Book Fast: Wide-Open Starlux Business Class Award Space to Taipei

As first reported by The Points Guy, Starlux has released a large batch of business class award seats bookable with Alaska Airlines Atmos Rewards points.

Space is wide open in both directions between Taipei (TPE) and all five of StarLux's U.S. gateways — Los Angeles (LAX), San Francisco (SFO), Seattle (SEA), Ontario (ONT), and Phoenix (PHX) — with availability scattered from July 2026 through June 2027 and up to four seats on some flights.

Pricing is at Alaska's saver level: 75,000 Atmos Rewards points each way from Los Angeles (LAX), San Francisco (SFO), Ontario (ONT), and Seattle (SEA), or 85,000 points from Phoenix (PHX), plus $25.60 in taxes and fees heading to Taipei and $53.83 coming home.

If you're flexible on dates, an award search tool like Seats.aero can help you find availability quickly.

Starlux isn't part of a major alliance, so Atmos Rewards is the practical way for U.S. travelers to book its lie-flat suites. Short on Atmos Rewards points? Bilt transfers to Atmos Rewards at 1:1, so you can top off an account quickly.

Andrew's Take

My wife and I flew Starlux business class home from our honeymoon last year. It's an interesting (and quirky) experience, complete with top-notch dining and a great hard product. If you're considering a trip to Asia, it's worth booking a seat before award space dries up.
