Air China Business Class - What's it really like?

Beijing to Sydney in business class with Air China. What's it really like?
On this flight review I show the full Air China business class experience from the Air China business class lounge through to boarding the Boeing 777 and then the onboard Air China business class experience. This included the inflight meals, entertainment system, the Air China business class seat which converts into a fully flat bed, the amenities provided and the views out the window. Those views included us flying the full length of the Great Barrier Reef as we flew down the Queensland coast.
This flight was the second leg of my journey from London Heathrow to Sydney Australia with Air China. The first leg from Heathrow to Beijing was disappointing, it was on an old A330, so I was hoping for a better experience this time.
Join me and we'll see what it was really like.
Here’s the link I mentioned in the video:

It feels so nostalgic hearing Dennis' intro music

[@VisualApproach]

We all look forward to going back to these days where we can fly wherever and whenever we want! Congratulations on 100k Dennis.

YES! I was hoping of flying to Switzerland in May, I might have to wait till September the way things are going ☹️

The thing I like about your content is that you’re not biased or rude about your feedback. It’s always honest and constructive about your experiences.

It's 130 am here in California, and I've happy I'm not asleep yet so I can get a "herr's to a great flight." Got my first shot a week ago and hoping things return to normalish soon

[@Steve-hc5sw]

Missed those videos Dennis , let’s hope we can get back in the air soon. Thanks for loading video, and as already mentioned who doesn’t whistle along to the opening tune. Cheers Dennis from snowy England

[@VicariousVoyager]

Oh, btw, there are some pretty nice showers in the lower level of the business lounge in PEK, just gotta ask!

[@DennisBunnikTravels]

Thanks mate, good tip - will check them out next time. cheers D

[@wompwomp8032]

Great review! Two years ago I got to fly Air China first class on their 777-300 from Houston to Beijing. It was a great experience that doesn’t get enough appreciation. Thanks for all the memories Dennis!

[@PaulStewartAviation]

Great to see you back D! WOW I got a spine tingle when those GE90s spooled up!

[@Anonymous551656]

Here's to a great flight! - And many more great flights to come!

[@anderspersson6134]

Thanks Dennis for bringing us back the joy of travelling in these weird times. Fondly remember an Air France flight to the Seychelles w incredible food, great wine and terrific crew from Paris. I miss it...the lack of travel makes you realize which flights and which places that were special.

[@paulkalokerinos1791]

Good to see your video again. Congratulation on the 100k

Good to see you back on KZbin Dennis, I know it must be incredibly difficult for you during this crisis. I really hope you see a boom of bookings as soon as its safe. Wishing you all the best, hope to visit Australia soon!

[@KirsteyWhicker]

Great to see you Vlogs again Dennis!! Even if it is just to dream!! (Not being able to travel anywhere is absolutely driving me MAD!) I must say, the menu on Air China looked pretty good! Your shots also reminded me how fabulous I always feel flying back into Australia! We are so lucky to live in the most spectacular country!! So beautiful! Kirstey

Thank you Dennis, a very welcome episode after more than 12 months. Had to shut my eyes when the engines went into take off mode.....ah the sweet memory. Trust you will be able to resume your travel tales very soon and hope to be on the same flight! Best wishes for the resumption of your business after a year best forgotten. Cheers.

[@DennisBunnikTravels]

Thanks Otto, yes it has felt good to post a proper review again and reminisce about how things used to be. Things will open up and we'll be able to travel again - it will just take some time. cheers D

Windows on the left couldnt agree more. Flew QF130 in 2018 and sat in a left Window seat and it was a stunning flight from sunrise to the views of the east coast

[@LetsJamFunk]

8:40 another great reason to choose the window seat when flying PEK-SYD. The views over Sydney CBD and Botany Bay are not just stunning, but almost nostalgic, especially for an Aussie overseas.
