| Jan 4, 2021 at 7:34 | comment | added | Jan | Anecdotal: in 2019 I flew KIX–TPE return. I ended up using CX, a 5th freedom carrier, but they were not the cheapest option (I chose them for being in the OneWorld alliance). In fact, I could have saved ¥10k–20k by going for an LCC or even a non-LCC legacy. Unfortunately, the data can’t currently be compiled because neither Japan nor Taiwan are letting foreigners in easily and practically all international flights to KIX have been cancelled. | |

Conversely, fares on fifth-freedom flights are sometimes (but not always) lower than local-line fares, which you might be more loyal to." | |
