[Award Alert] U.S. to Taipei in Business Class From 75K Miles

If you’ve been dreaming of visiting Taiwan but have been struggling to find decent award space, we’ve got you covered!

Currently, there is good availability on Starlux flights to Taipei, with options in both economy and business class for up to 5 passengers departing from the West Coast.

Although dates are limited, this is easily one of the best ways to fly from the U.S. to Taiwan. Let’s take a look at the details.

Award Alert — Details

We received the details for this award alert thanks to a tip-off from the extremely useful, and free to use, award booking platform Roame.Travel.

While there are many seats available in economy, in our view, business class is definitely the way to go for the 14-hour flight to Taiwan, especially since the experience with Starlux is highly rated.

To score the best price, you will want to use Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan to book these flights.

• Class: Business and economy class
• Routes: Los Angeles (LAX), Ontario, California (ONT), Seattle (SEA), and San Francisco (SFO) to Taipei (TPE)
• Dates: July to October 2025
• Rates: 75,000 miles plus $18 in taxes and fees

We are seeing up to 9 seats in economy, so this could be a great way to get that trip out of the group chat and into reality. Best of all, there’s business class availability for up to 5 passengers — though there’s only space for 3 passengers in business on some dates — making it an ideal option if you’re traveling with others.

To help find the most availability, try searching via Roame.Travel, which will populate up to a year in advance (if you have the pro version) and let you compare multiple dates and routes simultaneously:

If you don’t have the pro version, you can still use the search feature to search between specific airports. Alternatively, you can use the flexible dates search on Alaska Airlines to view a month’s worth of dates at once:

Best Ways To Book

The best prices and availability are found using Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan miles.

Starlux markets itself as a luxury airline — and it’s not an exaggeration. Flights in business class normally go for nearly $4,000 one-way, so you’re getting a great deal with your miles here.

Alaska Airlines miles can be more difficult to earn than other miles, due to their lack of transfer partners. You can transfer over from Bilt Rewards at a 1:1 ratio. Failing that, you can also convert Marriott Bonvoy points, though at a much worse 3:1 ratio. You also can earn Alaska Airlines miles through its dining program and its credit cards.

Final Thoughts

If you’ve been searching for flights to Taiwan, or even want to use it as a landing point for a trip to other points in Asia, this is a great deal to take advantage of.

Plus, since there is award availability in both economy and business class, this is an excellent opportunity to use your hard-earned points and miles to fly there comfortably and affordably.
