Southwest Airlines has announced plans for a new international partnership with China Airlines. The interline agreement would allow passengers to have both airlines on the same reservation and to connect bags between the carriers.
Southwest customers will be able to book China Airlines-operated flights to Taipei on its website and mobile app from four U.S. gateway cities. These cities include Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), Ontario International Airport (ONT), San Francisco International Airport (SFO), and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA). These itineraries will be available for booking later this year for travel in 2026.
Rapid Rewards members may be able to redeem points on trans-Pacific flights to Taiwan in the future.
We will continue to update travelers regarding this new partnership.
