Starlux Airlines Business Class

Starlux Airlines is Taiwan's young luxury carrier, first flying in January 2020 and now serving 36 destinations including five US gateways (Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Phoenix and Ontario). Its A350 business class features a genuine reverse-herringbone lie-flat seat, Michelin-inspired cuisine, and an attention to detail that rivals established Asian premium carriers — though it remains outside every major alliance as of this pass, with a oneworld application still blocked by Cathay Pacific's board veto.

About Starlux Airlines

A comprehensive look at Starlux Airlines's premium cabins, service philosophy, route network, and what makes them worth flying.

Airline overview

Founded in 2018, Starlux Airlines is headquartered in Taiwan and operates to 36+ destinations across 80+ countries. The fleet is built around Airbus A350-900, Airbus A350-1000 and Airbus A330-900 for long-haul operations, with additional narrowbody types on regional routes. Starlux Airlines operates independently of major global alliances, with select bilateral partnerships for codesharing.

The business class experience

Starlux Business Class features Lie-flat reverse herringbone with direct aisle access (Collins Elements, 1-2-1, A350). Seat width is 23 inches and fully extended bed length is 79 inches — comfortable for passengers up to about 6'3" (190cm) to sleep fully flat. The seat layout on Starlux Airlines's long-haul widebody aircraft typically offers direct aisle access for every business class passenger, so you never have to climb over a seatmate.

In-flight entertainment is delivered via 24-inch 4K touchscreen (A350). Dining on Starlux Airlines: Michelin-inspired cuisine, Taiwanese fusion. Baggage allowance in business class: 2 × 32kg checked. All flights include amenity kits, premium bedding, and priority boarding/baggage handling.

Lounges and ground experience

At the home hub: Galactic Lounge (TPE). At other airports worldwide: Contract lounges at US airports. Lounge access is included with your business class ticket — you show your boarding pass at the lounge entrance and receive food, drinks, WiFi, and dedicated workspaces until boarding time.

On the ground at departure, Starlux Airlines business class passengers get dedicated check-in counters, fast-track security lanes where available, and priority boarding. At arrival, baggage is tagged with priority labels and comes out first — typically saving 15-30 minutes versus economy on heavily-loaded flights.

What travelers say

“Most impressive new airline launch in years. Beautiful cabin, excellent food, and eager-to-please service. The Galactic Lounge at Taipei is stunning. A real competitor to EVA Air — though note it carries no alliance affiliation, so miles/status don't transfer the way they would on a oneworld or Star Alliance carrier.”
