As Valentine's Day approaches, 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, for travelers departing from Los Angeles (LAX), Ontario (ONT), San Francisco (SFO), New York (JFK), Seattle (SEA), Phoenix (PHX), and Vancouver (YVR), with fares starting at US$681. This seasonal offer aligns with China Airlines' Valentine's campaign, “Pin Your Next Asia Love Story,” which highlights romantic and culturally rich travel experiences across the region. Travelers can find more information on the China Airlines North America website and follow the airline's official Facebook and Instagram channels.
Beyond the seasonal offer, the announcement reflects broader network growth, notably on China Airlines' Ontario–Taipei nonstop route, which is approaching one million passengers served since its launch in 2018. 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, China Airlines launched an interline partnership with Southwest Airlines in January 2026, enabling single-ticket itineraries that combine Southwest's domestic network with China Airlines' transpacific services, allowing 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 reflects T+T's “Tapas × Tasting” inspiration, blending refined French techniques with Asian flavors and Taiwanese influences. Available across all cabin classes, the collaboration brings contemporary Taiwanese cuisine to the in-flight experience. A standout dish, Wheel Pie Filled with Rose Duck and Truffle, reimagines a familiar Taiwanese street snack through a fine-dining lens. This continues China Airlines' commitment to delivering thoughtful culinary experiences, having partnered with acclaimed brands including Le Palais, Mipon, Moon Moon, Yoshi Bakery, Yang Ming Spring, and Little Tree Food. Passengers may pre-order meals up to 24 hours before departure via the China Airlines website.
