All three look pretty good to me.

Your most exciting aircraft swaps

Hi guys

After the thread “your most disappointing aircraft swaps”, what are now your most exciting aircraft swaps?

For me it was in 2015, on an CA flight from PEK to SHA, we went from an A330 to a mighty 747-8

What about you ?

Re: Transiting through LHR or FRA?

That means your departure airport is Charles de Gaulle. Have you considered the direct CDG-TPE flight on EVA Air instead? Alternatively, how about transferring in Amsterdam? There are no less than 3 airlines flying AMS-TPE. KLM, China Airlines and EVA Air. Amsterdam is an "all under one roof&q...

Re: Transiting through LHR or FRA?

For both options, the first flight operated by AF and the second flight operated by China Airlines.
No terminal change for both options (Terminal 3 in LHR, terminal 2 in FRA).
Thank you guys for your replies

Transiting through LHR or FRA?

Hi guys I have the choice between a layover in FRA or in LHR for a flight to TPE (CDG-LHR-TPE or CDG-FRA-TPE). FRA: 2 hours LHR: 5 hours I have a meeting in Taipei the day after and I don’t want to miss my connection. I read that connections at LHR are not easy, but the layover time is quite importa...

Questions about China Airlines

Hi guys
How is China Airlines compared to other Asian carriers ?
Also, as a Skyteam member, I have always wondered why they don’t fly to CDG. Your guess?

Which airline has now (post Covid) the best Y class?

I flew SQ in Y many times before Covid, and they were top notch. Unfortunately, I read many flight reports and it seems that now, they are not better than “standard” airlines in Y: for example, no more oshiboris offered , food tray has become small… I have also very good memories from Korean Air : I...

Connection at PPT (Papeete, Tahiti)

Hi, what is the minimum connecting time at PPT? I have 2 choices: - either buying 1 ticket CDG-PPT-HUH with French Bee with 1h45 connecting time - either buying 2 separate tickets: CDG-PPT then PPT-HUH: in that case I would take a much longer connecting time (5 hours) Do you think it is ok? Thanks R...

A350XWB not so wide cabin…

Hi guys I have flown the A350 for the first time and I was a bit disappointed with the cabin interior. Indeed, I thought that cabin width difference with the 787 would be more noticeable: in fact, for me, a 9-abreast A350 seems as narrow as a 9-abreast 787, especially the aisles. I wonder how some a...
