So it will be almost 5 daily but short of 4 weekly flights.
It's going to be difficult to fetch any premium passengers off BR and CI as they are not in an alliance. They will likely be able to get passengers if they chase down the price.
Those markets don't work. Most of those markets you listed above relies heavily on transfer markets and Starlux does not have that network. The only one that may work are SAN/SJC but then they might as well just serve LAX/ONT/SFO. SAN is only 2.5 hours away from LAX and if you leave San Diego at 7pm you will likely arrive LAX at latest 10pm (if you hit traffic), right on time for the midnight flights with many options. Maybe they can consider ONT/SAN/SJC once they get their first flight on LAX/SFO, but SJC still has the curfew problem where midnight flights are impossible to operate efficiently.

Bay area traffic is now at its worse since I can remember. It’s far worse than dot.com boom era. [Omni political comment removed by moderator.]
I used to leave work around 6pm and go to Burlingame area to grab some dinner before heading to airport. Now I just wait until after 9 so I don’t have to be stuck in traffic and it would still take me close to 1.5 hours to SFO.
If anyone offer flight from SJC to TPE I will jump ship immediately.
