Don't confused China Airlines with Air China. China airlines is Taiwan while Air China is mainland and I got to say other difference is China airlines has ratings of 4 or 5 stars while air china has 3 stars
I flew on China Airlines from Manila - Taipei - Los Angeles. There was nothing wrong with the service or the flights. I just didn't like the food that they served because I didn't like it and it looked like cooked canned dog food. Maybe it was just an unlucky flight for the meals at that time. Anyway for me the most important thing was a safe flight as I can always have something to eat later that I like. Next time we go back to the Philippines I'm planning to fly on Korean Airlines as I prefer the seating arrangements in economy on their 777 by having a 3-3-3 configuration instead of the 3-4-3 configurations that most airlines have. I have broad shoulders and it's not fun being cramped for 12 or 13 hours. I just need that little extra room.
I'm flying to Florida with them in a couple weeks and wanted to see the seats. I'm a little over 6' 1'' and i got an exit row seat going there, but had to get a regular seat for the way back. It's an aisle seat that is empty so far and hopefully it stays that way for me 😆 Thanks for the video!!👍
Excuse me, I have a flight from Delta Airlines and China Airlines from Dallas to Vietnam. I will go to Los Angeles airport to go to Taiwan. When I get off the plane, do I need to pick up my luggage and check in again? If I check in again, how will I follow the directions? This is the first time I've gone to 2 different airlines so I'm not sure, thank you very much!!😢
At Dallas, make sure you check the luggage through and to Vietnam. If you have an overnight in Taipei, then they will have you pull the luggage in Taipei. Otherwise, it check through Vietnam. At LAX, unless your Dallas check-in agent screws up, you shouldn't need to pick up. China Airlines use TBIT terminal and Delta is at T2 or T3. There is an airside bus you can take between T2/T3 and TBIT.
I'll be flying out in one of these in February. I notice what looks like white headphones wire plug into the monitor. Is it a regular plug and not the two prong plug?
if you want to get a good night's sleep I recommend upgrading to premium economy, China Airlines offers saffran airgo FX premium seats that have a bigger screen, good leg space, and their own hard shell so you don't have to worry about the person in front to recline into you, or you reclining into the person behind, and you get similar service to that of business class and an upgraded meal and 12 hours of complimentary wifi, if you ever choose to do so, i would suggest booking the front row seats for more leg room and fast access to the lavatory.
That premium econ seat is the worst!!!! Foot rest in the worst place, very limited recline due to the cocoon design, and rock hard seat padding and back... to top it off, that giant airbag on the seat belt. I've a frequent flyer and I have literally turned down a free upgrade into premium econ on regional flights. Once you try the premium econ seat on US airlines, you will never take China Airlines'.
@@_w_w_ i prefer it when no one recline into me that’s why i like it 😭 i have tried some western ones and they were pretty comfy, but safran fx airgo is still my preference 🙏🙏
@@banditegg5675 No one wants someone to recline into them. There is nothing stopping a non-cocoon seat to have more but constrained recline. Plus, in prem econ, the seat pitch is much more generous, even a bit of extra recline isn't had bad as in econ. I will just say the prem econ seats used by US airlines, the Recaro PL3530 series, also the same seat as domestic first class, are far superior to China Airlines' Zodiac Airgo FX... It's the same seat as JAL's. They are my least favorite seats. By the way, Taiwanese generally copy everything the Japanese does because of historic cultural reasons. When US airline update their prem econ to PL3810, it will be an even bigger game changer. In general, Safran Zodiac's seat designs are not very good. Recaro is far superior.
I will be traveling with my wife and 3-year-old son on this very flight in a couple of months. My son has never been on a plane, much less a long international flight like this. This video was so helpful to show him exactly what to expect when we make our trip, especially showing the entertainment system, then nice people, and the food. Thanks so much.❤❤
Just so you know, the food is pretty bad. Not China Airlines' issue but LAX and SFO catering are horrible. On your reverse flight from Taipei, the food is 100% better. Another problem is China Airlines does not have overhead air vent and they have the tendency to leave the cabin super warm. I've left their flights with heat exhaustion in several instances.
I love China Airlines better than EVA Air because there’s a food that I got is chicken and rice is my favorite. And I was on my flight Los Angeles to Taipei for 14 hours. It was super happy that we’re on this Airlines
What the fuck are you smoking? LAX is undergoing a major construction project to expand terminals and a new people-mover rail line. You've been living under the rocks.
Flew their A350-900 from SFO to TPE then to BKK. A much quieter and pleasant plane especially with nine abreast seating in economy instead of ten. No comparison .
