On Tuesday (September 30, 2025), STARLUX announced an expansion of their codeshare partnership with Alaska Airlines with the addition of 12 new gateways, now allowing customers to reach Taipei from 20 U.S. cities.  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 (SFO) and Seattle (SEA). The newly added codeshare cities via Seattle include Minneapolis, Atlanta, Tampa, Anchorage, Raleigh-Durham, Orlando, Washington Dulles, Kansas City, Philadelphia, Spokane, and Boise, and via San Francisco from Newark.  These join the original codeshare cities, including Salt Lake City, San Diego, Phoenix, Portland, Las Vegas, Dallas, Denver, and Austin.

In Tuesday’s announcement, STARLUX’s CEO, Glenn Chai, said,

“Alaska Airlines has always been an important partner for STARLUX.  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.” 

Also commenting on the codeshare expansion, Alaska Airlines’ Managing Director of Partnerships & International, Alex Judson, said,

“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.” 

Currently, STARLUX operates 33 routes to 29 destinations, including a robust 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 January 15, 2026, passengers will gain access to American Airlines’ extensive domestic network.
