Taipei-based luxury carrier STARLUX Airlines deepens its reach into the U.S. market since its first intercontinental TPE–LAX voyage in April 2023. While the airline established Los Angeles as its first U.S. destination, it has also solidified a strategic partnership with Alaska Airlines, providing several rewards opportunities for loyalty program members of both airlines. Among the perks, customers can book connecting flights on a single ticket, making check-in and luggage transfer more efficient.

STARLUX’s daily LAX–TPE flights will be flown on the airline’s Airbus 350 aircraft and feature four seats in First Class, 26 in Business Class, 36 in Premium Economy and 240 in Economy. The STARLUX flight experience in all cabin classes, meanwhile, is designed to raise the bar on transcontinental flights to Asia. First- and business-Class travelers have a private space with a sliding door and fully flat seats and Zero G mode for full relaxation. The extra-legroom premium-economy section features a 40-inch Recaro seat with leg rest and footrest bar, while economy seats feature a leather headrest and wide seat pitch. All guests have seatback entertainment featuring 4K personal large screens.
Other signature touches include curated in-cabin aromatherapy, Michelin-rated meals in some classes, and Taiwanese signature dish options in all classes. Passengers can pre-order meals online to ensure they can enjoy the meal of their choice. As the Los Angeles Dodgers and Los Angeles Clippers are partner sports teams, LAX–TPE passengers will get to enjoy a variety of LA Dodgers-themed amenities through the end of the baseball season in October, followed by LA Clippers-themed amenities from November to June 2024.

“(We forged ahead), leveraging Taipei’s geographical advantage to expand routes to 16 Asian destinations,” said Glenn Chai, CEO, STARLUX. “Our Los Angeles destination marks the achievement of our goal for a trans-Pacific network.

May 22, 2024Explore an Enclave Steeped in Authenticity Just Outside of Ubud
The verdant hills, rice terraces and serene temples have long attracted visitors to the island of Bali, where incense perfumes the air and raindrops scatter with an almost spiritual significance on city sidewalks. Today many visitors decide to stay, taking up residence in the now expat-centric hub of Ubud. The district was once the spiritual capital of Bali, but, in just the last five years, the desire for trendy cafés playing chill lofi music, craft brews and nightclubs has driven out many locally owned shops in central Ubud.

The history of western Austria’s Stanglwirt stretches back to the 16th century, when a small tavern catered to miners stopping for a drink after long shifts. Today, it’s far from its modest beginnings, sprawling in scale and catering to a considerably different crowd, but you’ll still find heaps of heritage everywhere in this forward-thinking property that treasures traditional Tyrolean hospitality.
