Taiwan-based Starlux Airlines launched operations in early 2020, and has been growing rapidly ever since. While the carrier has an extensive intra-Asia route network, long haul service has been centered exclusively around North America, up until now.
So there’s an interesting update, as the airline has just announced its first destination in Europe, and it’s not necessarily the city you’d expect…
In this post:
JX101 Taipei to Prague departing 12:10AM arriving 7:50AM
JX102 Prague to Taipei departing 10:20AM arriving 5:10AM (+1 dayg)
The 5,611-mile route is blocked at 13hr40min westbound and 12hr50min eastbound. The flight will initially operate 3x weekly (on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, in both directions), prior to increasing to 4x weekly as of October 1, 2026 (with added service on Mondays).
This route will be operated by an Airbus A350-900. That plane is equipped with 306 seats, including four first class seats, 26 business class seats, 36 premium economy seats, and 240 economy seats. I’ve reviewed Starlux’s excellent A350 business class.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
