Look no further if you have been searching for award flights to Taiwan. We found some great options in both economy and business class flying on Starlux to Taipei.

Dates are limited, but this is one of the best ways to the popular city from the U.S.

Let’s take a look at the details.

Award Alert — Details

The award flights we are seeing are mostly on Starlux, the highly-rated Taiwanese airline.

Although there are plenty of seats available in economy, if you can snag a business-class seat, it will be a much more comfortable way to spend the 14-hour flight to Taiwan.

To score the best price, you will want to use Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan

Class: Business and economy class
Routes: Ontario (ONT), San Francisco (SFO), Los Angeles (LAX), and Seattle (SEA) to Taipei (TPE)
Dates: July 2025 to January 2026
Rates: 75,000 plus $19 in taxes and fees

We are seeing up to 8 seats in economy, so this could be a great way to get that trip out of the group chat. Business class seats are limited to 1 per flight, unfortunately.

To help find the most availability, try searching via Seats.aero, 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.

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

Starlux markets itself as a luxury airline — and it’s true. 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 American Express Membership Rewards to Hawaiian Airlines miles and then convert those to Alaska Airlines miles.
