Starlux Business Class to Asia Available with Atmos Rewards

Starlux Airlines has made a significant amount of business-class award seats available for booking using Alaska Airlines Atmos Rewards points, offering a premium travel option to Asia. This availability is particularly noteworthy as finding saver-level award space on Starlux has previously been challenging. The airline operates flights from five U.S. gateways to Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE): Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), San Francisco International Airport (SFO), Ontario International Airport (ONT), and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA).

Bookings can be made directly through the Alaska Airlines website. The redemption cost is between 75,000 and 85,000 Atmos Rewards points for a one-way business-class ticket. Flights from LAX, SFO, ONT, and SEA to TPE are priced at 75,000 points, while the slightly longer route from PHX to TPE requires 85,000 points. In addition to the points, passengers will incur taxes and fees, which are $25.60 for flights to Taipei and $53.83 for flights departing from Taipei.

The travel period for these award seats spans various dates from July 2026 to June 2027. Some flights have up to four business-class seats available per flight, indicating a substantial release of inventory. This presents a prime opportunity for travelers looking to experience Starlux's business-class product, which has received positive reviews for its service and amenities. For instance, TPG's Clint Henderson described his 2024 experience on the LAX-TPE route as "a blast" with "luxurious business-class product" and excellent service.
