pixielonghaul flew China Airlines Dynasty Supreme Class (Business), on a A330-300 (28/01/2011 12:13)

I travelled from Taipei to Denpasser Bali in Biz class. Flight to Denpasser was excellent, food fabulous and service first class. Wish the lounge had a clock in Taipei as I had to dash for the flight, no announcement. return flight again fabulous service beyond excellence, most hospital and helpful staff. I found the pillow a bit too big on return flight and the seats a bit old but otherwise the service with this airline was outstanding. Will be using them in the future on all flight long haul and short.

J.AKIMOTO flew China Airlines Dynasty Supreme Class (Business), on a A330-300 (08/01/2009 04:53)

I was boarding China Airlines A330-300 Business Class from Japan to Singapore via Taipei August, 2008.

Origin City was Fukuoka, I arrived at Fukuoka Airport International Terminal 7:30AM. Check-in started 7:50AM, I finished smooth Check-in and immigration, then I entered CI Dynasty Lounge. CI has own Lounge at Fukuoka, but is small. Lounge food is snack and drink, but JAL Sakura Lounge do not have snack, drink only, so I feel Dynasty Lounge is better than JAL Sakura lounge about Fukuoka Airport International Terminal.

Boarding time was 9:40AM, I sit down 5A, seat was type of shell. Despite Seat is not lie flat, but I think aircraft is very good because CI's A330 is new aircraft, total design renewal old A330. For example, Overhead bin and Lavatory design is cutting Edge rather than old A330. After 30 minutes boarding, CI111 was departure on time.

After take off, Crew served drink and meal. First, I drunk a Champagne, Drappier. And I could choice western style meal or Japanese style meal. I choose Japanese style and taste was good. Fukuoka to Taipei, it was short flight. After about 2 hours, CI111 was landing Taipei on time and I went to Dynasty lounge.

Next 4 hours, 3:25PM, I went out Dynasty Lounge Taipei Terminal 1 and was boarding Taipei to Singapore flight, CI661. 2008-2009 Winter timetable, this flight No. changed CI751. Departure was on time too, and very smooth flight. CI's A330-300 has AVOD system, so I think very good. But I disappointed a little this system, because system working very slowly and sometimes not working. I claimed cabin crew, they were repair my AVOD system quickly. After 4 hours 30 minutes, CI661 was landing at Singapore Changi Airport on time.

Return flight, CI662 to Taipei, I arrived at 6:30 Changi Airport. I was on-line Check-in 24 hours before, I knew this flight Schedule change 8:30AM, original Schedule was 8:10AM. After immigration, I went to the Lounge. CI used CX Lounge at Changi Airport, so good facility, snacks, and hot soup.

CI662, now called CI752, was departure on time 8:30AM, then 2 hours later takeoff, crew served breakfast meal. I could choice Chicken or fish, I choose fish. I feel CI’s meal is high quality and good taste. CI662 was no trouble until arriving at Taipei, so landing on time.

Final flight, CI110, Taipei to Fukuoka, was full because of Japan’s summer vacation season. After all, cabin crew was very busy. CI business class was not cut service desipte short route, Taipei to Fukuoka. It seemed Galley was very crowed, but CI crew finished business class service perfectly. I think CI crew was professional and have proud hers job. I feel I was experience service from China Airlines and say Thank you CI110 crew.
