Luxury carrier’s first codeshare enables passengers to book US-Asia travel itineraries on a single ticket
LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Taiwan-based luxury carrier STARLUX Airlines today announced the launch of its codeshare partnership with Alaska Airlines, enhancing its network in North America. The codeshare is STARLUX’s first, and provides a seamless travel experience and flexibility for passengers of both carriers.
