Alaska Airlines is about to use its luxury partner on a long-haul flight. The carrier will offer service from Seattle to Taipei on Starlux Airlines three times a week.
Seattle joins San Francisco and Los Angeles as routes on Starlux from Taipei.
“Starlux offers an industry-leading product with great onboard service and access to a range of bucket list destinations across Asia. With Starlux’s arrival in Seattle, we’ll have 13 of our global partners now serving our hometown hub where we have more daily flights and destinations than any other carrier on the West Coast,” said Brett Catlin, Alaska Airlines Vice President.
On the days of service, the new nonstop from Seattle arrives early in the morning in Taipei, which allows for better connectivity to other flights throughout Asia. The nonstop departs Taipei in the evening for a mid-afternoon arrival in Seattle.
Starlux CEO Glenn Chai said: “Seattle is not just our latest destination, it’s a pivotal milestone in our U.S. expansion strategy. For the first time, thanks to our esteemed partner Alaska Airlines, we can connect passengers from over 100 U.S. cities via the West Coast to Asia Pacific. We’re thrilled to bridge continents, expand travel options and deliver exceptional service to our customers.”
Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle are gateway airports for Alaska Airlines.
Alaska recently reached a tentative agreement with its flight attendants.
