STARLUX | The Most Futuristic Business Class Ever Made?

[@dominicsalazar2942]

flew economy on starlux from lax to taipei and then to bangkok and had a great experience. probably the best flight experience I have had in economy.

[@Canuck352004]

Another fun fact! Starlux is started by Eva Airline founder's son after he got kicked out by the board of directors and his siblings

[@raymondleongdiva]

I def agree with you . Being a local from sgp and flying pretty often not always business class I will say I tried starlux 3 times from sgp to Taipei but only in economy class I am always blown away by her service and product. Will try their business to SFO when I get my next chance... Merry Christmas by the way and stay safe ❤❤❤❤

[@jjjddd231]

I'm very impressed with that business class service. Hope they may expand into Australia in the near future.

[@wow2k6]

Looks great, both hard and soft product are top notch. Have them on my list to fly now for sure!

[@_Ricky]

You’ll love it!!

[@fluttergrrl]

First the editing is on point. So many travel videos have filler like dragging a bag down an airplane aisle. I never heard of this airline but I was impressed. Even the bathroom looks great. I had to laugh when you had the bubble tea in one hand and champagne in another.

[@HTHH4ever]

We were lucky to experience some business class flights from: Qantas; American Airlines; Cathay Pacific; Japan Airlines, Eva Air and Singapore Airlines. My personal favourite is Eva Air - Service just as good as Singapore Airlines but the seat/bed is more comfortable. Based on your review Starlux business class is my new favourite.

[@tefwgf]

Taiwan Airlines is like home, the service staff are like family, and they are as friendly as Taiwanese people

[@Drew-do9wx]

I love the soothing colors of the cabin

[@huachen1486]

You fly like a billionaire; everywhere you go is in business class flights and in 5 stars hotel stays. When you get bored please let me know. 😊😊

[@alexandor.trippin87]

You think Billionaires fly business class? If they choose to fly commercial, they'd fly first, but usually, they charter private flights.

[@jkjkjk100]

You don’t know how billionaire fly

[@juniorcampbell2980]

Great review. Just flew EVA from JFK and at first glance the seat on Starlux looked like that on EVA,but it turns out it’s way better. EVA hard product is showing its age. The soft product on EVA is still top notch but looks like Starlux has them beat. I’m sure the Chair who formed Starlux took a few EVA secrets with him. Hope they can sustain the airline until it is profitable. Hope to fly Starlux one day

[@Adjacent_2]

just to note: EVA is aware of the age of its 777s, they're moving to new planes but both Boeing and Airbus have a MASSIVE backorder for new planes. Replacing the 777 is extremely difficult because its high capacity for very popular routes is hard to match. For example, not only would a brand new 787 be expensive, but it has fewer seats, which further reduces profit recovery. It'll just take them some time to update

[@yo2trader539]

A few secrets? Wasn't he in charge of EVA forever. He's the one who signed up with Hello Kitty. It's still the founding family's internal conflict. The two will likely merge at one point, I suspect.

What a wonderful airline. Starlux Airlines hands down !!.

[@mr.noname4413]

Starlux is slowly growing into top 10 airlines in the world

[@uhhhwhat918]

Starlux, one of the sons of the EVA Air founder, probably inspired to follow his father? Really excited to try Starlux soon.

[@tefwgf]

他的兒子張國煒，星宇航空創辦人，唯一航空公司老闆會修飛機開飛機從基層做起來，所以飛機大大小小的問題他的懂！他因為爸爸過世不想跟其他哥哥吵財產，也被家人趕出長榮，後來休息一陣子，他還是想要開飛機，所以自己開了一家，很多基層人員跟著他一起創立星宇，可以去看他幾個廣告有些字是感謝他爸爸的

[@keiming2277]

His father founded the whole thing on Cargo ships and still one of the giants in marine shipping

[@chavandposh]

However I would say that Starlux seems to be a boutique design version of Eva Airline. both in skies are mutually great however Eva's green colour design are eyesore.

[@rallyjira3400]

Thank you for this video! I have been considering flying STARLUX business on my next trip to Asia

[@EpicThe112]

They just need an airline alliance to join. Remember, the founder of the airline actually had Eva Air on Star Alliance back in 2013. That way, Eva Air Passengers have access to Air Canada and United Airlines lounges across the Pacific. They can try joining the Japanese Australians and Hong Kongers Oneworld Alliance. This airline should get a 5 star Skytrax rating seen on neighbouring countries Hong Kong South Korea Japan Singapore and Indonesia alongside local rival Eva Air Taiwanese and Hong Kong Netizens simply call it Evergreen

[@MrTann2010]

Pretty unlikely, I think. They now have a partnership with Alaska airlines, which is as good as they can hope for at the moment. Starlux would not join Star Alliance because Eva is there, and the owner fell out on bad terms with Eva. Joining Oneworld is also a no, because Cathay would most likely veto them due to competition. They already vetoed China Southern. Skyteam is also a no because China Airlines is there, so Starlux finds itself in a precarious situation.

[@keiming2277]

@@MrTann2010 "Starlux would not join Star Alliance because Eva is there" STARLUX boss own about 9% of the EVA Air, probably they won't stop them joining the alliance

[@omi._.jalalo]

You also get complimentary wifi in economy but I believe it's just free unlimited texting

[@miyashitakazuya]

Yes, complimentary texting only. The wifi requires payment. I originally bought the premium economy and it mentioned that wifi at a cost. Then I ended up changing my flight to business class.

[@kalasend]

@2:03 this is what I'd call "ball-scratching-safe level of privacy"

[@LeviLin21]

Wow! Really strong business class offering. And a beautiful cabin as well. And pajamas in business class is becoming rarer and rarer these days! Also, HOW are you not 300 lbs eating all that food and boba?!?! 😂

[@oblongmusic3389]

I’m a fan of EVA Air . They offer great products at competitive prices.. or they used to , pre pandemic.. I don’t know how their prices are post pandemic . I also don’t know how Starlux prices compare to EVA’s rates ? Their business product seems beyond good .. but err .. no flagship lounge at their home base.. are there plans to open one up in 2024 ? They must be saving a great deal of money by not having a business lounge to the same impressive standard as their A350 business cabin .. just saying.. thanks for a cool review .. 🙏

[@keiming2277]

Not major lounge update until the new T3 Terminal completed

[@roberttseng]

I saw the same flight attendant on my way back to LAX. It's still a small company right now.

[@kevinkunzmann8782]

Ricky, all your videos are good ones!! That amenity kit is really cool. Your food looks fantastic! You don’t like mushrooms, I don’t like duck!! I like the jammies, colour and all! The bed looks great. Breakfast looks tasty. I like how you compliment the crew for a job well done! Can’t believe how much tea you drank, surprised you didn’t float off the plane!

[@yangchan8002]

I think the CEO used to run the Eva Air but the old chairman die and he willed the CEO to him but the problem was he is not the first born son and his mother is the first wife his father has few wives and he has lots brothers and sisters all by different wives 😅 and they were jealous of him for getting the CEO for Eva Air, and one day he was out on a business trip Eva Air had a emergency board meeting and fire him from Eva Air he is a guy started from the engine maintenance department and worked his way up to the CEO position and he has a pilot license and can fly the Jets ❤ I think the first Airbus 350 for the Star lux he flew It back to Taiwan from Europe my wife have plans to fly to Taipei so she is looking at Star lux and since it's New we don't know much about it and she can't decide what class ticket to buy your video should help her make up her mind,tea is really that good and she loves it too 😅 thank you for doing the video ❤

[@_Ricky]

Why thank you!

[@OhHeyItsShan]

Just some friendly advice on improving your videos. 1. Ditch the camera stand/tripod and use a gimbal instead. The shakiness is very noticeable in many clips. Its probably easier than trying to fix the shake in post. 2. If you're going to make the food a big focus, then try to show the full menu at the beginning before the food arrrives. It's always nice to see what kind of options they offer and not just what you wanted to get. A lot of people have certain preferences so it's nice to see what they offer overall. Also hold the camera over the food for a while just so we can see everything being served. 4:05 Try to keep the area tidy. Messy wires, loose paper etc is a distraction. I know you like to do this fast paced cut cut cut style, but a bit of slowing down to take it all in doesn't hurt. How about some slow-mo when panning? Starlux is definitely the airline to beat. As you say, they have made it quite clear they want the top spot and given what you and other reviewers have said, they look to be taking the top spot soon. You're a new suggestion in my feed after the other 18 flight reviewers I follow, so will be interesting to see your future videos!

[@PabloMartinez-zw9ed]

looks like an amazing product, do they have first class ? would love to see it

[@JamesAidan-s7o]

Lovely video. Beautifully presented, and that is such a great product. As soon as it joins One World, I'll be using it. Thank God they use Airbus as I won't fly Boeing.

Customer service terrible english is not good, i know.... but telling me I cant make my flight cause the connection is late (there flight) so my new flight the next day will be at 2030 when they mean 1230 is a problem.... customer no service only available 930 am to 530 pm..

Not enough time to read the fun fact

[@openbabel]

why cant American or European airlines be like this ? We dont fly American airlines because.. They have Boeing disaster aircraft Maintenance seems lacks Treatment of th blind and severely disabled traveler. Seat sizes have shrunk to the point that they are not big enough to evacuate or hold the average over sized American All airlines need to charge passengers by gross weight to stop light passengers subsidizing over weight travelers who cant even fit into ONE seat! This seems harsh....but to keep prices down weight to fuel burn is ultimately which determines the ticket price.

Doesn't Eva own starlux? like the CEO/founder of starlux was the heir to Eva that got ousted and then the "prince" came back to rule again?

Former EVA Chairman started Starlux and still owns EVA shares, but EVA does not own Starlux. I’d think of it as the younger sibling trying to upset the establishment he helped grow, literally and figuratively.
