Hi LGTTP team, been listening to your podcast every Friday and enjoyed them! Question on booking Starlux flight. How do you book more than 1 seat with Alaska miles? I thought they release just 1 business seat to Alaska. Thanks!
Hi! Thanks for listening! When we first booked Starlux last summer, availability was widespread with multiple seats. Nowadays we are seeing just 1 biz seat released for each date. As you get closer in on the flight date, sometimes more seats open up. We recommend setting an alert on seats.aero to notify you when more seats become available. We hope there will be future award dumps with multiple seats available in the future!
Great video - just discovered this channel and you guys are a lot of fun! I wish I was traveling with you guys haha. You guys quickly mentioned the blanket on Starlux - can you keep it? 🤭
Got Oman for Jan next year. And adding Palau in the to-do list lol. Starlux for Japan trip in Dec, thanks for the review, Serena and Miguel. And note to myself, not to book GH Taipei for my overnight in Taiwan.
You’re going to have a great time on Starlux, Gene! Reserve your seat and meal ahead of time! We can’t wait for Park Hyatt and Andaz to open in Taipei. Too many 👻 at GH Taipei. 😂
Flying Starlux later this year for a return flight from Taipei to Okinawa on cash since I don’t have a way to accumulate Alaska miles 😢… Another great video
You can apply the credit card with Alaska credit card which can give you 60K-70K miles. Purchase their milage with up to 60% . This is a quick way to get the milage easily.
@@agnespooh1970This is so true! Card bonuses and purchasing miles are great options. Miguel had to buy miles for his Starlux booking. He discussed this in Episode 13.
Great review LGTTP team! Thank you, Serena, for the alert on Starlux availability. About the mid-flight meal, I had a similar response from the FA who let me know breakfast was happening soon when I ordered it. I just said I wanted to try it plus the breakfast! Haha. Miguel, just came from Madagascar. It was roughing it out, but was fantastic nonetheless! I'd like to fly to visit Zermatt, Palau, and Oman soon, too! I am back in Taipei in a few days and I'm gonna try to check out Chun Shiu Tang for boba as my flight from SFO-TPE did not have boba service. Looks delicious!!
Exciting New Life experiences are always worth it. Starlux is an exciting, sincerely happy airline to fly with. By mid-2024 they'll be flying non-stop to Asia from Denver, complimenting their non-stop flights from Los Angeles..
Thanks for the helpful review on Starlax! The door, PJs, and blanket is appealing but the service and food doesn’t seem that great. That lavatory right next to the business seat… like 😮 @Miguel, were there any kid toys for your younger girls? That always makes Monkey happier when she gets something. She got something for China Airlines, Eva Airways, and Korean Air (Econ) this recent trip.
It's still a great way to cross the Pacific to and from Asia. No gifts for Miguel's kids. But have you been checking out @seat2asuite's IG page? Mitch and Polrit were wined, dined, and showered with a goodie bag! Let's see how their return flight goes to test consistency. Thank you for watching, Monkey Family!
@Serena - I am from Guam and echo everything you said about Palau! A true gem and I've been several times. While you're there, please make a pit stop on Guam and stay at the Hyatt Regency (a category 4 which means you can use a free night certificate!)

The burger on the longest flight form New York to Singapore... The wife and I both thought was mid.
Cause it sounds like you were catered out of New York 😵💫 ??my theory stands, anywhere catered out of the US isn’t going to be the best
Mid!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Not surprised since this flight originated from the US.
How far in advance can you select seats on Starlux? My trip isn’t until end of this year.
We're seeing some Starlux availability through the end of Feb 2025. You can search on seats.aero and the Alaska Airlines website.
I love the show. You guys are fun and interesting and your information is very helpful

We did Zermatt a few years ago as a side trip from Milan. Beautiful scenery! I felt Zermatt was like ‘ a little piece of Heaven!
We all need to add Zermatt to our list!
Hi @ann totally agree! Did you do the 7 lake walk too?!
Great video - just discovered this channel and you guys are a lot of fun! I wish I was traveling with you guys haha.
You guys quickly mentioned the blanket on Starlux - can you keep it? 🤭
Hi! We’re glad you found us!!! The blanket is plushy soft! Officially, no, you can’t keep it. But some of us are resourceful. 😂
Got Oman for Jan next year. And adding Palau in the to-do list lol.

@@LetsGetToThePoints Haven’t been on IG yet, but wow, that sounds like a way different experience!
They loved everything about it!
Hi Monkey, we were wrong! Miguel's girls got a coloring book and an inflatable Starlux plane. We forgot to cover it in the show!
@@LetsGetToThePoints ohhh that’ll make a difference for me! Haha. Okay now I need to get those Alaska miles now 😉
@Serena - I am from Guam and echo everything you said about Palau! A true gem and I've been several times. While you're there, please make a pit stop on Guam and stay at the Hyatt Regency (a category 4 which means you can use a free night certificate!)
Wow! Thanks for your input. We all need to add Palau AND Guam to our list!
Friday morning routine done!!! Thanks for the great video, now, time to look for flights!!! Have a great weekend!!!
Happy weekend and thank you for watching!
