[@Waldo1411]

I think China Airlines A350 has the most beautiful and well-designed cabin. Business Class looks so elegant!

[@ziaurkhan9908]

I think China Airlines has a self-service snack bar in the back of the plane, on their long haul flights, even in economy class. I guess that allows the cabin crew to rest, while most of the passengers sleep on these ultra long flights.

[@steph8022]

Thanks for taking us along with you. I've been wanting to visit Taipei for a while now and the A350 looks great 👌

[@FlyAround]

Wow! 14 hours in Economy Class. That's a super long flight but the A350 is probably my number choice for a flight like this. Isn't the livery beautiful? ☝🏽

[@PlaneSpottingBerlin]

Yes the aircraft is perfect for a long flight like this. Or even the A380 would do well.

[@ttafadzwa]

I love the vlog format with the voice commentary. Keep it up!

[@JaydenWong]

wow the biz cabin still looks charming when you disembarked, wonderful video Patrick!

[@lloydallancabunoc4561]

I had a great experience with China Airlines when I went to Vienna in 2017.. good food, great cabin and cabin crews.

[@Dragflyer9669]

Thanks for sharing this wonderful trip report. I always wanted to try China Airlines A350. The service and product are fabulous.

[@inselvideo]

Toller Tripreport von deinem langen Flug, wirklich klasse gemacht! An LAX erinnere ich mich auch gern. Daumen hoch! Gruss inselvideo!

[@GenkisTravels]

Awesome video. I love flying out of LAX out of the international terminal.

[@PlaneSpottingBerlin]

Thanks a lot mate!

[@shihlin1]

Last time I flew on CAL in Dec. 2019, also there was no beverage/snack service between the two meals. I'm glad you pointed this out bc I thought it was coincidental that it only happened on my flight. Now I realize it was no coincidence. That's a big No-No on a 14-hour flight with no snacks or beverage service on such a long flight. Of course now during the age of Covid, you're just lucky to make it to your destination without catching anything sick during your flight.

[@RashadKhanAviation2023]

Great video mate! LAX is amazing!

Welcome to Taiwan

[@Itsyaboystevehere]

Your so lucky that you went on a A350-900 to Taipei! I went on a China Airlines Boeing 777-300(ER) which is bigger than the A350-900 but the A350-900 is my favorite plane

[@pauloverissimo8595]

Nice video

[@clerouxbotha2784]

Love the Air NZ livery....that black makes a statement

[@PlaneSpottingBerlin]

Yes it is so pretty ;) I already flew on that aircraft 2 times.

[@s0upra536]

China Airlines will always be my favorite airline. From learning about how they did in the 80s-early 2000s, its amazing to see just how great their doing now. Sucks they retired their 747s, but the a350 looks beautiful!

[@PlaneSpottingBerlin]

Great airline. I also flew the 747 on the next flight ;) Video is online on my channel!

In half a year im going for a two week trip to china with my whole mandarin class and the flights fourteen hours so this gave me a little heads up what to expect thx ✈️

Have a good time there. Remember to take an additional bottle of water from the airport on the plane

This would be my favorite airline to go to China!!!!

Welcome to Taiwan !

[@vladimirterziev3119]

Hi,i'm just wondering how much you paid for the Around The World Ticket? It's seems you had a great time during the journey :)

[@PlaneSpottingBerlin]

I don't know how much exactly. But the flights were around 2000€ as I booked them all separately with different airlines/alliances.

[@stefanschafer6816]

Wieder mal ein top Report... Wie waren deine Erfahrungen mit dem Skytrain am Airport? Mein Kumpel sagte, der sei nicht wirklich schnell.

[@PlaneSpottingBerlin]

Danke. Wie nicht schnell? Also musste glaube ich nur 3 min warten und die Fahrt dauert ca. 2-3min

[@steventurner820]

14 hours, I did that in a 777 once on China Southerns JFK to Guangzhou route

[@xavierdewang]

China Southern is from Mainland China,and China airlines is a Taiwanese national airlines.

[@johnsymons76]

Nice review. I love the Business Class design of China Airlines! Would be interested to know if there was a snack/drink bar for Economy Class passengers to use between meal services. I know that there is one for Business Class. One question for you, wasn't a RTW(Round The World)fare available for purchase when you made your reservations? I bought one years ago on Singapore Airlines and TWA and it was a great bargain! Take care and Happy Travels! ♥️🛫🌐

[@PlaneSpottingBerlin]

Thank you. I never looked how much all flights would be together... maybe it could have been cheaper but i had some special routes and more than one Alliance to fly on...

[@johnsymons76]

@@PlaneSpottingBerlin Thanks for your reply! Not many KZbinrs do so. I appreciate it!

[@PlaneSpottingBerlin]

No problem. Always try to reply if it is possible ;)

Is the lounge included in your fare? Do you have to be a member

[@PlaneSpottingBerlin]

No the lounge is not included in Economy Class. I have a Priority Pass Membership that allows me to access 1400 lounges around the world for 300€/year no matter what airline or class you fly. Check out my link in the video description- you can get 10% off by using that link ;)

try premium economy. It is a lot better

[@incpinto]

great ... all the lounges have shower facilities??

Thanks. No not every lounge has showers and sometimes you even have to pay extra. So went to a lounge where that service was free.

[@SLone3251]

16:30 -- I wonder if your flight ran out of breakfast and gave you dinner leftovers because those chicken noodles you were served is not breakfast. The choice is usually congee or an omelette.

[@PlaneSpottingBerlin]

Maybe. But even then - the meals had similar contents but didn't look the same - so there was a difference. Also i am happy to have gotten that over your suggested choices - didn't like the congee on my Air China flights (Frankfurt Catering) and omlette is mostly dreadful in Economy 😅

[@SLone3251]

@@PlaneSpottingBerlin I guess, to each their own. Haha. But I know for fact you should not be getting chicken noodles for breakfast. I have flown this route for YEARS and at least for breakfast, the choices are always the same. Congee or an omelette.

[@PlaneSpottingBerlin]

Maybe it is different on which of the 2 daily flights you arrive on? Departure in LAX was 3 p.m. and arrival into Taipei was 9:30 p.m. (not really breakfast time, is it?).

[@SLone3251]

@@PlaneSpottingBerlin I have taken that same time slot many times, as well as the ONT-LAX (back when the airline serviced Ontario Intl in Ontario, CA) -- the breakfast has never changed for over a decade. And flights serve meals based off the time zone of origin, so even if you are landing at night in TPE, it's morning in LA, so they serve based off that.
