Taiwan-based Starlux Airlines has announced plans to collaborate with American Airlines. However, for the time being, this isn’t a very close level of cooperation.
For context, Starlux currently flies from Taipei (TPE) to Los Angeles (LAX), Ontario (ONT), San Francisco (SFO), and Seattle (SEA), and service to Phoenix (PHX) is launching soon. Specifically, this new interline agreement seems to be in anticipation of that new Phoenix service, since American will be able to provide connectivity for Starlux there.
An interline agreement is the most basic level of cooperation between airlines. Just to give a sense of how basic the cooperation is, American also has an interline agreement with both Delta and United, and they aren’t exactly partners. 😉
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
