Starlux (Msia- Taipei) Review!
Hey guys!
So I chose to fly with Starlux to Taipei Taoyuan this round since I've heard of so many good reviews.
Let's start with me trying to access the lounge in KLIA.
I wasn't aware that my card do not give me the access to the Traveller's lounge after the KLIA bus ride to the boarding gate area. So after frantically searching on my phone for another alternative lounge to access after the bus ride, I finally spotted this place...
The Flight Club..
At first I thought to myself, hmmm, there is barely any traveler dining here, there was just one couple and a lone Caucasian there. Food must be not as good as the plaza premium lounge before the bus ride.
To my amaze, they actually serve full main dishes here! Check it out:
They even serve big breakfast when it was 3pm.
I have to admit the menu is limited but it's sufficient because I just needed a place to sit and wait for my flight. So I ordered a salmon croissant and cappuccino latte:
While I was waiting, another couple came into the lounge and ordered one set of big breakfast, a bowl of dried scallop porridge, beer and other unlimited amount of drinks! By the way, the waiter mentioned that I can order unlimited food and drinks here! OMG. But yeah, how much can one eat right..
view from where I was seated..
OK, next up! The flight!
Finally boarded the plane.
That's another "extra legroom" seat at the EXIT. Spacious, huh?
So, I booked the seat next to the exit just so I get my "extra legroom" requirement checked.
For those of you who know me, I really cannot bear the cramp and narrow space on board since i have claustrophobia ( I think).
Sleek and nice upholstery
They serve mocktails too, this is one of the two mocktail flavour to choose from!
This was named twilight mojito, and it's made up of.. orange, rum, and green tea.
Twas quite refreshing but the rum was overpowering for me, but that's just me lah.
They say this is the better tasting one compared to the blue coloured mocktail.

These sesame rice crackers were served together with the welcome drink.
I chose beef brisket+ mash. Tasted really good.
But no ice cream.
Then it was light out and galaxy starwars feel for snoozing before.
All in all, I think starlux is good now because it is a NEW airline with really sharp, large and touch-sensitive entertainment screen, and appetising food. One thing I appreciate was the free wi-fi connectivity on board throughout the flight for whatsapp texting (only). Service-wise, the cabin crew were generally very courteous and friendly but the only drawback was the flight attendant noted down that I requested for an eye-mask but forgotten to give one to me, and I had to request a second time before they handed one to me.
If you ask me whether I'd travel STarlux again for the KL-TPE route, it'd be yes because everything is satisfactory and there's no major issue so far. So, choose to travel Starlux if you haven't while the airline is still NEW!
See ya in my next TPE post! Till then, have fun and take care!
