    Singapore doesn't fly the A380 from LA to Taipei and I don't believe Singapore flies to Taipei without having to go all the way to Singapore first, which is about an extra 8-10 hrs out of the way. You can usually buy miles as long as you're a member of Singapore's Kris Flyer program or a Star Alliance partner airline, but I think you'll find that to be quite expensive if you don't already have a lot of miles in your account. You could try finding a direct Singapore Airline's flight (777, Airbus or 747) to Hong Kong or Japan and take another airline to Taipei, or even though their business class is not as nice as Singapore Airline's, save a lot of money and time by taking China Airlines or EVA directly to Taipei from LA, good luck.

    I would recommend that you buy your ticket from an Asian travel agency since they buy blocks of seats for the LAX-TPE flights. I went through our travel agent in Cincinnati to buy a SIA ticket from SFO to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

    Unless SIA changed their flight, they used to have an LAX-TPE flight that stops in Taipei and then continues to Singapore. My parents were on the Singapore Airlines flight that originated in Singapore, stopped in Taiwan and continued to LAX. That flight crashed in Taiwan because it hit some construction equipment on the runway. Thankfully my parents got off in Taiwan.

    Right now SIA uses the A380 from Singapore to Sydney, Australia, and Singapore to London Heathrow. The third A380 will be used from Singapore to Tokyo starting in late May. SIA operates a flight using the 747-400 from LAX with a stopover in Tokyo Narita with a continuation to Singapore. I also thought they had a flight on a 747-400 from LAX to Taipei then to Singapore. The third flight out of LAX is an Airbus 340-500 flying non-stop from LAX to Singapore.

    Just as Gerald said, you can take China Airlines and EVA from LAX to Taiwan. We flew EVA in 1997 and found the flight to be excellent. Avoided China Airlines because of their safety record though China Airlines usually has a lower ticket price. If you want to upgrade to Business Class, you have to buy a coach class ticket that is upgradeable and that ticket usually costs a little more than a regular coach class ticket.

    Denver to Los Angeles is a popular route for several airlines. You can go through one of the online services that compare airline fares, or go directly to each airline online. I have frequently found when I only need the airfare (no car rental or hotel) that I get the best rate straight through the airlines web site. Try United, Frontier, Allegiant, Southwest since they are the most major carriers from Denver to Los Angeles.

    La civilización Taiwanesa es rica en historia y para conocerla no hay mejor sitio que ir de vacación en Taipéi, la ciudad más ínclito de este país y para entrar allí sin problemas entonces deber apelar a este sitio https://tr.im/1S1XN . Entre las cosas más visitadas de Taipéi se encuentran: El gran Templo Long Shan; el Torre Taipéi 101 donde sus 101 pisos lo llevan a ser el segundo rascacielos más altos del mundo y el Museo del Palacio Nacional, un museo que cuenta con una galería de armería, trajes y todo lo referente a su antigua historia, guerras y todo lo relacionado al pasado de Taiwán. Muchos de los lugares de esta bella ciudad son destacados a nivel mundial por la civilización que abunda en cada uno de ellos, muy diferente al estilo de otras grandes ciudades, son lugares que ofrecen cosas totalmente únicas.
