Far Eastern Air Transport by Claus Dirnberger

17 July 2007

Palau-Taipei in business class. Total chaos at Palau airport: check in requires the visit of two check-in desks, one for the boarding pass, the other for dropping the baggage. Sounded rather complicated to me. Immigration in Palau equally chaotic - it took 35 mins to get through. Plane good (757), business class is old style with 40 inch seat pitch and minimal recline. Food OK, entertainment almost not existent, but the plane was clean and in good condition, and announcements were made in Chinese followed by English . Given that the airline is virtually unknown internationally, it was not a bad experience.

From Jeju (Korea) to Taipei and back. I was hesitant to fly with an "unknown" local Taiwanese company but I have to say that I was nicely surprised, the service is good and plane clean. The hostess are courteous and the planes looks internally and externally well-kept. The flight was pleasant and trouble free, even with a baby. Far much better from the china eastern flight I took from Shanghai to Jeju (which was baby unfriendly). I would compare Far Eastern Air transport as Dragonair, a bit more clean.
