Hi everyone, if you’re wondering, this is a reupload of my China Airlines Premium Economy review. Almost a year after I first the original video, I received a copyright claim on what was supposed to be copyright-free background music. I’m 99% sure it’s a false claim, so I disputed, but unfortunately, my dispute was rejected. Since I used the music in a significant portion of the video, I had to re-edit the entire thing from scratch. So, yeah, that’s why. Once again, please forgive the out-of-order flight review number. The copyright drama really wreaked havoc.
@1:23 Seating space is 39" x 20"? So far that's an extra inch more than most other Prem Econ. But other things must go awry later so continuing to watch......
@@WadmanP correct, 39 inches of pitch, and 20 inches measured between armrests. yes, it’s more spacious, but also way less comfortable than most others, so this is a hard pass.
The main downside of this premium economy class product is the non-reclinable seat. Many people complain about the seat in front reclining too much; and this is the result when seat can't recline...
JAL also uses a shelled seat in premium economy, I flew on both their A350-1000 and 777-300ER, and it didn't feel that bad. But they do have better headrest, and that might play a big role here. On usual recliner seat, I never recline my seat all the way down, I'm just afraid to disturb the passenger behind me😅Shelled seats avoid this for me so that's why me (and maybe some other people) prefer them.
@@MqLei to be frank, I’ve never tried JAL’s Prem Econ. but after my flight with CI’s, I’m not sure I’d book JAL in the future. fixed shell seats are a very hard pass for me.
Catering outside any US airport will always be bad, but food catering airports from East and Southeast Asian airports are much better, which is prolly why the second flight's food is better.
@@justinnnnn18 good point, but if that’s the case, then you’re in for another treat: the catering on my EVA Air flight from SFO-TPE was not better, it’s light years better. also in Premium Economy.

100% spot on. EVA recliner seat is much more comfortable & ergonomic. By the way I’m the doctor commenting on your original video :)
@@a90206 yep, JX and BR seats are leaps & bounds better

@@TripReportaviation exactly. more & more airlines are getting rid of this seat type for the conventional recliner seat.

SQ shell seat was so hard to adjust I had to stand up and push it to recline. Emirates did way better.
