Although it appears to be one of those hard shell seat, I am dying to fly and try one on my upcoming trip! Looks great!
Time for some run for money to EVA AIR!

Apparently the link was just a BETA page
Someone leaked the link of page to the public and CI is now temporarily closing the webpage.
Wondering when CI will re-publicise the page.

This is a really nice cabin in all three classes. There's a homey feel to the atmosphere, with the gold and wood grain adding warmth to offset the neutral greys.

Hi kaichinshih,

Can you perhaps add a bit information about the Economy Class as well?

seabosdca · Fri Jun 27, 2014 3:48 pm

Wow, that purple and gold lighting scheme in the Business Class photo looks garish.

Seats look nice, though.

My apologies Karel, but I failed to get to the Economy Class page before the webpage got shut down.
(It's a BETA version and shouldn't have been publicised)
However, I wrote a post earlier about the Economy Class Family Couch

kaitak · Fri Jun 27, 2014 4:17 pm

Looks terrific!

I like the colours in J Class, though I don't how there is so much distance between the seat and the window (even for the window seats).

Not long to go now. The first aircraft, B-18051, has been assigned LN 1227, so at the current rate of production, it should be delivered in mid-to-late August - which I think was the original plan anyway.

anstar · Fri Jun 27, 2014 4:55 pm

Looks great - I really like the colour scheme too..

AA777223 · Fri Jun 27, 2014 6:50 pm

That J seat looks like the same one the LH is using for their new J class on the 748 (and what is being retrofitted to the A380 in parallel config)

fanofairliners · Fri Jun 27, 2014 9:06 pm

Looking good.

Really looking forward to trying these out between Taipei and the states. cannot wait. My family and I have waited long enough and have stuck through with CI hoping this day would come.

The J class bar and seats all look awesome, and does feel like its source of inspiration, the Eslite bookstores.

The premium economy class looks more comfortable and functional than BR's, hopefully that translates to reality.

thanks for sharing this amazing news!

62 PE is quite high, must be 8 across,looks like from the photos there are 4 rows J in B cabin, at 10 across Y they would need to do 8 across at the rear B cabin for PE to get to 62

I did not expect anything else than 8Y for Premium Economy.

Not the same as the ones installed by LH but they are similar to the ones installed by US, CX, BR, AA with 1 - 2 -1 config.

The CI one is the B/E Aerospace Super Diamond Seats, used by AC, QR...
The rival seat is the Zodiac Cirrus Seats, used by BR, AF, CX, AA, US, and MU in a few months....

It is actually the same 'seat', but a different shell. Qatar Airways also have that seat, now in both this version and the LH version in their new all-J A320.

The Premium Economy looks very comfortable!

So it is similar to the one LH is installing in their new all J A-320 but not B748. As far as I know, unless LH is retrofitting its B748 with new J class seats again, the ones on B748 are not similar to the one that CI has here.

No, no. Qatar now has all-J-A320s (not LH!) with the same seat LH is installing in their widebodies.

Those seats are the same both Qatar and now China Airlines are installing in their widebodies, but with this different shell in a 1-2-1 configuration. The seat is the same, the shell it is packed into is different to the Lufthansa config. With seat I don't mean the entire thing, just the plain 'chair' if you want to call it that.

KarelXWB · Wed Jul 02, 2014 8:01 pm

Info about the economy seats has been released:

http://www.ausbt.com.au/china-airlin...rst-business-premium-economy-class

The economy section includes 20 three-seat rows which fold out into a 'Family Couch', as shown in this cabin mock-up:

The economy cabin is configured in a standard 3-4-3 layout. All economy seats use a slimline design from Zodiac Aerospace with a 32 inch pitch and a recline up to 116 degrees, compared to the current 106 degrees. Each passenger gets a 11.1 inch HD video screen.

3-4-3 ? Rather fly EVA with its 3-3-3.

The seats that fold out? Won't they encourage people to not be belted in?

The plane looks nice on the outside. Very purposeful expression of the bird.

You might have noticed the belt straps in the footrests so you can buckle up even when lying down

Carfield · Thu Jul 03, 2014 5:37 pm

It is certainly a nice plane and China Airlines has stepped up its game in business class and premium economy class. However I don't know if it is a smart move to change to ten abreast seating, while your main competition still offers nine abreast seating. EVA Air has surely reduced its legroom in economy class but it is still nine abreast seating. That does not help the general TW public to view China Airlines as a top rated airline.

I have a feeling that China Airlines is dodging the 3-4-3 question, while focusing on the family couch concept.
But given how TW uses its social media, China Airlines can't really escape that line of questioning. If it sort of does a 34" legroom, people might be okay with it.

But I just wish the seat map to be released soon!

If their seats are anything like LHs slim seats, 32 in pitch on the 77W will equate to a good 33 + with a regular seat.

Zone C

Is that real photo or simulated picture?
Is it my eye or what, the dark blue strips on the nose seems much slimmer than it should be?
The two color strips starting from the nose, if I am not wrong, should be of equal width and extend downwards and end somewhere before the main wing section.
