I fly LAX to Taipei, then Chiangmai once a year. Last year, it was EVA Airlines. Next December, it will be China Airlines. They look comparable, except that China Airlines looks to have a much better entertainment system than Eva Airlines. Eva Airlines was also very crowded at check in. I wish that I could sleep on a plane. Thanks for your review, very detailed.

China airlines has a more sleek and more comfertable design when it comes down to the cabin. I highly suggest China Airlines over EVA Air because EVA Air has a old design unlike China airlines. China Airlines also has a better cabin crew which I also love.
@_w_w_7 ай бұрын
@@EditV1be I disagree. The new "sleek" cabin comes at a cost - they really really densified it. B777 or A350, China Airlines made the cabin very dense with 30-31" leg room. On top of it, their seat padding is ridiculously hard. EVA is better in almost all regards.

Just so you know, the food is pretty bad. Not China Airlines' issue but LAX and SFO catering are horrible. On your reverse flight from Taipei, the food is 100% better. Another problem is China Airlines does not have overhead air vent and they have the tendency to leave the cabin super warm. I've left their flights with heat exhaustion in several instances.

I fly China Airline and other carriers based in East Asia several times a year, name it short haul or long haul. My main issue with China Airline is that their service is not the most consistent and their flight attendants can be surprisingly unprofessional from time to time. If you are seeking for some consistency to make the trip more enjoyable (less unbearable), other carriers such as EVA, ANA, or JAL might be your better options 😄 but China Airline is often always less pricey across all classes 😅

Agreed! I am SkyTeam Elite Plus and I am forced to fly China Airlines constantly because Delta pulled out of TPE and China Eastern reduced flight frequency to/from Mainland China. China Airlines flight attendants can be super rude and some are even racist. If I speak to them in Chinese, they would throw attitude at me even for very basic requests. However, if I speak to them in English, the attitude is enormously better. I think this comment is very accurate based on my hundred of flights with China Airlines.

if you want to get a good night's sleep I recommend upgrading to premium economy, China Airlines offers saffran airgo FX premium seats that have a bigger screen, good leg space, and their own hard shell so you don't have to worry about the person in front to recline into you, or you reclining into the person behind, and you get similar service to that of business class and an upgraded meal and 12 hours of complimentary wifi, if you ever choose to do so, i would suggest booking the front row seats for more leg room and fast access to the lavatory.

That premium econ seat is the worst!!!! Foot rest in the worst place, very limited recline due to the cocoon design, and rock hard seat padding and back... to top it off, that giant airbag on the seat belt. I've a frequent flyer and I have literally turned down a free upgrade into premium econ on regional flights. Once you try the premium econ seat on US airlines, you will never take China Airlines'.

@@banditegg5675 No one wants someone to recline into them. There is nothing stopping a non-cocoon seat to have more but constrained recline. Plus, in prem econ, the seat pitch is much more generous, even a bit of extra recline isn't had bad as in econ. I will just say the prem econ seats used by US airlines, the Recaro PL3530 series, also the same seat as domestic first class, are far superior to China Airlines' Zodiac Airgo FX... It's the same seat as JAL's. They are my least favorite seats. By the way, Taiwanese generally copy everything the Japanese does because of historic cultural reasons. When US airline update their prem econ to PL3810, it will be an even bigger game changer. In general, Safran Zodiac's seat designs are not very good. Recaro is far superior.

At Dallas, make sure you check the luggage through and to Vietnam. If you have an overnight in Taipei, then they will have you pull the luggage in Taipei. Otherwise, it check through Vietnam. At LAX, unless your Dallas check-in agent screws up, you shouldn't need to pick up. China Airlines use TBIT terminal and Delta is at T2 or T3. There is an airside bus you can take between T2/T3 and TBIT.

I flew on China Airlines from Manila - Taipei - Los Angeles. There was nothing wrong with the service or the flights. I just didn't like the food that they served because I didn't like it and it looked like cooked canned dog food. Maybe it was just an unlucky flight for the meals at that time. Anyway for me the most important thing was a safe flight as I can always have something to eat later that I like. Next time we go back to the Philippines I'm planning to fly on Korean Airlines as I prefer the seating arrangements in economy on their 777 by having a 3-3-3 configuration instead of the 3-4-3 configurations that most airlines have. I have broad shoulders and it's not fun being cramped for 12 or 13 hours. I just need that little extra room.
