As Valentine’s Day approaches and demand for Asia travel intensifies, China Airlines is marking the season with expanded connectivity, onboard enhancements, and a major route milestone across North America. The airline is offering limited-time Valentine’s Day fares on select Asia routes from January 31 through February 22, 2026, with flights starting at US$681 for travelers departing from Los Angeles (LAX), Ontario (ONT), San Francisco (SFO), New York (JFK), Seattle (SEA), Phoenix (PHX), and Vancouver (YVR).
The seasonal fares align with China Airlines’ Valentine’s campaign, “Pin Your Next Asia Love Story,” which highlights romantic and culturally rich travel experiences across the region. Travelers are encouraged to visit the China Airlines North America website and follow the airline’s official Facebook and Instagram channels for regional updates and travel information.
Beyond the seasonal offer, the announcement reflects broader network growth, most notably on the Ontario–Taipei nonstop route, which is now approaching one million passengers served since its launch in 2018. China Airlines was the first Taiwan-based carrier to operate from Ontario International Airport and has served the route for nearly eight years, now offering daily nonstop service to Taipei. The route has become a preferred alternative for travelers across Southern California and the Inland Empire, providing direct access to Asia without congestion at larger coastal gateways.
To commemorate the milestone, China Airlines will partner with the Ontario International Airport Authority on February 2, 2026, to host a special celebration with free giveaways at the departure gate of Flight CI-023 from Ontario to Taipei. The one-millionth passenger will receive a round-trip ticket to any China Airlines destination in Asia. Further strengthening connectivity, the airline launched an interline partnership with Southwest Airlines in January 2026, enabling travelers to book single-ticket itineraries that combine Southwest’s domestic network with China Airlines’ transpacific services, with through-checked baggage and smoother transfers.
China Airlines has also introduced a new inflight dining collaboration with Michelin one-star restaurant T+T, debuting in January 2026 on long-haul flights departing Taiwan to North America, Europe, and Oceania. The menu blends refined French techniques with Asian flavors and Taiwanese influences, available across all cabin classes. A standout dish, Wheel Pie Filled with Rose Duck and Truffle, reimagines a familiar Taiwanese street snack through a fine-dining lens. Passengers may pre-order meals up to 24 hours before departure via the China Airlines website.
These developments underscore China Airlines’ commitment to enhancing the travel experience and expanding its network, positioning the carrier as a key player in the growing Asia travel market.
