It was glad to travel to Taipei again. After 1.5 months, I traveled to Taipei again.
It is an amazing place for Hong Kong people to relax in a short vacation.
We arrived in Hong Kong International Airport around 0800. It was a sunny day
for travel.
The check-in area of China Airlines, it was crowded and a lot of passenger travel to Taipei.
Because there are 3 flights go to Taiwan in a short period. Luckily, we done the
online check-in at home. It can save lots of time for queuing.

Conclusion

This is my second time travel on CI's A350. It was a comfy flight and everything was fine in
1 hr 40 mins flight.

The crew was nice and the flight meal is high standard for this duration of flight. It is perfect
which compare with the regional flight in Europe.

Let's enjoy my next flight to Hong Kong and I was reserved the Premium Economy Class
for the return flight.

  • Hi, HENRYLAU1991.

    I have experienced B777 PY as an economy seat on this route year ago. It was just before the debut of CI A350.

    I love CI's new A350 and B777 cabin, both of which has beautiful wood pattern wallpaper since I could feel relaxed.

    The child meal looks much bigger than normal meal...That's interesting. Thank you for your report!

    • Thank you for your comment. The flight with CI A350 is great.

      Really love the wood pattern wallpaper and feel comfy.

      It was surprised that the child meal is much bigger than the normal one, the portion it looks like

      full meal in >3hrs flight.

  • How great that you can select PE seats for free on this route! Were they available during online check-in? I wonder where they draw the line and which routes within Asia actually sell PE seats.

    • Thank you for your comment. You can choose when you online check-in for the PEY seat.

      They using 77W and 359 and they fly in HKG, NRT, KIX(If I remember) route. They will sold PEY as Y.

      However, the service and food is same as Y. But you can enjoy the wider seat.
