Flying Taiwan's Newest Airline: Our Honest Review of Starlux Business Class

How we booked Starlux business class using points: Flight dates: 3/10/25 SFO-TPE, 3/17/25 TPE-SFO Date booked: Jan 2025 during spontaneous drop of Starlux award availability on Alaska Price: 75k Alaska miles + $36.20 per person one way Points used: 150k Alaska miles from opening Alaska and Hawaiian credit cards, 150k from Amex - Hawaiian - Alaska transfer (method is no longer available) Best way to book Starlux award flights: There is usually one saver (75k) seat available at calendar open (330 days before departure) and multiple seats (I've seen up to 7+) available last min, usually a week before departure. For all other times, you will have to stay up to date or set alerts for random award drops.
