STARLUX Launches First Nonstop Flight from Phoenix to Asia in 2026

STARLUX Launches First Nonstop Flight from Phoenix to Asia

On the heels of the recent inauguration of its fourth U.S. destination Ontario, CA, Taiwan-based luxury carrier STARLUX Airlines announced Tuesday new nonstop service from Phoenix, Arizona to Taipei, beginning January 15, 2026.

This marks Phoenix’s first nonstop connection to Asia, establishing a new transpacific link from the state of Arizona. For travelers across the Southwest, the new nonstop Phoenix–Taipei route eliminates lengthy layovers in Los Angeles or San Francisco, offering a more direct, comfortable connection to Asia. 

Reservations for the new Phoenix–Taipei route are now open and can be booked through travel agents and on http://www.starlux-airlines.com.

The Phoenix-Taipei route will be served by the new-generation Airbus A350, with three weekly flights at launch, increasing to four weekly flights starting March 2026.

Prices start from around $450 one way in Economy, but you can also book with Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan miles. 

Full schedule details are outlined below:

STARLUX Airlines currently operates 10 weekly flights between Los Angeles and Taipei, alongside daily service connecting Taipei with both San Francisco and Seattle. For Ontario, California, STARLUX offers four weekly departures. As STARLUX continues to expand its North American network, passengers will enjoy more seamless connections to major Asian cities via Taipei.
