26th April is a milestone for the new Taiwanese airline Starlux as it launched its first long-haul flight to Los Angeles, CA. The chairperson of Starlux, Chang Kuo-Wei 張國煒 personally flies the A350 flight as the captain.
I was invited to fly in Starlux First Class. There are just 4 First Class fully enclosed private suites in the front and 26 Business Class suites on the Starlux A350-900. Check out all the cabin, seats, amenities, food and beverage offerings during the launch flight. I gave my verdict about the entire product at the end of the video.
Find out all the details about Starlux Airlines and behind the scenes with Chairman Chang Kuo-Wei 張國煒 flying the plane. He talked about his upbringing in the aviation industry.
Starlux Airlines started operation at the beginning of 2020; the worst time in aviation history. The airline persisted and now flies 20 brand new Airbus including 13 A321neo, 4 A330neo and 3 A350-900.

I think Starlux will be one of the best airlines in Northeast Asia. Undoubtedly, its hardwares are the newest and have excellent inflight meals. Of course, there are some disadvantages that need to be improved; however, the potential of this airline is foreseeable. Hope Starlux can be the TOP airlines in the world. By the way, their chairman, Kuo-Wei Chang is also very captivating, I’ve never seen any airline owns can fly a plane. His career is also legendary lmao. Indeed, EVA airways and China Airline are both competitive. I still believe this new brand can be the proud of Taiwan. -written by a commentator from Taiwan.

Beautiful airline and a nice factory fresh A350. Taiwan is full of so many surprises: Giant Bicycles who makes the worlds best bikes. And Evergreen Aviation Technologies who were involved in most of the heavy engineering to convert 4 ex airline Boeing 747-400 into 4 Dreamlifters Taiwan looks like a nice place to go and visit.

​@@SamChui Like Mr Chang I also started in aircraft maintenance. In December 2019 I had the pleasure of being on the last Qantas Boeing 747 out of San Francisco. Spent some time talking with the Steward who told the Captain that I had made the trip all the way from Perth just to be on the flight. As it turned out the Captain was also from Perth, and as it also turned out we had both been to the Kent Street High School Aeronautics program in Perth way back in the 1980'S (but a few years apart). On the strength of that he invited me to the flight deck after we arrived in Sydney. Mr Malcolm Yeo our wonderful teacher who started the Aeronautics program at Kent Street High School unfortunately passed away late last year. Its very nice to see that his students are still out and about and flying all over the world.

And I though that was classy way back then. The A350 crew are fantastic and they presented everything which such class and poise. To have the Starlux CEO himself pilot you to L.A. is mindboggling and impressive to no end! Also, I didn't even know that there was such a thing as Taiwanese caviar. Amazing. One thing I really appreciated this time was your conversation in Mandarin. I hope after nearly 40 years of study, mine can eventually be as good as yours!

Having a chairman who not only was a pilot but still can and does do it, and seemingly started at the bottom in maintenance and worked up, sounds like a really strong basis for a company and the understanding of the fundamentals of an airline. Some airlines boards and CEO's you wonder if they have ever actually been on their own planes before. Never heard of Starlux before but hope it goes well for them and they do great things and I get to try them.

Sam, first of all let me start off by saying that you are definitely my favourite Avgeek. Your politeness, kindness and respect for people do not leave anyone indifferent, indeed you have nice way of breaking the ice, yet your seriousness at work is always spot-on and beneficial for all concerned. Then in this report you covered a superb airline, the blend of cabin colours, the décor, the ambiance, the food, the crew, .... everything is truly awesome. Be it first class or economy, Starlux is a clear example to follow. I would readily forgive the few glitches that happened, indeed such things do happen but hey, who would complain in view of the excellence that surrounds you? Then it's Taiwan, a beautiful country and a beautiful people whom I have a very soft spot for. Then those beautiful Rolls Royce engines, simply an awesome sight and sounds. I cannot agree more with you, when a flight is as excellent, then no matter how long it may be, one will always wish that it was a little bit longer. This particular video is one I enjoyed so much that I actually watched it twice. I tip my hat to Taiwan, to Starlux and the fantastic crew for a great job, bravo, my respects and admiration to them all, and to you of course, bravo !!

Sam, glad to hear at 15:15 that you asked Mr. Chang about future routes. I think it's smart to have Dallas after LA, San Francisco and Seattle. We in Texas seek direct flights to Taipei, and constantly fight over EVA IAH-TPE. Happy to hear there's another possible option from Dallas!

So many good things about this video Sam. Brings back memories of flying in and out of Taipei. I love the way the ground crew wave, as the plane taxis off. Starlux definitely has some amazing crew and a wonderful product. The cabin crew spoke of practice and the Capt/Chairman also spoke about practice. Very inspirational attitude. I can't wait to fly with them. 👍
