    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. 😂

    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..

    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!

    • @LetsGetToThePoints
      @LetsGetToThePoints  3 месяца назад +1

      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!

      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.

    How far in advance can you select seats on Starlux? My trip isn’t until end of this year.

    • @LetsGetToThePoints

      We're seeing some Starlux availability through the end of Feb 2025. You can search on seats.aero and the Alaska Airlines website.

    @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!)

    • @LetsGetToThePoints

    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!
