 With some hints from crucially, I booked a less-known RTW ticket with EVA and Virgin. Even my agent was surprised about the existence of this fare. Unlike oneworld or star RTW which are mostly US$6000 for business class, this one is $3200 after tax, and is with virgin's Upper Class though EVA's business class is nothing to be excited about. You can see the destinations offered by eva and virgin are quite limited, but if that's only where you want to go, that's pretty damn good choice. And you can make short-haul connections with very reasonable price these day. EVA also has TPE-SEA-ERW, so you can essentially get to SEA and fly cross the US on an international-flight business class for free if you are on this ticket. (don't get me started on how US domestic flights suck) I decided to make my own SFO-BOS connection, as the SEA-ERW arrival time is bad (23:30), and I don't feel like hanging out in New York this time just yet. UPDATE: The fare no longer exists after Jun2007
