China Airlines

I booked business class seats for my daughter and elderly father to travel Sydney to Frankfurt via Taipei. They could not have been happier with the service provided including wheelchair assistance at Taipei and Frankfurt airports. Food very good but most impressive was the attention care and respect shown by staff towards my 88 year old father.

JFK New York -Taipei was one of the worst flights we've been on. Very old planes with uncomfortable seats and no personal TV's in seats. For such a long flight it was extremely unpleasant. They played some very old movies on the small ancient overhead TV's. All in all it was the cheapest flight we could get at the last minute so if there's any consolation that would be it. We got what we paid for.

HKG-LAX via TPE. TPE-LAX flight was good as they offered me 2 meals plus a snack. IFE was not bad and they have most of the current popular movies on there. Business Class section was somewhat cold most of the flight but they did give me 2 blankets. HKG-TPE was at best a 5/10. The cabin was cold and they offered only a snack and a drink (they claimed to give 2 drinks on short-haul Business Class cabin).
