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.
Some plane spotting.
The rare B757-200 of Air Astana. The A350-900 of Cathay Pacific. The B777-300 of Cathay Pacific, usually is flying on regional route in Asia. The A330-300 of SAS, it will depart to Stockholm. Usually you can see her operate the morning flight to Japan. B767-300 (ER) of ANA. As you can see there are two CI's plane. The Thai's A330-300 will go to Phuket soon. Both UA 777 will fly to USA soon. The B737-800 of CI will go to Taichung. The A330-300 of CI will go to Kaohsiung. You can see the Ci's A350, which will go to Taipei. Our flight was delayed for 10 minutes. The plane to Taipei is A350-900, B-18903. It is a new generation plane of China airlines. Usually fly to Europe and America. The beautiful winglet of A350-900. We will boarding soon. The KLM B747-400 combi which arrived from AMS. The priority of the boarding. Beautiful A350. The seat of Premium Economy Class, you can choose these seat in the HKG-TPE route. Which is free for Economy Class passenger if you can choose this by luck. The generous legroom. The seat pocket and you can find lots of things inside. The washroom.
The cabin spotting before takeoff. Safety video before takeoff. The flight map. You can find the universal socket here. It is great for computer work on the long haul flight. Takeoff to Taipei. The nice 3D flight map of this new plane. I was booked the child meal after purchase the ticket. Usually, the special meal is arrived earlier than the normal meal. You can find our, the child meal is include a bun, salad, entree, fruit and chocolate. Also, it provide a juice for a child. It was a full meal for this short flight. When I enjoyed my child meal for 12mins, the normal meal was arrived. It is a pork rice and cheese mousse cake. It look fine, but child meal it look much better than this. The blue blue sky again. After the full meal, lets walk around the cabin before landing.
Ready for landing. The special effect of the lighting. Safely arrived Taipei Taoyuan Airport. Nice equipment of the new A350. Some shot before leaving the aircraft.
Goodbye B-18903.

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.
