D.C. We used to take a direct United flight to San Francisco, 12 hours, or fly to Tokyo and then direct to Washington. However, now Delta has the contract and people have already had to fly to Tokyo to NYC to Washington, so at least 17 hours in the air without the transfers. - Sep 2015

Colorado. There is now a direct United flight to SFO, which is very easy. Otherwise, connections through Tokyo and direct United to Denver. Considering how far away Taiwan is from the U.S., the "commute" really is not bad at all. Also, EVA is a great airline, direct to LAX. - Apr 2015
