a good choice for economical trip

Advantages: safety, price, food, punctuality
Disadvantages: service of milages, less free luggage

I've travelled several times with Air China, both international and internal. With the same service Air China is much cheaper than most air companies of other countries. I would prefer to take Air China, not only because of it's low price, but also because Air China has an exellent record of safety. Thanks God, the time is over, in which the flight steward fighted with the Hijackers. ;) The food is certainly not an unforgettable culinary enjoyment, ...

Review of Air China - CCA

Worth A Try If Money Is The Issue

Advantages: Competitive Pricing
Disadvantages: Some Safety Concerns,

I recently traveled with China Airlines so thought I would share my thoughts on them. Despite its name, this is the airline of Taiwan not China. In some countries it is called Mandarin Airlines. I traveled with China Airlines from Glasgow to Bangkok via Amsterdam. Amsterdam is their main European hub, depending on where you are connecting from the first flight will probably be with KLM UK. The main drawback with Amsterdam is the number of delays. ...
...out of there. But China Airlines were on time leaving and arriving. The first leg - Glasgow to Amsterdam was on a Fokker regional jet, which is reasonably comfortable with legroom, seat size etc ( I am a six footer ) The main out leg was in an Boeing 747-400 with a standard passenger layout holding over 300 passengers. The plane was relatively old and showed it inside with average facilities - no personal LCD screen, only the older overhead TV screens, ...

Review of China Airlines

China Southern airlines - a 21st century airline

Advantages: Very friendly staff
Disadvantages: None

I recently travelled to China on BA. Their plane was good, comfortable with a good range of movies, etc. After a 13 hour flight to Hong Kong I was alittle concerned about the subsequent flight to Guangzhou. As it happened Hong Kong airport was a really good stop-over point, and the China-Southern check in desk were very polite. Upon boarding the 737 we realised that the fleet was modern, and the crew polite. Although the flight was only 35 minutes ...
...all a very satisfactory experience. As the name suggests China Southern cover all of Southern China with an extensive flight schedule. The cost was around £120 each which I didn't think was too bad for a national airline. Perhaps Easyjet ought to muscle in on China though!! ...

Review of China National Airlines

Monarch Airlines have my custom again

Advantages: Friendly staff, reliable, value for money
Disadvantages: drinks too expensive and limited legroom

...for the first time with Monarch Airlines on 22nd December for a Christmas getaway to visit family. During the time of travel the country had very poor weather conditions (snow and ice) so delays and cancellations were across all UK airports and many airlines. Upon arrival at the airport I was happy to see Monarch check in staff controlling the queue which sped up the process of initial check in. I think it really makes a difference if the queue is ...
...the flight was standard to what I have seen before, selling perfumes, make-up, toys etc. I felt this was a really enjoyable flight and the staff made me feel like a valued customer as oppose to just a passenger on their airline. I would recommend Monarch to friends. ...

Review of Monarch Airlines

Etihad Airlines

Advantages: great for non jews
Disadvantages: Not good for jews

.... It would seam that Etihad Airways now have the abilaty to give Kosher statues, unfortunately for your company You do not have the ability or the authority to grant/give Kosher certification, and in the USA this is a federal offence and punished with a minimum jail term. It would seem strange that Etihad offer a vast choice in inflight catering from Halal to Vegan , but for Kosher out of Abu Dhabi non existence, strange as Rabbi Canntor out of BangCock ...
