[@GardenStateAviation]

At 16:15 you say that Starlux is the only airline that you know of that features dimmable windows... When I flew Air France A350 from Paris CDG to Newark in September, they had dimmable windows on their A350-900 registered F-HUVF. Just a little factoid :)

[@adrian.y8563]

So some context between Starlux and EVA air. Starlux's founder is the illegitimate son of the original CEO of Evergreen (aka EVA air). He had a portion of his old man's heritage and this made the current CEO, which is the legitimate son, a bit jealous. So after being screwed up in all sorts of ways, he was fed up and used all of his portion of heritage to establish Starlux with the ambition of telling his brother that he didn't need to rely on them to succeed. Once in an interview, he said "Many people think that I only get to do what I do because I have papa's huge sum of gold... And they are absolutely right." in a confident way. He built the 3rd largest airline in Taiwan because he wanted to give his brother the biggest slap in the face in the world.

I flew few times on starlux already and I will put them on par with Singapore airline! The best part is the service from FA, very different from other Taiwanese airlines.

[@badboyblue9675]

@@adrian.y8563 well I think he’s his fathers favorites that’s why he was supposed to be chairman of the whole group per his will and he was for a few weeks until I heard he was piloting a flight to Singapore when the family held a meeting and voted him out and he had to deadhead back lol He was so mad he started Starlux in revenge But the family may work it out later and Starlux could become a sub airline of EVA if the family allows him to chair EVA air And they should because he knows how to run an airline He ran EVA very well for years

[@尤品敦]

Addition to the fact: The founder of Starlux himself is also a pilot, he occasionally flies some flights to keep his license valid.

[@voey118]

The Chairman of Starlux Airlines was originally the Chairman of EVA Air. After a dispute over inheritance and being betrayed by his brothers, he left and founded Starlux Airlines. What I find most impressive is that the Chairman of Starlux Airlines started from the very bottom in EVA Air, learning every role from ground staff and maintenance personnel to eventually becoming a pilot. His experience as a pilot is also one of the biggest surprises of Starlux Airlines. There's a good chance you might end up on a flight piloted by the Chairman himself. He is truly an admirable person with great dreams.

It's more difficult to vlog about economy class because of all the people they try to frame out and the very limited space they'll have to set up their shots of themselves and their seat. Plus there's not as much uniqueness to explain short of bringing things like measuring tapes and pressure gauges to find the minute technical differences in the hard product. People are already annoyed enough about crying babies and reclined seats. Imagine now the guy next to you randomly thinking out loud about the flight into a microphone, because commentary softer than at normal conversation volume negatively affects the review for the video they're trying to make.

Flew Macau to Taipei and back in Jan 2020, when Starlux first began operations and when Covid first hit. There were roughly 20 passengers on the flight, it was heartbreaking. So glad to see the airline survived the pandemic and expanding now.

"For humans time is not just spent, it is felt." Really appreciate the way your review becomes objective, insightful and rhetorical all at once. Some "other" comments for JX here: With little doubt Starlux is one of the best in Asia and beyond, which fact doesn't mean they are flawless. Earlier this year I had the opportunity to fly on their inaugural service to Seattle, and the experience was...mixed, to say the least. The hardware and the meal was as fantastic as in this review, but I found two weird aspects of their economy service (also valid for a previous trip with them to LAX): 1) on the long-hauls they only serve the standard two meals, with little to nothing in between; and I believe it shouldn't be asking too much for a top carrier to provide some snacks or at least beverages between those. And 2) In a fully booked economy situation, It seem to take JX a long while to serve everyone food. It became especially chaotic and confusing when about 50% of the cabin have their meal pre-ordered, the cabin crew walking back and forth holding individual trays trying to have those served first, and with the trolley also already on the aisle. All customers got served in a slightly random order in this case. For me on the SEA inaugural flight, I waited two full hours after the dinner service started to receive my pre-ordered meal. It was still very good, but I certainly learnt the lesson that even the best carriers cannot always prevent some kind of dramatic scenarios from happening :)

[@SCHANG-fp1xv]

All of their long haul flights departs around midnight so they may be thinking about just providing snacks on requests. For me as a passenger, I literally just slept through the flights and got up just right for breakfast so never felt that I missed something. But it can be definitely different for other pax. While some of their crews have extensive experience in other airlines (SQ/CX), many are newly hired and their training is not known to be solid. I think they may need invest more time to really focus on crew training, especially when they're expanding at an even faster speed.

[@蔡孟衡-n7q]

Well… your opinion is spot on. I flew JX abt five times now, and BR and CI countless more, the thing i could say JX is lacking thereof is consistency. Their service procedures are NOT fine tuned as the established two, partially bcz their cabin crews are more young and immature in… basically what to do. Regarding JX trying v much to impress can sometimes turned out to be a mess… eg. their cocktail campaign. Also the wifi is down 3/5 times, that never happened to BR, which cannot be understated since how important connection is these days…

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

21:30 “Time isn’t just measured, it’s felt”. Couldn’t agree more. Great review! ✌️

[@kiraasuka9943]

Hi Simple Aviation, I hope you can review the flight attendant a bit. I feel the biggest difference is the starlux FAs. The attitude, the service, and how they arrange your trip is truly dedicated to your preference at the beginning. I knew Japan airlines do the same BUT you need to ask! Starlux tells you what you can do at boarding and you can ask beyond that! I’m truly impressed by the training those FAs received. Kudos to Starlux and I will fly them again when I get chance!

[@OneJuanWon]

This is a very comprehensive review. I've flown on EVA multiple times for long haul flights from west coast USA to Taipei, but now I think I should give Starlux a try.

[@nathansmith7144]

Starlux brings back a touch of sophistication or 'glam' to flying. It's something we don't see too much of nowadays. It's a testament to Asian passengers' discipline that the extra leg room seats are not being occupied when empty. If this was a Western airline, the seats would have been taken without asking and would have led to confrontation when asked to move.

[@Moonstone-Redux]

Not passenger discipline, at least not on the part of the passenger. Cabin crew being on point and not shy to schwack a miscreant.

[@Lin-bw1ic]

[@Zaylaci-x3k]

[@jvstcu76]

Thanks for finally getting to review Starlux. As usual, your objectivity is most appreciated. As an old timer who fondly remembers the "golden age" of commercial aviation, (when flying was an experience of comfort, good meals and friendly attentive service from flight attendants who actually liked their jobs) Starlux brings those days back to me. Yes, they are more expensive but to me, a comfortable flight with great service is worth paying extra for instead of saving some money and flying in "sardine class" with a "dog food in the sky" menu that you have to pay extra for. I hope that they continue to succeed in today's tough market. I will remain a loyal fan of theirs.

[@MR-kf8xt]

As someone who frequently fly between California and Taiwan I can’t express how much I love Starlux The economy class is pretty affordable and nice quality. Usually my options are United Airlines (budget but not quality) and Eva Air( the other way around) Their aircraft is new, the seat is comfy, the meal is nice and I love the branding (as a graphic designer lol) There’s so much details that make you think they really want to elevate your flight experience The only thing I want to complain on is them designing the headset plug under the screen, and they don’t let you use it during departing and landing.

[@ralphlong8371]

I have flown with them many times between Taoyuan and Manila or Cebu. One of the best if not the best airlines I have flown on. My best experience was just after the pandemic was over, I flew from Taoyuan to Manila and we were only 12 people on the flight and because of Covid stuff they spread us out all over the plane. It was awesome and the service was outstanding. I don't think they are expensive, they are cheaper than their two Taiwanese rivals with great service and their flights are always on time.

Starlux truly lives up to the hype, and it’s amazing to see them getting the recognition they deserve. Thanks for bringing this much-anticipated review to life!

[@Kunfucious577]

My best plane experience I’ve had was on Eva. I was flying business class and fell a sleep sitting upright because the flight hadn’t taken off yet. When I woke up a few hours later, I was tucked in lying flat. Once I was up, an attendant offered me something to eat within 5 minutes. Every attendant is extremely polite and attentive. They really make you feel welcome.

One good thing is for economy class on Starlux ..one can pre book meals! For SQ only available for premium pax thru book the cook!

I first flew starlux in december 2023 and since then it has been my favourite airline by a wide margin, which says a lot seeing as singapore airlines is literally my home carrier. The dimmable windows are the best for when you wish to take a look outside at the wing but not get blinded by the 10am sun. Flying out of TPE also provided one of the best in flight catering I have ever had. Would highly recommend for anyone travelling to Taiwan or transiting between the west coast of the states and asia

[@jtjx1354]

I have also tried their premium economy class(as it was a mere 150 more one way) on my return leg from TPE-SIN and the seats were so comfy. For the economy class screens that were already huge, the premium economy screens were at least 50% larger and the noise cancelling headphones were some of the best one can get in premium economy

[@tsgu8728]

Singapore Airlines is so expensive now and they love to charge Singaporeans high prices to subsidise foreigners coming in. I gave up on them 12 years ago. I flew Starlux to LA, biz class.... much much better and cost effective than SQ. Starlux and Finnair 👌🏻

I flew on Starlux at August last year from Hong Kong to Taipei . Honestly it's relative price comparing to other airlines is ultimate. Except all low-cost airlines, Starlux had the cheapest round trip tickets between HK and Taipei. Even during the summer holiday period, other big airlines like CX ,HX, BR or CI needs around at least 3000 HKD but Starlux only needs less than 2000 . and with their superior quality of services. It's absolutely worth to fly with them

[@JohnXFactorTWN]

At 4:30 there was a mention of Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 as departure and arrival halls of the Taoyuan airport. that is not the case, Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 are actually two separate terminals, each with their own Arrival and Departure Halls. Terminal 2 a newer terminal which handles more long haul international routes and Terminal 1 is the older Terminal which handles shorter flights. There is another new terminal three being built, and a new bigger longer runway that can handle the likes of the A380 with ease. Just sharing info 😊

Great and honest video. Thanks! I almost flew that airline from KIX to LAX via Taipei. I ended up flying China Airlines to Ontario instead, due to my dad’s limited eyesight in the evening. I didn’t regret it. The food and inflight was very good, and Ontario was everything that LAX was not. Ontario was simple, to the point and fast. No messing around with that airport. The drawback with Ontario was the lack of shopping and eating facilities, but so what. Airport food and shopping is already expensive and I’m Okay without it. Not to mention, Ontario’s international arrivals terminal parking was free. So, in the end, the switch of airlines was worth it.

[@Marina-vd5vm]

As a German I can't help but cackle at the "reliable airport train". Standing for an hour is also pretty much the norm here, as trains are usually crowded when they finally do show up, as most likely 5 others have already been cancelled for no apparent reason. Whenever I travel I feel like every country does it so much better than us.

[@Nobi36]

Heya, are y'all planning to do a review on the upcoming inaugural of Air France's a350 flights to Manila.

[@MM-rr7kl]

The small difference can be attributed to the fact that Starux is new and has a small fleet compared to its rivals. Once you scale, the differentiators will dimish as the focus will be on profit generation. Any new airline will have a wow impact. The real test will come once they scale and cost measures take into account.

Amazing video as always, and that looked like an amazing flight! I know that you have a CX A321neo review coming soon, but one thing I would like to recommend is a CX A350-1000 economy class review. The seat comfort is probably the best of any economy seat out there, the entertainment system is also one of the best, if not the best, and the food is also pretty good. Ideally, a long-haul flight would be the best way to judge this product, but I think you should just try it to see how much CX has recovered, and then gone beyond what it was pre-covid.
