Taiwan-based China Airlines has launched a “Pin Your Next Asia Love Story” campaign that offers promotional round-trip economy fares from US$681 on departures from Los Angeles, San Francisco, Ontario, New York, Seattle, Phoenix and Vancouver to Taipei and 15 onward Asian cities. Tickets must be booked between 31 January and 22 February for travel through 31 May 2026, covering both the Valentine’s and Easter holidays.
To widen its catchment, the carrier simultaneously inked an interline agreement with Southwest Airlines, enabling single-ticket itineraries and through-checked baggage from more than 80 secondary U.S. points to China Airlines’ trans-Pacific services. Mobility managers whose travellers are based in mid-continent tech hubs such as Austin and Denver can now route staff to Asia with one stop via Ontario-CA rather than congested West-Coast gateways.
Before travellers take advantage of these discounted fares, mobility teams should confirm the latest entry rules for Taiwan and any connection points. VisaHQ’s online portal can expedite visa checks and applications for China, Taiwan, and other Asian destinations, consolidating requirements in one dashboard—see https://www.visahq.com/china/ for a quick rundown and corporate account options.
![China Airlines Unveils Valentine’s Fare Sale and Interline Deal to Drive North America-Asia Demand]()
China Airlines is pairing the fare sale with a new Michelin-starred in-flight menu designed by Taipei restaurant T+T, featuring fusion dishes like Rose-Duck-and-Truffle Wheel Pie. The culinary upgrade underscores the competitive pressure on Asian carriers to differentiate service quality as capacity on the North Pacific approaches 85 percent of 2019 levels.
For global assignee programmes, the limited-time pricing presents an opportunity to reduce relocation or home-leave airfare budgets; however, companies should note that peak-season surcharge dates around 17 February (Chinese New Year) are excluded. The interline pact also means HR can issue single PNRs that simplify duty-of-care tracking and IATA BSP settlement.
Industry analysts view the promotion as a signal that China Airlines anticipates stronger trans-Pacific yields in the second quarter, aided by Taiwan’s continued 14-day visa-free policy for U.S. and Canadian passport holders and by improving Mainland-Taiwan transit rules via third-country gateways.
