Discount of up to 22%

To celebrate the non-stop service to Seattle, China Airlines is offering discounts of up to 22% on round trip air fares.

Dynasty members will receive 2,200 bonus miles per leg for flying on the Taipei-Seattle route before the end of September. A round-trip ticket will double the bonus.

Flights can now be booked through the China Airlines website or app.

6 direct destinations in North America

China Airlines seeks to take advantage of the strong travel demand between Taiwan and the U.S., and the addition of the non-stop service to Seattle represents an important step in the carrier’s expansion of its North American network.

More than 50 million travelers passed through Seattle Airport in 2023, making it the largest airport in the Northwest USA.

China Airlines can also provide interline ticketing to 50 popular inland destination cities, including Portland, Chicago, Boston, Las Vegas, Orlando, and Atlanta. The expansion of the U.S. inland market strengthens the overall air network.

China Airlines has operated in the North American market for more than half a century, and growth has been particularly strong in the post-pandemic period.

The carrier currently flies to five major cities in the U.S. and Canada, including Los Angeles, Ontario (CA), San Francisco, New York, and Vancouver.

In addition, the scheduled non-stop service to Ontario (CA) in particular was the first of its kind from Asia and remains exclusive to China Airlines.

The dual airport-one city configuration also expands the passenger market for China Airlines and provides up to three flights a day to the Greater Los Angeles region.

The Seattle route will expand China Airlines’ North American network to six non-stop destinations. More than 40 return flights to North America each week means even greater convenience for both business travelers and tourists.

Seattle is known both for its economic diversity and for being home to tech start-ups. As one of the largest cities in Washington State and an essential portal for trade in the Pacific Northwest, the city’s business travel market boasts strong development potential.

Thanks to an exceptionally pleasant temperate maritime climate, Seattle is known as the "Emerald City" and is popular with tourists.

Mount Rainier National Park, its landmark Space Needle, and the vibrant local arts and culture scene all contribute to the unique draw of Seattle.
