THANKS FOR ALL YOUR VIDEOS OVER THE YEARS. ALWAYS EXCELLENT
JUST WONDERING WHY ENGINE SOUND WAS SO LOW ON THIS TAKE OFF??
BEST WISHES AND THANKS AGAIN 👍👍
Hey Paul !!!!! ❤ 😊 Your voice sounds horse, and scratchy, is that a new mike? 🎤 🎤
Just helping putting money into pockets CCP all = More PLANES SHIP TANKS NUKES
The way you say Taiwan is pretty rough
pour out milk and throw it away is a pretty poor behaviour, just do a milk coffee and chill. why just waste something when it was clearly your fault on pressing the wrong button?
Taipei is one of my favourite cities, its great fun with amazing food.
The lounge that's literally called Priority….is NOT the Priority Pass lounge 😂
Great vlog as always! You did take the words out of my mouth when it comes to adult daycare centers, or as some call it, lounge area. An office cantine or lunch room. That is why I never bather to use them. I would have given the soup away too. Lol! I never eat chicken. It is the cheapest food to buy for an airline. There are only ONE type of chicken. There are many types of fish! I do not eat pasta too. I would not have kept The North Face gear, I like to buy my own eye mask and stuff. Looking forward to the next one. Keep up the good work. Be safe!
Very much looking forward to the Starlux review
What was the piece of music at around 8 minutes?
Paul uses hockey term while going to gate ( boarding) lol 😂
As always fun and informative
Paul u should be comparing China airlines to Eva Air
Great video as always. Keep up the good work.
Hey Paul! What's that thing you always touch with your fingers just before entering the plane?😊
I fly Jagson airlines in India
I like to imagine the 'no walkie talkies' was anti-terrorism rather than communications interference.
The Priority lounge in FRA is the ex-Cathay Pacific lounge – albeit one of their old designs.
Glad you posted this review Paul. I’d be disappointed if I chose China Airlines. Lounge, as you stated appeared to be a corporate lunch room. Food did NOT look appealing at all IMHO. 😕. So I’ll avoid China Airlines rather than be disappointed. Looking forward to the Starlux review as they now fly out of LAX. 😉
At least this Bazball hype got me watching cricket on TV for the first time!
Well done

Sorry mate, Johnnie Walker Blue Label is NOT 200 YEARS OLD. Mixed blend of whiskey between 28 and 60 years old. Better luck next week Australia 2 England 0😢😢😅😅
Lol that looks nothing like hainanese chicken rice! 😂🤷🤦🏻
Been banging on about them since before Covid… their A350-900 is better
When was this recorded? Also, I've been on that exact plane back in 2018.
Nothing with China in the name is worth it. On the contrary, should be avoided as far as possible.
When sitting in the last seat of business class do you not worry about the bassinets in the front row of economy? I can imagine screaming babies would entirely ruin the the experience!
Great video Paul. I just made a similar award redemption from LAX to TPE thru Air France as well for my Tokyo trip later this year in November. Was just curious when you were able to select your seat or if you were assigned it.
John Terry eye roll
Had a great experience with them when flying this exact route in 2018. Really good product, and the service was Asian-type very friendly.
