    Thanks for sharing this first report with us! It's amazing how many flight CX has to Taipei. I see you got one of the cabins that still have the older fixed shell seats. I've heard a lot of complaints about how uncomfortable those can be, but that didn't seem to be a problem for you--maybe because it's a very short flight? It is certainly nice that the seats are in the roomy 3-3-3 configuration and noone can recline the seat in your face with the shell, so that is nice as well.

    Hello, and thank you for the report, I have to say that I was surprised by the trendy presentation of the snack, good one CX!
    A 3-3-3 configuration is always welcomed in B777. Have a nice day!

    Welcome to the site and thank for sharing.

    This snack box isn’t as good as what CX used to offer, but it looks better than what others have shown on HKG-TPE reports. I like how the bag has a ribbon, a classy touch by CX.

    Shame you didn’t get to sit on the right side of the plane, it is always beautiful views along the Taiwan coast as you fly up from Tainan to Taipei to land. I’ve flown in these seats before and found them to be pretty hard, but at least you didn’t have to sit on them for the TPE-ICN flight.
