If you’ve been thinking about a fall trip to Asia, today might be the perfect time to book. Flights from the US to cities across the region, including Southeast Asia, are available right now as low as $359 round-trip from cities on both the US east and west coasts.
Starting this month with availability extending through the end of the year, flights from Los Angeles (LAX) to Taipei (TPE) are showing up at $359 round-trip on Xiamen. Other routes to Asia are serviced by China Southern, and numerous other cities are included in this deal, including popular destinations in Southeast Asia like Bangkok (BKK), Kuala Lumpur (KUL), and Denpasar (DPS).
