Stop me if you've heard this one before, but I'm an opinionated student who needs money. I've been a bit annoyed about two things recently:
1) People taking my opinions way too seriously and leaving long-winded irate comments in response.
2) People...

There has got to be a better of getting to China than this.
Of the many dometic and international flights I have been on, Air China have been the worst carriers I have ever flown with.
Last week I took two long-haul flights (10.5 hours each) and two internal flights (2 hours each) during which I found the conditions aboard the plane to be very poor and, most alarmingly, the standard of flight well below average.
On a short flight from Beijing to Nanjing we were due to land in perfect conditions, yet for no apparent reason the pilot threw us onto the ground with a sickening thud as sparks flew up from the wings. I have been on planes landing in the middle of the night in pouring rain which have still been smooth. Whoever piloted that particular flight required a lot more practice.
The long-haul flights were generally better, altough on my return the entertainment system was not working (better that than the undercarriage I suppose...).
Airline food is rarely gourmet cuisine, but aboard Air China it is especially bad. The bread is sweet (God only knows why) and the drinks warm. You don't even get those lovely, hot, lemon-scented facecloths!
Air China have one of the worst safety records for commercial flights in the world. If that's not enough to put you off, everything else should be.

I had the misfortune of flying with Air China last summer to Beijing form London. They were probsbly one of the worse airlines I have ever flown with, so I agree with you!
Qatar Airways now fly to both Beijing and Shanghai, and are fantastic. Read my review on them if you have time!
Cheers,
