.
- No cancellations allowed: Canceling after the 24-hour risk-free period means the Basic Economy fare will have no value for future purchases.
