They often offer quite cheap long-haul flights, but be aware! Their A330s are old, the legroom is tiny, the meals are borderline inedible, in conclusion: Don’t!

China hired foreign pilots aggressively during their airline industry boom, and they paid ridiculous amounts for compensations.
well…air china also has a bad reputation on its domestic flight…
Thank you for the report , well I’m trying not to take China mainland airlines
8:51 Minsk, Belarus
You should do a brutally honest report of Air China sometime
the empty dish was to serve a virus perhaps
This is why I like enjoy and trust Simply Aviation, no ego`s, no sponsor's, just an honest reflection of a flight that they have paid for.
My son and his wife come home to Scotland from Korea via Beijing and London with Air China, there were also not impressed.
Thanks David for your honest opinion.
2:50am flight just a bit toooooooo early for me 🤣
Nice trip report! This was a 2008-built plane? Wow, it looked as if it was about 30 years old. The IFE was old fashioned, and the seat was uncomfortable for this flight.
China Airlines VS Air China? What do you think? :p
This whole flight just feels very….CHINA😅, not very attentive to details and lack of maintenance (China in a nutshell).
It's worlds apart airlines from the same region *ie.Japanese and Taiwanese airlines.
KA is much better than ca
Not surprisingly to see that all of your two videos about air china were negative.
Air China's safety vide it's too cute! :3
less legroom than a turboprop airliner! how do they do it?
take literally any other Chinese airline for long hauls
What's wrong with it? I used it several times since I use KIX, there is not much direct flight to Europe, especially to middle Europe from KIX and via Beijing is the shortest distance. We don't even have an Aeroflot flight to Moscow so automatically it will be Beijing.
To be honest, I've had worse airline breakfasts.
Ahh, who else is watching this because they haven't done their customary JFK-PEK flight for some time now and vaguely miss it, even though they don't even really like visiting relatives or jetlag or the endless dinners, and certainly not the economy flight?
i mean what do you expect from communist China these days, Shen zai😂
I really appreciate the honest opinions on the flights. Sorry to hear that the flight was not very great, David.
I have seen this video some times. It made me sad because I was supposed to be to fly with them between Germany and Japan in March 2020 and of course the flight got cancelled. There can be said many things about Air China, but the money was refunded two weeks after the cancellation which is not the case by many airlines.
Flying to, from or connecting thru China? Thanks but no, thanks.
When on earth is Air China going to update its livery? It’s long overdue. I suppose it would look quite frivolous for a communist state airline…
the seat are for chinese !!
I live in Tokyo since long time and I always fly Air China when possible to go find my family back in Europe…very cheap flights and no problem so far honestly! I love it hostesses give you free snacks too if you ask
Worst airline I have used; during a flight from London to Beijing the noise was immense, my seat was so tightly squeezed I could hardly move and like you they kept the lights on meaning when I got to Beijing I was so tired but jetlag caught up too. Lastly some Chinese people decided to get out of their seats on the run way and one tried smoking
I have done that…😂
Used to fly their ancient 333 with no inflight entertainment system onboard from Beijing to Melbourne. And mobile phones weren’t allowed to use inflight back then. Painful 11 hour flight 😅.
6:18 Emirates always gave me a full meal on longhaul flights, regardless how early or late the plane took off
