The enhanced agreement offers U.S. travelers streamlined booking, coordinated check-in, and smooth transfers through Alaska’s domestic network and STARLUX’s international gateways in San Francisco and Seattle. Reservations are now open for booking through STARLUX Airlines’ official website and app.
The newly added codeshare cities include:
• Via Seattle: Minneapolis, Atlanta, Tampa, Anchorage, Raleigh-Durham, Orlando, Washington Dulles, Kansas City, Philadelphia, Spokane, and Boise
• Via San Francisco: Newark
These cities join the original 8 STARLUX–Alaska codeshare cities—Salt Lake City, San Diego, Phoenix, Portland, Las Vegas, Dallas, Denver, and Austin—which have been operating since the end of 2024, and now connect via Seattle and San Francisco, reflect-ing STARLUX’s expanded U.S. gateway strategy.
Whether traveling for business, family, or leisure, STARLUX and Alaska Airlines’ expanded partnership opens up easy access to STARLUX’s premium service and growing Asia network—making Taipei a launchpad for travel across the region. COSMILE members can also redeem mileage on Alaska-operated flights, adding flexibility and value to every trip.
“Alaska Airlines has always been an important partner for STARLUX,” stated 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, stated: “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 robust regional network in Asia and long-haul service to Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, and Ontar-io, California. In addition to its expanded codeshare with Alaska Airlines, STARLUX also partners with American Airlines. With the launch of the Phoenix route on January 15, 2026, passengers will gain access to American Airlines’ extensive domestic network to connect to more destinations across the Americas.
