The codeshare flights initially cover eight domestic routes including Salt Lake City, San Diego, Phoenix, Portland, Las Vegas, Dallas, Denver, and Austin--all to Seattle, operated by Alaska Airlines. Customers are now able to book from the eight cities and the connecting flights from Seattle to Taipei operated by STARLUX on a single ticket, making check-in and luggage transfer faster and easier.
“We are thrilled to unveil our inaugural codeshare flights in collaboration with Alaska Airlines, marking a pivotal expansion of our North American network,” said Glenn Chai, CEO of STARLUX Airlines. “This codeshare makes it easier for passengers to book connecting flights and travel seamlessly between these destinations using both airlines. STARLUX will continue to forge strategic partnerships with airlines to further expand our passenger networks, fostering mutual growth and success for all involved.”
"We're proud to be STARLUX's first airline partner and excited about this next chapter in our ongoing cooperation," said Brett Catlin, vice president of loyalty, alliances and sales at Alaska Airlines. "We look forward to inviting guests on board and delighting them with the premium experience and care that Alaska is known for across the industry."
STARLUX Airlines operates a total of 31 routes, covering a comprehensive network across Asia, as well as three major cities on the U.S. West Coast: Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle. The Los Angeles route is set to increase from daily service to 10 flights per week starting December 22, while the Seattle route will expand from three weekly to daily flights from March 1 next year.
