Great quality report thanks for sharing
I like Air China
A good walkthrough
I live in Australia my last 7 return flight to Europe I have done in A300-320 and A300-330 and Boeing 787, Economy Class with Air China and China Southern 100% satisfied
I enjoyed it
Great trip report! I'll be flying air China next week
Enjoy your flight!
can you review air rum l1011 next time coming from JORDAN and GAMBIA??? thxs lots of love from central African republic CAR BANGUI.
LOL it looks like a Swiss meal; can tell by the cake and gruyere cheese.
Did you check in a bag? Were they strict with the checked bags and carry-on bags?
I didn't notice them being particularly strict (like most Asian airlines) but there's a lot of signage and warnings about overweight baggage.
What do you mean by strict? Carry-on wise, not strict on wide-body flights. Checked bags wise, 23KG I believe is the max, just like all other - you will have to pay for an overweight fee if it goes above that.
Singapore Airlines any day for me….they’re the best by far.
Quite frankly it looks better than Virgin who I used to fly a lot with in economy. They have really gone down and I certainly would think of flying Air China business class if I went to Australia.
im transfering to bangkok throughbeijing. do i need to fill in lqnding card and departure card? is it simple there for transfering between flights?
Yes - for international transfers on the same ticket, all you need to do is go through the gates with your boarding pass and passport. It's very well signed. I don't think you have to fill in any arrival documentation if you're not actually entering China.
Pretty good, but I suggest implementing frutiger aero elements in your videos. Thanks in advance
Very nice interior design.
Like in the 80‘s
@@marius8155 I don't care for your american propaganda opinion.
@@ramatgan1 I‘m not american 😂 But I‘ve flown many western Airlines an they are so much nicer than those in China! Also western media isn‘t controlled by the goverment like in China or Russia. Think of it;)
@@marius8155 You're a European whose country is just now a american vassal and is pushing anti chinese western propaganda. I can see right through you. Any Asian airline is vastly better than a european one.
@@marius8155 You over demand a no brain person for the request of 'think'. These are the Chinese propaganda robots. They spend more money on these robots than upgrading their planes.
Noobie question: do most A330-300 aircraft offer 2-4-2 seating configurations?
Yes - the vast majority of A330s are 2-4-2 (8-abreast) economy. A small number of airlines have denser 3-3-3 (9-abreast) configurations.
@@mackerfly Thank you kindly. Feels like it's getting rare to coming across a 2-4-2 config flight these days. 3-3-3 feels more cramped and less convenient for non-aisle seaters to get out for a stretch or a trip to the lavatory.
3-3-3 doesn't sound bad at all. Most airlines cramp you in as 3-4-3 I believe on a 777 or 787. Unless you are flying Japan Airlines. @@ondreiii
@@kennygucci I agree too. 3-4-3 is worst.
Exclude Cebu Pacific, Lion and AirAsia.
I like to see something like this 😂
The French😍😍😍
Sorry, but you'd need to be a speed reader to read the sub titles!! Otherwise a good video
Thanks for the feedback:)
@@mackerfly Yes, please leave up the sub titles 2-3 seconds longer!! Thank You!
Very good flight report! But I hope you you were able to clean your lens as the video looks foggy!🤣
It's not the lens. It's the air pollution in Beijing.
The air brought inside from Beijing-Geneva
You do realise you are looking through a couple of old acrylic windows!
Food looks good. Do they serve alcohol?
Just beer is available in Economy.
Sometimes Air China uses 15-year-old A330-200 on Euro flights, and those PTVs are extremely old, like Thai's 747-400 and British Airways non-refurbished 777-200ER.
Yes 🙌 That's what took me to Geneva. It's definitely one of their oldest products and I hope they refurbish it soon.
@@mackerflythey may be change a350
@@mackerflyas a Chinese guy I really don’t understand why air china are using those old plane on 10+hours trip😂😂 and 747 on domestic flights 😅 Sorry for the uncomfortable experience on air china to you
looks like the cabin was a bit empty
I’ve taken numerous international and domestic flights on Air China and other Chinese airlines. Level of service, especially to foreigners, is exceptional
For economy passengers currently, 1-2 hours less flight time and lower price is way nicer than those major European airlines. In comparison, a tiny bit more premium service is worth nothing considering those advantages.
What was the duration of this flight? Everything looks like it went according to flight plan. Very smooth and actually coach class looks like a decent ride.
About 11 hours :)
Captioned remarks disappear too quickly from the screen. I’m a fast reader and I’m having trouble reading them. I’m not watching this any further.
Thank you for the feedback!
Air China may offers great deal with "Europe - Southeast Asia or East Asia(exclude Air China's main hub)", the direct route flight's price is very bad, in my opinion.
This is true. CA has a very large market share for international flights from Capital which makes it easy for them to charge high prices for non-connecting passengers
agree about the food. can all cabin crew speak English or selected few?
I believe all cabin crew on international flights can speak English, although some are more proficient than others.
Tks for your answer
:3
interior look pretty dated, but food is good.
So surprised to see non~Chinese nationals on the plane too
2-4-2 makes sense better than 3-3-3
Sadly there will be even more 3-4-3 !! 🥴😡Money is everything😕
This is an old plant I think ?
When was this? The plane seems outdated, the infotainment system I mean seems outdated.

16:12 wtf is the child doing?!
Climbing over the seat, the brat ! 😂😂
airchina have a good reputation from many years ago,it is a important member of star allians.i think you don't travel offen , you don't know airchina and the aviation information in the world,that's all.
macker
i had once with air china from BeiJing to Melbourne, feb 2023.
very very nice crew but really bad meal, super soft touch-down but really hard braking, for the first time ever, i felt the seat belt holding me back like when you have to brake hard in a car.
but 17:03 bad reputation, internationally?? i have never heard of but if it's political oriented, well, they are prob prepared to get banned anytime in the west, for the sake of national security.😅 but if it's annoying cabin config and meal, i don't think these would escalate to 'reputation'. 🤔 i can bring my own meal, snacks and instant drinks like bubble tea, they just need to put in hot water for me.
Absolutely, I think that CA crew are great but some planes are very very old/outdated. As for the negative perception/reputation, this might just be because of stereotypes of Chinese airlines/political reasons.
Chinese airlines are great until something goes wrong (weather, delay, etc) and you are stuck in a Chinese airport for days and nobody wants to do their job.
bus rides are so annoying!
still so heavy polluted even inside the terminal
bonjour is spanish bro what are you on 😊😊😊
Worst airline
this is so boring 😂😂😂
Found it to be quite indepth, and it looks good to me ❤
@@LaluBhaiya1233 sorry I’m the professional hater on this chanmel
Then watch something else then! 😂😂
@@vectorixget a life 😭
do they have dog meat for service?
airlines in China never serves those strange stuffs. And only few people in China eat dogs.
that’s not..
What a question is that? Racist.
How is that racist? Are you denying that Chinese eat dog meat?@@pharadornchuengcharoensris7336
hello Human Shaped trash, If you can ask such a question, your parents must be brother and sister, and you must have had a happy childhood, hahaha
