Conclusion

After the short flight to Taipei, I found that there are improvement of China Airlines.
Such as, they provide more comfortable seat for the new plane. It is really surprise
I can mark the PEY seat for the short flight. PEY seat is really nice and comfy.
The meals is fine, nothing to blame that.
Although the plane was full, the flight attendant still provide professional service
to the passengers.
Please look forward for my surprise flight on CI919 for my return leg.

  • Holy cow, that plane looks amazing. Visibly new with those nice, huge screens. Love the bulkhead textures. Definitely made me look different at China Air.

    Thanks for your in-depth report on the cabin.

    • Thank you for your comment. It is nice plane of China Airlines, such as the new IFE system and the Chinese

      bulkhead textures.

      Hope you can get onboard soon.

      I just posted the return trip of CI919, you may have a look.

  • Thanks for sharing this beautiful report. There aren't many reports out there on China Airlines' new Premium Economy. The product looks really good overall. The Premium Economy cabin is really big compared to most other airlines. There must be a lot of demand on the long-haul flights. It's nice that they consider these normal economy on short-haul, allowing anyone in Economy to select them. Nice to have a full meal in Economy for such a short flight. Another reminder that service levels in Asia are so much higher than in the U.S. and Europe. Thanks for sharing!

    • There must be a lot of demand on the long-haul flights. ===>> Yes, China Airlines provide quite lots of PEY seat for long haul flight. That can let who willing pay more to enjoy better food and generous legroom.

      It's nice that they consider these normal economy on short-haul, allowing anyone in Economy to select them. ===>>Despite the 77W, CI's 744 also provide anyone in Economy choose upper deck Business Class. Of course, the meal and service is the level of Economy class.

      Nice to have a full meal in Economy for such a short flight. ===>> CI and BR also provide hot meals is such short route.

      service levels in Asia are so much higher than in the U.S. and Europe. ===>> Yes, some of the FSC in U.S. and Europe have not provide hot meal already. So that, the service standard in Asia is much higher that the U.S. and Europe.
