Never seen an amenity kit in economy. Hopefully this airline will have flights to and from the East Coast of the US soon. Definitely want to try this airline because of the way the owner was kicked out of EVA Air by his family after his father who was the Chairman of EVA died.
@@holistictrish the owner of Starlux was the son of the second wife to the chairman of EVA and was the CEO I believe. The company was willed to him to take over, but the Chairman’s children from the first wife fought it and won, so they kicked the CEO out, who took a lot of employees with him, especially the FA’s. I think this is the main reason he was successful and why the crews do as well as they do. Don’t know if I would fly a Korean based airlines. Heard too many negatives.
how was your flight coming home? how long was your layover to get to the next terminal. I have a 1 hour layover, but I’m scared of missing the connecting flight.
Enjoyed your video. It would be great to have advanced seat selection before finalizing payment, not 48 hours before flight. (The metal utensils are a deal-breaker.)
Thanks for the economy review,. We just booked this flight blind without knowing anything about this airline. Good to know it actually looks pretty good. Thanks for putting our worries about being some really terrible airline to rest. it actually looks very good except maybe the legroom.
my pleasure! hope you enjoy the flight. the leg room is pretty standard. I'm 5'6" with shoes on and it was find for me, my bf is on the bigger side 5"10 200lbs and he was ok with it
@@holistictrish Thanks because "average" is only a word. Since I am 5'8' I know now I will not be suffering leg problems on a 12 hour flight. BTW I am a creator myself. We will be taking the newest Starlux route SEA-TAI-(CLK)🏝🏝 mid September. I will be sure to livestream the experience.
oh yeah thanks asking! I forgot mention that with basic economy, you don't have the option to choose your seat :( we just politely asked one of our neighbors next to us if they'd be willing to switch with us, which they thankfully did
@@holistictrish thanks 🙏🏻 , I decide to pay a bit extra to sit at row 35-40 range, because I will be traveling with my elderly mom. I saw other videos on 50+row at the back, it was quite noisy and chaotic. 😅😅
I've heard their planes aren't typically full. Did you pre-select your seats or did you risk it and select them at check-in? I am contemplating on paying for seating now so my wife and I can sit next to each other.
hmm it may depend on location. we went to Taiwan and the plane looked pretty full. We didn't pay the premium to select seats. I would recommend that if you want guaranteed seating with your wife, otherwise it's a 50/50 chance either you or your wife can ask the person next to them if they are okay to move!
nice video! Do you think you'd fly with Starlux from the US to Taiwan again? Debating between Starlux and United, but never heard of STarlux until I've checked flight options from the US to Taiwan
That is a great question. I can’t remember how much of that I used. I think I recall it not being that great since we made the most from the movies available. I just searched on Reddit and people also said it was nonexistent.
economy seats is sure small just for small individuals < i was in one but i paid seats and have choice were to sits and got lucky that third seats are empty !!!!
Thank you for doing economy videos. Most people do first class and it’s out of touch with the majority of people.
I agree! I saw too many videos that didn't resonate to the type of flight experience I was taking which motivated me to create one
Hello, thank you for this video. which economy class were you on? Saving, Basic or Full?
i flew from LAX to Taipe recently using Starlux.. loved it. highly recommended
Yay! I’m glad
Im flying with them next week, been seeing a lot of good reviews..super excited!
Just learned about Starlux. Sounds good so far. Thanks for your video!

omg I did not know that :( let me know how you like it when you do! I know Asiana has amenity kits as well

How were the seats?

I agree! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
is the airline strict if you are 1-3kg over. how would you rate the flight from one to ten
Good morning happy Friday morning and happy holidays and im glad you enjoyed in Taipei and hope you stayed safe

hihi, any advice for seat selection? thanks

was the meal included in the airfare or need to purchase separately?
the meal was included!
Hi! Did you book Standard Seats or Forward Seats? :)
I didn't book any seats! I was being frugal and hoped for the best day of
nice video! Do you think you'd fly with Starlux from the US to Taiwan again? Debating between Starlux and United, but never heard of STarlux until I've checked flight options from the US to Taiwan
Thanks! I would definitely fly with Starlux again over United unless there's a significant price difference ! It's super worth :)
@@holistictrish thank you so much! :)
Did you select seat when you check in? Did you pay $? Thanks.
I didn't! I actually forgot that I'd have to pay more. Luckily the person next to me was open to switching with me bf so we could sit together
@@holistictrishthanks
How was the wifi service on the plane??
That is a great question. I can’t remember how much of that I used. I think I recall it not being that great since we made the most from the movies available. I just searched on Reddit and people also said it was nonexistent.
Anything about service to Bali?
not that I'm aware of :( if there is though, I'm almost sure it'll be worth it
Nice background music! Songs name? Cant wait to fly w Starlux in September to Bangkok!
excited for you! the song name is Come Home from TH-cam Studio library!
Thanks for the video. Looks like a good value. I take China always, so no chance to try Starlux because I need to maintain my gold card status.
Ooh that’s always tough. Hopefully you get an opportunity to experience it at least once!
Im about to go to vietnam too, might take this route.
you definitely should!
any snacks in between?
I don’t believe so!
I prefer Starlux than any other airlines .. clean , meals are great and friendly staff . Wide screen tv too !
yesss! so clean, friendly, and decent meals for sure! I'll definitely use this airline every chance I get
economy seats is sure small just for small individuals < i was in one but i paid seats and have choice were to sits and got lucky that third seats are empty !!!!
Starlux is too new , Eva is way better for long distance.
Not for me. 😢
wooooooooooooooooow
haha these some low income chicomms...brought leftover fish on the fligh hahahaha
