    China Airlines is Taiwanese. Nothing to do with China

    That's a good deal too they have a good Business class

        Taiwan is officially called Republic of China (ROC), that is why the airline is called China Airlines. China Airlines serves a lot of Australian ports and has been for a long time. They have a really good business class product on the 359. Know what you are saying before you do and stop being arrogant.

          "The Company, was an English and later British joint-stock company.[4] It was formed to trade in the Indian Ocean region, initially with Mughal India and the East Indies, and later with Qing China. The company ended up seizing control of large parts of the Indian subcontinent, colonised parts of Southeast Asia, and colonised Hong Kong after a war with Qing China."

      As a Taiwanese, I'm really sorry to confuse you guys with the naming issue. Have talked to several people worked for China airline and they got annoyed as well but they can do nothing, otherwise they have to re-apply all the route all over the world. However, China airline is a quite nice airline and I would also highly recommend you guys have a stop by in Taipei for a couple of days and enjoy the food and culture.

      Airplanes have HEPA filters in the air conditioners, and those can filter viruses from the air. It doesn’t get much more germ-free than the dry air inside a plane. The airport however is where the real infection risk is.

        And you'd gamble your health with an airline that doesn't disclose how often they change those filters?

        You've not flown on their a330/787/refurba380 product then. Better than many business class products, including the older SQ product that has the seat fold down for the lay flat, or the EH 777s.

        • [Deactivated] on 27/01/2020 - 10:28
          +2

          Yes, I have. In fact, I was on their new 787 biz when they were used to fly domestic before deploying as part of their international fleet. Reverse herringbone, nothing special. Other major airlines have been using it for yonks.

          Hardwares are similar across most airlines. Apex suite has always been my preference over reverse herringbone. SQ lifted the game with two middle seats that turn into a "bed" makes it great for family travel.

          I have flown all major carriers across APAC and AU to Euro in biz. BA is by far one of the worst in Biz, not only their seat layout is bad/uncomfortable, service is avrage. At least QF has more comfortable seats.

          As far as my personal preference goes, China Airlines biz has the most pleasant/elegant cabin.

          SQ and CX are the best in terms of service.

          Qatar and Korean air have the best seats in biz with plenty of privacy.

          Emirate, Jal are the best all rounder.

          QF is so average that their lounge are always overcrowded - they milked their QFF program and lounge passes.

          Haneda and Changi are two great airports for transit. Not only the airlines' lounges are great, but facility available for everyday jo.

          Qantas? No. Only if they offer the lowest fare, or work mandates to meet committed budget.

    Flew with China Airlines a few times to Taiwan and the service is quite good considering the price you pay. FYI, as mentioned by others this is a Taiwan based airline company, not China (even though the name has China in it). Therefore nothing to do with the Coronavirus as Taiwan only has a handful of reported cases and not the origin country.

    • Froot Loops on 26/01/2020 - 16:48

      That's the downside to CI. Many routes to Europe have long stopovers. I just wish LGW was included as they have a very short stop over and I would have booked at these prices.

    • TheRealCher on 27/01/2020 - 16:21

      Whenever I've flown, maximum stop over was 7 hrs and it's a fantastic lounge. I know on the way back there can be (depending on flight) 17 he's but you get a free day tour, your bags would be checked through and there are many hotels near the airport with free shuttle buses if yr wanting to recalibrate the body clock.

    • [Deactivated] on 27/01/2020 - 22:51
      +4

      I find the 17hrs layover perfect. Land around 6am, shower in the transit lounge (biz lounge is only after your check in, no use when stopping over and to leave the airport for a day tour).

      • Join the morning free tour that departs from airport. Sign a waiver to not return with the group and catch a train/taxi out to explore taipei city.

      • Have a go at their night market before heading back to the airport.

      • shower and chill at the lounge before boarding.

      • once boarded,indulge in a movie or two and stay awake for as long as you can. Sleep at around 3 hrs into the flight. Wake up at AM local time in Europe.

      Worked well to minimise jetlag.

They planes are very new, with lots of leg room (In economy) and business also looks very fair. Food is very good, just was weird having breakfast (Sausage with egg and bread) and then ice cream.

    Keen to see the impact of Starlux on CI and BR. CI has improved greatly over the years and has moved on from its poor safety record in the 90s.

    Also remember that there is a free Taipei day tour. I'd look into renting your own car for the day from Taoyuan and exploring northern Taiwan as well. Companies like Avis and Chailease are not too expensive where you can get a car for $60-80 a day, even cheaper with a KKDay voucher.
