Starlux A350 Premium Economy Class #JXRunway

Premium Economy is the most profitable cabin for most airlines so its no surprise that a startup would include plenty of photos here. Based on how many photos were taken here, it seems the premium economy cabin was the model’s favorite!

Starlux features 36 premium economy seats on its A350s. They’re in a 2-4-2 configuration with a 40 inch pitch.

The seats feature leg rests and footrest bars. The in-flight entertainment screens in the cabin are 15.5 inches with bluetooth audio connectivity.

Passengers, please be seated. Keep your seat belt fastened and make sure your seat back is in the upright position for JX A350 RUNWAY show.

The seats for the runway show are equipped in Premium Economy Class and were made by the German aircraft seating company RECARO. With 6-way adjustable headrests, passengers can be in their most comfortable position for show-watching. 40” pitch seats and 15.5” IFE screens are made to enhance your visual and tangible experience. With a 2-4-2 configuration, passengers and models can quickly exit without disturbing others.

Starlux A350 Economy Class #JXRunway

There’s not a ton to say about economy, but kudos to the Starlux social media team for coming up with something. 😉

There are 240 economy seats in a 3-3-3 configuration. The screens in economy are 13 inches and they have bluetooth audio connectivity.

Let’s [take a] sneak peek at the backstage of the JX A350 RUNWAY show, where models relax and rest before the show. Thanks to the extra legroom space with the 6-way adjustable headrest in each economy seat, models can warm up and stretch their bodies. Each seat provides a tablet and cup holder for the show director and models to free their hands and focus on preparing for the show. With a 13.3 “ 4K IFE screen and Bluetooth for headphones, every detail is in the highest resolution!

Starlux A350 Ambient Lighting #JXRunway

Starlux was also sure to point out that they’ve installed mood lighting on their flagship aircraft. The airline will keep the lighting in-season with the colors changing to reflect the various holidays celebrated throughout the year.

Now the grand JX A350 RUNWAY begins.

As models walked down the aisles, ambient light changed along. STARLUX A350 offers unique ambient light settings targeting the most celebrated times of the year to make each journey on those special occasions even more unforgettable.

The colors of reflecting glitter on models’ garments changed as the seasonal ambient lights. For the Moon Fest, the entire cabin dimmed blue. The orange dots glow on the sidewall and patterns on the ceiling represent the image of the full moon.

During the Lunar New Year, the cabin turns orange with tints of red randomly popping around. With Christmas, white and blue sparkle. It’s the snow made of lights.

Starlux A350 Business Class #JXRunway

Starlux has installed 26 business class seats on its A350 aircraft. Personally, this is one of the most attractive business class products I’ve seen.

The seats are suites with 48.5-inch doors and a privacy partition. The 24-inch 4k in-flight entertainment screens will have the option of connecting directly to passenger headsets via bluetooth.

Guests of JX A350 RUNWAY, it’s time for an after-party celebration!

After the runway show, models and guests gather in Business Class for treats and fun. 24” IFE screens play the highlights of the show in 4K to spice up the vibe. Laughers, teasing, what happens in Business stay in Business.

The 48.5” wall with sliding door provides our models and VIP guests a personal space to have conversations with complete privacy. Models can now release their stress with Zero-G mode, the innovative feature on the new STARLUX A350 for Business and First Class, to set the body into neutral posture based on NASA’s specifications. As cabin lights dim low and the cozy lamps lighten up the seat, the party has slowly come to an end.

Starlux A350 First Class #JXRunway

Starlux is poised to become the first airline in Taiwan to offer first class so it’s no surprise that they’d be sure to highlight their new cabin. They definitely do not dissapoint.

The A350s feature four first class seats, in a 1-2-1 configuration.

The first class suites have 60-inch doors with privacy partitions. In-flight entertainment is offered through 32-inch 4k screens with bluetooth audio connectivity.

The attention to detail here looks spectacular. From the looks of the hard product, this might be one of the best first class products in the world. I can’t wait to experience it to see if the soft product matches the hard product…

Finally, JX A350 RUNWAY has ended. Guests can now return to their homes in the one and only STARLUX First Class.

Thank you all for joining this journey exploring the A350. This immersive runway will not succeed without your participation. Please store your coat in the personal wardrobe, grab a drink from the mini bar, and sit back and relax. Within this area surrounded by a 60” wall, everything is for you to enjoy. You may want to set the chair to Zero-G, turn on the massage feature, and push the four-way adjustment armrest down. They are the perfect combination for the 32” 4K IFE screen.

Put the middle divider down to chat with the next-door passenger and order an exclusive Barhome cocktail drink. The runway might be over, but your journey with STARLUX A350 just begin.

Tomorrow, STARLUX A350 regional flights begin, to Bangkok and Macau.
