Starlux Airlines

Had my first Starlink flight yesterday, sitting in first. Guy next to me made two actual phone calls mid-flight just to tell people his onboard internet was faster than his WiFi at home. Both calls were short enough that crew didn’t step in, but still… felt like a preview of...

I’m flying from Seattle to Taipei and my flight is scheduled to land at 4:55 AM. I won’t be checking any luggage, just carrying a bag. From Taipei I have a separate ticket to Osaka booked with Alaska Airlines using points, departing at 8:30 AM. Since it’s a self connection, I’ll...

I’m flying Starlux soon and was trying to figure out the WiFi situation in Economy, but the info online is confusing. The last thing I can find says they removed WiFi from Economy around late 2024 while upgrading the system. But now it’s 2026 and I can’t find anything saying it...

We have an upcoming trip with a few connections and just wanted to see if anyone has experience with this route. The itinerary is SLC to Seattle with Alaska Air in the evening, then after a 3 hour layover Seattle to Taipei with Starlux. After arriving in Taipei there’s about a 7...

From what most people report, Starlux typically weighs the carry on but not the personal item, as long as the personal item clearly fits under the seat and isn’t oversized. That said, enforcement can vary a lot depending on the departure airport and even the specific check in...

Heads up for anyone flying Starlux. I spent about 30 minutes with customer service trying to add my second last name to my ticket. At first they told me it wasn’t possible and that I’d need to cancel and rebook entirely. After pushing back, they eventually agreed to add it, but...

Flying Starlux to TPE and my ticket allows 2 checked bags at 23kg each. I’m traveling with a group and some people are only checking one bag. On other airlines I’ve flown, they’ve sometimes just totaled the group’s checked weight and didn’t care if one bag was a bit over as long...

Flew Starlux within Asia recently and noticed the cabin crew were very strict during announcements. Every time there was turbulence or a PA, they had me fully unplug my headphones from the IFE. I get the safety side of it, but the screen already pauses and you can hear the...

I’m connecting in Seattle from Alaska to Starlux, all carry on, both tickets through Alaska. Trying to figure out if there’s any way to check in for Starlux airside or if I’m stuck exiting and coming back through security. Anyone know if Starlux has any check in setup inside?

Booked TPE→CGK on Starlux and accidentally selected “Ms” for my husband. The travel agency said the airline told them it’s no big deal. But when I called Starlux myself, they said the title has to match the passport and could cause issues with immigration, and they want it...

Looks like Alaska just dropped a limited-time award sale to Southeast Asia. I managed to grab a one-way Starlux flight to Bangkok for 35k miles + $70 for two people using the Summit companion pass. Was planning this trip anyway, so I’m pretty happy with that redemption. Couldn’t...
