We've also learned that those codeshares include one of Starlux's newest routes — from Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE) to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) — pending regulatory approval.
Flights are available to book now for travel starting Sept. 30.

"We look forward to working with Starlux on opportunities to make the journey even more rewarding for customers."
American Airlines already had an interline agreement with the startup airline, allowing passengers to book travel involving both airlines and check their bags through to their final destination. Now, the airlines will also start codesharing on some flights as of Sept. 30.
