China Airlines Premium Business on the A350-900 and 777-300ER, non-stops to Taipei from Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Seattle, Ontario and Phoenix, new suites with doors coming from late 2026, and how to book it.
The A350-900, flown to Los Angeles, Seattle, Ontario and Phoenix, has 32 Business seats (a 28-seat version also flies) in a 1-2-1 reverse-herringbone layout, about 22 inches wide with a 78-inch bed.

China Airlines revealed new Business suites with sliding doors, 4K screens and wireless charging for its new 787s in June 2026, with the first aircraft due later in 2026 on Asian routes. A 15-aircraft A350 retrofit, with suites expected to have privacy doors, is due from 2027 and complete in 2028.
