One of the best airlines to fly out of NZ on, this is NOT Air China (mainland Chinese airline) but China Airlines - Taiwan based.
Search results might show even cheaper routes (eg Air China under a grand), but you can use the filters to choose just China Airlines.
Very nice luggage allowance too.
'Direct' being one flight, but has a technical stop in Brisbane, thanks @4znDvd, I'd blanked on that since I last posted.

FYI China Airlines doesn't actually fly direct to Taipei - there's a "technical stop" in Brisbane.
