Review: Starlux Business Class

The food looks absolutely sublime. But talk about unfortunate timing for a new airline given the coronavirus issue. But airlines, which are ultimately the worlds most complex business models given the incredible algorithms that govern their running, are susceptible to anything and everything tipping their finances from black to red in an instant.

Ben, appreciate that you reviewed this airline airline so early in operation - cant wait to try them as well.

@Lucky Did you have a female captain on the way back?

In case anyone is wondering how the experience in economy is, here is a TR from Macau to Taipei.

It's good to see a new airline providing a quality product and service.
Woohoo go Starlux!

Have they announced any A350 routes yet?

One hour to turn around an A321 is hardly an issue. EK does 75 min turn arounds for a 77W in stations like MAA. And based on my experience, it works fine.

Is there a reason why they have no row 1 on the plane? Great trip report as always!

@VJ
SIA schedules 50 min turns for 777s in Jakarta. And most of the time, they're on schedule.

I know JL and NH do that too with their domestic flights

An hour to turn an A321 is plenty of time.

I must say, the menu on Starlux out of PEN looked way more Malaysian than even Malaysia Airlines!

That's some world class catering.

Taiwanese excellence.

That satay, rojak and laksa looked INCREDIBLE for airline food (this coming from a local Malaysian...)

Nice review.
Couldn't agree more. Inflight meal are better than Malaysia Airlines. The Laksa look incredibly delicious not to mentioned the Satay.
Evwryone is waiting for their A350 Business class product.

that food looked so good! Asian cuisine is my favorite and i think all airlines should have an option for this cuisine!
