Flew Mandarin Airlines (an ofshoot of China Airlines) from Taichung in Taiwan to Hong Kong. Check-in, although relatively quick, was a problem in that my baggage seemed to weigh 29 Kg and the counter attendant was adament that I had to pay excess luggage. Explained to her that my luggage had weighed 20 kg a week earlier flying to Taiwan and there was no additional items. She would not listen and in a loud voice repeated her call for me to pay extra. Fortunately, my Taiwanes colleague who was seeing me of noticed that when I took by luggage of, the scales indicated 9kg. She reset it and my luggage now weighed 20 kg. She was not graceful about her mistake. The flight itself was pleasant, reasonable leg pitch, a nice wrap for breakfast with good coffee, and pleasant staff. Will fly this airline again, but will be wary of wrongly set luggage scales.
