STARLUX Airlines, the luxury carrier from Taiwan, has expanded its codeshare with Alaska Airlines to connect 12 new U.S. destinations. The initiative offers travelers more convenient booking, coordinated check-ins, and smooth transfers through Alaska’s domestic network and STARLUX’s international hubs in Seattle and San Francisco.
The latest codeshare partnership expansion adds the following destinations: via Seattle—Minneapolis, Atlanta, Tampa, Anchorage, Raleigh-Durham, Orlando, Washington Dulles, Kansas City, Philadelphia, Spokane, and Boise; via San Francisco—Newark. These join the original eight STARLUX–Alaska codeshare cities—Salt Lake City, San Diego, Phoenix, Portland, Las Vegas, Dallas, Denver, and Austin—which have been operational since the end of 2024. The move reflects STARLUX’s growing focus on U.S. gateway connectivity.
The codeshare partnership introduces passengers to STARLUX’s high-quality service and expanding Asian route system, making Taipei an easily accessible base for business and leisure travel.
“Alaska Airlines has always been an important partner for STARLUX,” said STARLUX CEO Glenn Chai. “This new chapter in our partnership not only strengthens our North American network, but also gives travelers more flexibility and efficiency when flying to Taipei and beyond. COSMILE members can now even redeem mileage on Alaska flights—making every journey smoother, smarter, and more rewarding.”
Alex Judson, Managing Director of Partnerships & International at Alaska Airlines, added: “We’re excited to expand our collaboration with STARLUX to connect even more of our network to its long-haul service from Taipei. With seamless access through Seattle and San Francisco, this next phase strengthens our shared commitment to offering travelers more choice, convenience, and premium service across the Pacific.”
STARLUX currently operates 33 routes to 29 destinations, including a regional network in Asia and long-haul services to Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, and Ontario, California. In addition to the codeshare with Alaska Airlines, STARLUX also has partnerships with American Airlines, granting travelers access to an expanded domestic network, including the new Phoenix route commencing on January 15, 2026.
STARLUX is anticipated to extend its route network through strategic partnerships. Additional interline agreements for passenger and cargo services will also be in the offing, expanding the carrier’s global connectivity and providing a hassle-free travel experience across North America.
