Air China - CCA > Reviews

Advantages: the price
Disadvantages: the service of flight attendants.

Air China is not China air line. They are completely different two companys. China air line is a taiwanese company. It used to be a state run company, and now has been privitisated. That's the begining of its disaster. Air China is a state-run international air line company. It has guite good reputition and very famous for the safety. It's not a bad idea to take Air China from China to go abroad, because it's cheaper and the food is all right. However, ... Read review

Advantages: Price, punctuality
Disadvantages: Food and drink

I flew Air China this year (2000) and I found them punctual and professional. Both flights were on time and the staff were just like those on any other airline.

Advantages: Leather seats
Disadvantages: Too many to list --- but Lack of safetly is most important !

Here is an example; we were offered either "soup in a cup" you know the kind you add hot water to and ... Read review

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, ... Read review

Advantages: Friendly crew
Disadvantages: Questionable safety

...few years I flew with Air China a number of times, mainly to Hong Kong. The airline was basic and domestic airlines from this part of the world do not have the best safety record in the world. The cabin crew however were always polite and pleased to be of assistance. The aircraft were generally quite old but that may just because of the route I was on. I was amazed that the cabin crew kept their calm and composure one time when we were flying by ... Read review
