Air China - generally one stop enroute to London, Paris, Frankfurt, Copenhagen, Madrid, Rome, Geneva, Athens (and many more, these are just examples).

I've personally flown Air China from Vancouver to/from Japan, via Beijing - they were 'fine' - standard movies, food etc. I was less happy with Beijing airport who confiscated my power brick - "you can't bring this into China!". I was in transit, and it was MADE in China! :P

Dates are roughly October through end of December, including some good prices if you're flying back on Christmas day!

        They are based in Beijing. Comparing to QF, newer plane, better service (younger crew and can help with luggage, just Asian hospitality), and food has better flavour to Asian palate (QF is just down right bad even in business class).

        Downside, a rowdy Chinese crowd compare to the usual bogan in QF.

        Nothing like China Airlines (Taiwan based), service level is closer to the Japanese.

        Anyone going with QF over the Asian/Gulf carriers for the same money must have a particular fetish to QF/Joyce.

    • itx on 23/08/2024 - 21:57
      +2

      They just have very strict rules in relation to powerbanks - all powerbanks have to be taken out and separately screened at security checkpoints, and the powerbanks themselves must clearly state the capacity on them (usually just the mAh, but the overzealous ones want to see the wattage as well). If the information is missing, or if the powerbank exceeds limits (100Wh iirc), it'll most likely be confiscated

    • twdjlzl on 23/08/2024 - 22:51

      i pretty sure they change the rule recently but i think the max u can take on the plane is zmi QB826G 210w which is around 25000mAh

      Not only is this fear mongering bullshit about the 737 Max (which is used by Virgin and previously Bonza). But these flights are long haul. The 737 Max couldn’t even fly that far.

      The planes used appear to be Boeing 787s and 777s

            @xoom: Saw a few docos on the 737 MAX, likely safe, but personally would avoid just to express a personal opinion. Not that it matters to both the airline or Boeing.

            Though, I wonder what else is not known about the Boeing culture or other hidden new tech aside from MCAS.

    We used Air China in China a couple of times and thought they were just as good (if not better) as our domestic carriers (virgin and Qantas). Even for 1 or 2 hour journey they would give meals and water. Their staff is extremely courteous and helpful; much more customer focused in my humble opinion. And the air planes were newer compared to older stuff that we've usually got here domestically. Can't comment on their international flights though. From the domestic experience I can only assume their international service to be better.

      just another stigma against china. their airplanes are new, mostly boeing and airbus, unlike some SEA and developing countries still fly atr 72 that crashed in brazil. also out of millions flights to serve the billions population, apart from 1 pilot suicided years ago, there wasn't a crash case in recent memory.

      • Kabana88 on 24/08/2024 - 02:17

        So ATR 72 is not safe? Just want to know what I need to avoid after reading about the crash in Brazil.

          +1

          ATR72’s are safe. Unfortunately the majority of incidents related to them are icing related. Some airlines opted to pull them from cold climates on purpose.

          The most recent tragedy is still too recent for any kind of even preliminary reports so wait and see. I fly them regularly (based in Europe, but not Nordic northern areas of freezing winters) and im still here :)

    I took Air China to Spain last year. Very very good flight, nice service, good food. The only thing I can complain about is the space of each seat is not as big as Air Singapore but still bigger than Jetstar.

    Will also have 1 day for each way in Beijing to enjoy the hotpot and Roasting duck.

    Highly recommended.

    Those who are further adamant in being sceptical towards air China, here's some comparison for you:

    Qantas: Total fleet size 259, average age of planes 14.9 years, punctuality 75%

    Air China: Total fleet size 497, average age of planes 9.3 years, punctuality 87%

    Let the numbers talk themselves.

    • ANoobishFellow on 24/08/2024 - 14:40

      Punctuality isn't the issue mate, it's safety. Air China has had a number of safety issues (screws coming loose from a wing, fires on the plane, etc.)

      • npnp on 24/08/2024 - 16:39

        The probability of you meeting with an accident on your way to the airport in a taxi is much higher than on the flight itself. So let's not take the taxi as well then, right? This is what happens when people just listen to media without considering the actual statistics.

        • ANoobishFellow on 24/08/2024 - 17:10

          It's your call. I know I'd rather fly with an airline that has a higher track record of safety/maintenance.

      Cathay is the most over rated airline, old planes, absolutely miserable staff, the food is slop, it was so bad, even in business when I was flying for work, I just stopped taking food at all and would eat in the lounges which are very good

    • Nom on 24/08/2024 - 23:58

      Erm, speech that incites violence is equally illegal in Australia - https://stoppublicthreats.legalaid.nsw.gov.au/about-the-laws… - and plenty of other nations too.

      If you would be more comfortable travelling to a London that didn't criminalise hate speech or inciting violence, then I don't think you've thought this through. What if the hate and violence was directed at you ?
