On the heels of its inaugural trans-Pacific flight to Los Angeles, Taiwan-based luxury carrier Starlux Airlines announced a strategic partnership with Seattle-based Alaska Airlines. The agreement will give both Starlux and Alaska loyalty program members more opportunities for rewards by earning points on flights operated by each carrier. Once fully implemented, the partnership will allow customers of both airlines to book connecting flights on a single ticket. The partnership will greatly expand Starlux's reach into the U.S., with customers accessing Alaska Airlines' domestic and international network, connecting at Alaska's Los Angeles gateway. It will also increase travel choices for Alaska customers looking to travel to Asia, with access to 16 destinations, with a transfer in Taipei. The new Taipei-Los Angeles flights will be flown on Starlux's Airbus A350 aircraft and feature four seats in First, 26 in Business, 36 in Premium Economy and 240 in Economy. Starlux was launched in 2020.
