There are premium classes, and then there is China Airlines. This airline stunned the aviation industry when it revealed their business class revamp back in 2016. The collective reaction was a gasp of amazement from everyone. It looked absolutely fantastic in photos, and trust me when I say it looks even better up close and personal.
Paired together with the excellent Taiwanese hospitality, in-flight service was simply amazingly impeccable. And then there's the catering. I cannot give it any more thumbs up because I only have a pair.
Follow me as I bring you through this 5th freedom flight done right, between Brisbane and Auckland. Prepared to be wow-ed.

Last month I flew China Airlines from Los Angeles to Taipei, a 14.5 hour adventure. I agree with your observations on the beauty of the cabin and the attentiveness of the flight attendants. It did not appear to be an issue being an English speaker. We did get hot towels by the way. Maybe they watched your video! Food was amazing, and as I had pre-selected my meal with some ambivalence I asked if I might get a taste of the Gung Pau Pork Belly. No such luck, I was brought two complete meals! Both were wonderful, and complemented by a little Kavalan. The flight back was equally lovely. Yes, the seats are a bit narrow, but not to the point of discomfort. Altogether a very nice and memorable experience. I have many more miles and experiences flying Lufthansa, and can say that this was comparable in all departments except for the food service, which was superior.

it looks wonderful, did you use qantas points? and if you did how did you select your seat??? (asking for m... a friend lol) It really does look a wonderful business class cabin. im looking forward to flying them next May all things going well. the food looks amazing. interesting the comparison with Korean Airlines and the crashes due to the top down approach to authority. I remember an air crash investigation into one crash where the co pilot realised they were going to crash and yet couldnt let the pilot know! another great review sir Ryan.
@ryansofly 9 ай бұрын
Howdy Andy, no I booked this directly with CI. BNE-AKL with CI is not bookable via QF because there's no code share, so no points and SCs. Thus, seat selection was done directly with CI on their website. AUD 860 one way vs QF's bullshit AUD 1300 on a clapped out domestic configured 737. Go figure!

My wife and I flew in economy with China Airlines return from Shanghai Pudong to Taipei Taoyuan in 2016. The forward journey was in a near new B777 in a very brownish looking cabin and the return in a cabin with more traditional decor. Flight departures in both directions were substantially delayed by the seemingly inevitable congestion at airports in China. Otherwise, the in-flight service was good. We had originally planned a Sydney-Taipei-Shanghai-Sydney itinerary booking with Qantas and using a code share flight with China Airlines on the first leg. This would take advantage of the 144 hour visa-free transit stay in Shanghai. However Qantas offered a somewhat cheaper return ticket to Shanghai so we did the return flight across the water to Taiwan and had two visa-free stays in the region around Shanghai.

Yes it's an impressive business class Ryan. Here in Europe both CI and BR have little market identity unless heading to Taipei or using one of their fifth-freedom flights to Bangkok. These two really expanded once they introduced neutral liveries to downplay their Taiwanese identity.

Agreed with your assessment and enjoyed your review. In my J class flight from KUL to Rome vi Taipei and subsequently Vienna to KUL (via Taipei) in September, hot towels were certainly distributed. The A350 J class design (in your video) is more nicer than the B777 J class. Same layout and 1-2-1 design but with darker seat fabrics, darker overall ambience and without the claw foot table lamp in the latter.

As a Brisbane local who frequently travels on flights arrival into the international terminal, contrary to your statements in this video I've rarely experienced long lines neither at immigration (thanks to passengers being directed to the Smartgates for a liberal number of countries) nor at customs. In regards to the Olympics, Brisbane won't be the only arrival point for olympians and spectators with several events and accommodation on the Gold and Sunshine Coasts in addition to Brisbane.

It appears that the "China Girl" is much better than "Singapore Girl" I was totally disappointed with the 'cold' and unattentive cabin service on all 4 Singapore Airlines flights recently.....and I'm talking of their biz class. Singapore Airlines of today is NOT that of yester years 🙄 For me, it's all marketing hype today. Sorry, for divulging from subject of China Airlines. I too am very keen in giving it a try. Maybe by taking a roundabout way from Sydney to Singapore.via TaoYuan 🙂
@ryansofly 7 ай бұрын
If you've ever been to Taiwan and experienced the service culture there, you'll understand why China Airlines is such. It just comes so naturally to them. Whereas with SQ, the service style has to be enforced. Sadly, business class cabin is where a lot of economy class FAs get trained for their next progression in premium service. So if you're unlucky enough to get a flight with such trainings going on, you'll experience that sort of off brand service because they're still learning.
