Seattle, WA and Taipei, Taiwan – March 28, 2024 – Taiwan-based luxury carrier STARLUX Airlines announced today that it will expand its U.S. presence with the launch of nonstop flights from Seattle to Taipei starting August 16. Reservations are now open for booking. This new route marks the airline’s third U.S. gateway after Los Angeles and San Francisco, offering U.S. travelers direct flights to Taipei and seamless connectivity to 21 Asian destinations.

Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is also the hub of STARLUX’s partner Alaska Airlines, enabling travelers bound for Asia to easily transfer upon arrival at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
