It seems unlikely EK will expand in China given they recently downgauged DXB-PVG from a A380 to 77W and will be not be increasing PEK and CAN to A380's. They tried Zhengzhou and Yinchuan and ended those well before the pandemic. EY also recently canceled CAN-AUH and reduced frequencies in PVG and P...
Jump to postHi guys
EK currently flies to PEK, PVG and CAN.
Do they intend to fly to new routes with the arrival of the A350/789s? Maybe CTU/TFU, XIY, HGH ?
Thank you
Could the 737MAX go to Lufthansa « mainline » ?

Jump to postI can only speak as a Malaysian but the facts of life are if you're a Malaysian with tons of money and want to travel to Europe, you fly SQ. If you're Malaysian middle class who may not be flush with money but still can afford travel overseas, you fly with the ME3. You only fly MH if you have no ch...

Hi
Now that China has ended its « zero-Covid » policy, what are Chinese airlines waiting to relaunch their international network ?
From a more global approach, when will flights to and from China will be back to pre Covid norms?
Best regards

Hi guys
For a TPE-KIX flight, would you choose Eva Air or China Airlines? I will fly in Y.
Both Skyteam and Star Alliance are ok for me
Thank you
Hi guys
It seems that one of my favorite airlines has new issues : this time, one of their A332 flying from SEA to ICN had an IFSD

All three look pretty good to me.
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 ?

Thanks guys for the info.
I have finally chosen to transit through LHR
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...

No terminal change for both options (Terminal 3 in LHR, terminal 2 in 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).

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?

Jump to postI flew SQ in Y many times before Covid, and they were top notch.

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...
