I was the design director who created this user interface!! Scott, your feedback is such a humbling experience for me. One of our many target user groups was frequent business class travelers like yourself, and I cannot express how happy it's made me to know that all of the hard work both myself and my team put into this product made a positive impact on your travel experience. I may not work in IFE anymore, but creating products for innovative airlines like STARLUX has been a highlight of my career. Thank you so much for your review, and for highlighting the difference an IFE system can make!

You’re very welcome Katie! And thank you for putting so much effort into that UI. I truly mean it when I said that it was the best UI of any in-flight entertainment system that I’ve ever tried. Everything about it (the menus, the graphics, the animations, etc) was perfect - and totally on brand with Starlux. Hopefully you and your team will win an award for this. 👍🏻

Last time I told you about our French Bee flight. OF COURSE They do not offer such a high level of service . No lie flat seats. But they are focusing on the meal service in PREMIUM CLASS ONLY!!!! Plus, friend 840,- round trip SFO/LAX- Paris. And then there is the train fare included say Paris to the German border. (coach class though) May be that would fit into your future travel plans. All the best to you and thank you!

It figures I would go on a mad search to find them, and once I do I go to the comments to find that someone already has found them. I read an article that stated the following: "Other amenities available in business class will include a set of toiletries from Thai brand Thann including hand lotion, eau de toilette and a facial mist, noise-cancelling headphones (the right one in the picture above [it is a picture of the headphones on this flight]), eye masks, as well as blankets designed by Designworks of BMW Group, which also designed the cabin interior and seating of the airline’s A321neos." So maybe BMW took some WH-1000 XM4s and slapped a Starlux logo on them and called it a day? The article could have been written better, I admit.

Hold your horses! Sure, Starlux Airlines A350-900 is a very nice way to travel ‘in style’ if you can afford it as with almost any airline. But having just travelled Starlux from Hong-Kong to San Francisco via Taipei on ECONOMY CLASS, I most definitely can and do object to Starlux’ ‘economy seat configuration of 3+3+3 and not even at least a 2+3+2 configuration where at least a couple can or could travel together and by the way, wit such seats configuration at least stewardesses could pass through without one of them having to step backwards all the way to the partition between classes as I witnessed. Being stucked in the middle of a 3-3-3 configuration is terrible when none of the shared armrests can be used because the other two passengers make it impossible! As it may a very good sense speaking of $$$s for Starlux’ owners and shareholders, it is a very and most uncomfortable way to travel when ECONOMY CLASS is the only option. So, can only wish that all airlines had a more mindful and even considered approach to passengers when ECONOMY PLUS or Business and First Class are not attainable by all! Thank you

Still, after all these years, I keep forgetting that China Airlines is Taiwanese. This is a good reminder that I need to fly them again sometime soon. It’s been a while!

When the founder and CEO of an airliner, who is also a multi-certified pilot, and cared enough to personally fly to France to take delivery of almost every single aircraft and fly them back himself, you know you're in good hands!
