Last month I flew China Airlines Business Class from Taipei to San Francisco. Were my expectations met on this 95 000 mile flight?!

  1. I loved China Airlines Economy too! I flew the Honolulu to Taipei route and the food as well as the service was incredible.

  2. i flew with China Airlines in business class and honestly it was awesome i live in Europe and i don't thing there's this kind of quality in any Airlines in Europe hmm maybe Finnair or Air france

  3. pro tip going on airplane avoid getting water unless it is in a water bottle

  4. I am an Emerald Member to China Airlines (as a Belgian) and I have been flying this airline continuously since way back in the year 2007, all throughout South East Asia. I have been very satisfied ever since. Hence my member status.

  5. The night lamp on china airline was unique in business class because it is likely seen in "Emirates" and "Air France" first class

  6. I’ve always travelled on China Airlines business class and the experience has always been great. I used to work for EVA but hands down China Airlines is better. The only difference is EVA offers pajamas.

  7. In response to travelers who wonder why China Airlines doesn't have a higher profile:
    China Airlines has not promoted their own product compared to other Asian airlines like Korea's Asiana and Korean Air.
    Taiwanese people in general are not big promoters of their products, preferring instead by word of mouth.
    They also hate provisioning extra budget for advertising.
    But in the age of internet and social media, that kind of mentality won't get you far.

    My Taiwanese friend says their disdain for Koreans is well known, but they need to take a page from Koreans' flair for advertising. Think Samsung and how they promote their own line of products.

  8. Fun fact: China airlines is the national flagship carrier of the independent country of Taiwan
    事實: 中華航空是中華民國台灣的國籍航空

  9. Took a China Airlines flight from Seoul to Taipei and I was extremely impressed with the whole experience. Extremely comfortable, incredible service and amenities. I didn’t want the flight to end.

  10. Thank you, Dan for sharing this very surprising report. I had no ideas one way or the other, but it seems that over all the flight was exactly as you stated. I wonder why we haven't heard so much about China Airlines before? Hmmmm.

  11. I was looking for a review of CI where my hubby work as a Captain of one of the airbuses and came across to your channel, thank you for the thorough and good review would show this to hubby. I always look forward to our flights with CI especially the long hauls it’s is always pleasant and comfortable in business class, I won’t waste my free tickets of just staying home in Taipei when hubby has his 9 days off in a row. Sadly our frequent travels was interrupted by COVID our last flight was in 2019 from our home in Italy February in the nick of time cause right after that flight Italy was locked down😌 . Hopefully this year we can go back to traveling again 🙏😇….

  12. I love watching these kind of videos bucket list to take these kind of trips for me

  13. Hoping the flight is still just as good 4 years later. I've spent way too much on flights for my upcoming adventures in September so really would like to use points for my flights home. This same flight for me is 115,000 miles but I'm going to do it – this experience looks great!! Thanks for sharing – I'll try to post a review of how it is in 2022.
