Looks like they will soon get the certificate from the MOT/CAA, start selling tickets mid-December and have their first flights on 1/23.

This coming Friday, they will show their inflight amenities and meals.

Looks like their FFP is called Cosmile: https://www.starlux-airlines.com/en-...ersAndBenefits and they will have their own lounge at TPE called Galactic.

I remember BR's logo design was basically "beyond the globe" (that is why the globe on the BR logo is not complete). He definitely wants everything cosmic

Got through on the phone.... booked MFM-TPE in business for $325 USD. Same as EVA or Macau Air! Just make sure if you call in you book the right fare class:

Charge hasn't shown up yet on the credit card so hopefully nothing lost in translation.

Looks like it is on sale now and the inauguration flights to MFM and PEN are sold out: https://udn.com/news/story/7266/4229468

Are they going to sell tickets only on their own website or will use GDS also?

Do you know if they use Amadeus (as in, can the record locator be retrieved at checkmytrip.com)? Really wanted to know which GDS they use. Thanks!

So his true arrogance shines through expecting everyone to be like him . No menus for an ever growing amount of vegetarians.

So why am I the only one who had to call to make a booking? When I search for fares online I get a pop up that still says:

Not yet open, please look forward !

What am I missing?

That FFP is not competitive at all.
