[Expired] [Award Alert] U.S. to Taiwan in Business Class From 75K Points

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 9 passengers departing from the West Coast.

Although dates are mostly for the next few months, 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

While you could search award programs one by one, we prefer to save time and use free award search tool like Roame.Travel and Seats.aero.

We’ve found a bunch of sets in economy, but 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 Atmos Rewards to book these flights.

• Class: Business and economy class
• Routes: Los Angeles (LAX), Seattle (SEA), and San Francisco (SFO) to Taipei (TPE)
• Dates: August through November 2026
• Rates: 75,000 points plus $18 in taxes and fees

We are seeing up to 9 seats in economy for just 37,500 points, so this could be a great way to get that trip out of the group chat and into reality. Best of all, there’s also business class availability for up to 9 passengers on some dates, making it an ideal option if you’re traveling with others.

To help find the most availability, try searching with one of your preferred tools, 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 Atmos Rewards points.

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 points here.

Alaska Airlines points can be more difficult to earn than other points, 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 can also earn Alaska Airlines points 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.
