Since United Airlines officially launched daily direct flights from Taipei to San Francisco in March this year, passenger numbers have exceeded 110,000, with a load factor of 90%. Therefore, in addition to offering an early-bird fare of NT$16,380 for direct flights to San Francisco, United Airlines has also introduced the "United Play America Travel Package."
Dias, United Airlines’ Managing Director for Greater China and Korea, stated that United Airlines places great importance on the needs of Asia-Pacific travelers. Following the launch of the daily direct Taipei–San Francisco route in March this year, the airline also launched direct routes from Chengdu to San Francisco in June and from Tokyo Haneda to San Francisco in October. Among these, the Chengdu–San Francisco route is the first non-tier-one mainland Chinese city to have a direct flight to the U.S.

Tang Jingyi, United Airlines Taiwan Regional Business General Manager, mentioned that after Taiwan implemented visa-free entry to the U.S., the number of travelers from Taiwan to the U.S. increased by approximately 30% in 2013 compared to 2012, and continued to grow by 7–8% in 2014. Therefore, United Airlines has planned the "United Play America" travel package for two travelers. The package covers round-trip flights to cities such as San Francisco, Chicago, Houston, and New York, along with one night’s accommodation and a free stopover in one U.S. domestic city. Travelers can also choose their own length of stay, with prices starting from NT$29,500. Additionally, early-bird fares starting from NT$16,380 for San Francisco and Los Angeles, and NT$25,380 for New York are also available. (All the above prices are exclusive of taxes.)
