      I didn't notice them being particularly strict (like most Asian airlines) but there's a lot of signage and warnings about overweight baggage.

    • @kennygucci
      @kennygucci 2 месяца назад

      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.

    • @mackerfly
      @mackerfly  Месяц назад

      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.

    Noobie question: do most A330-300 aircraft offer 2-4-2 seating configurations?

    • @mackerfly
      @mackerfly  2 месяца назад +3

      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.

    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.

    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.

    • @mackerfly

      Absolutely, I think that CA crew are great but some planes are very very old/outdated.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.
