With the newly expanded codeshare partnership between Alaska Airlines and STARLUX Airlines, a Taiwan-based boutique international airline, travelers can now reach Taipei from 20 U.S. cities on a single itinerary.
The expanded codeshare agreement added 12 new codeshare cities. 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 eight 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, reflecting STARLUX’s expanded U.S. gateway strategy.
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.
“Alaska Airlines has always been an important partner for STARLUX,” stated STARLUX CEO Glenn Chai in a media statement. “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….”
Added Alex Judson, Managing Director of Partnerships & International at Alaska Airlines: “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 regional network in Asia and long-haul service to Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and Ontario, California. In addition to its expanded codeshare with Alaska Airlines, STARLUX also partners with American Airlines. With the launch of the Phoenix route on Jan. 15, 2026, passengers will gain access to American Airlines’ extensive domestic network to connect to more destinations across the Americas.
