Just did ICN - TPE - SYD
Overall a very good experience so it's a shame they've reduced availability.
Had 10 hrs between flights though and left the airport to go into Taipei - seemed a fun city.
Lounge in T2 was horrible though, windowless, hardly any toilets. There's also an apparently better lounge in T1 an extra 10-15 mins walk or so but they don't let you visit that once you've had your pass taken for T2!
Decent-ish lounge food though saved hunger for the flight. Blue Label whisky in business class and excellent service.
There is some availability out of TPE close to 12 months out. September has pretty good availability for two people to Melbourne.
Might be useful for visiting places in the region, getting a cheap economy flight to Taipei and spending a night or two there before the flight back. Sadly not really an option to Europe anymore.
