Air China

The Boeing 737 seemed a bit tired and no IFE. Food was minimal on PEK-HRB, a bit better on HRB-PEK. On the flight PER-HRB I sat in seat 13L that does not have any window. Seat 33A on the flight HRB-PEK was better. Seats are not very comfortable, but it is only a two hours flight. A reasonable 3-Star airline.

Brand new plane and emergency exit row seat gave a very good experience seat wise. All other seats were very much standard fair for a short haul configured modern plane.

One of Air China's newer planes and the seat is pretty standard fair. Much better than their B777 we had been on before though there is less shoulder room. Seats have new large PTVs that although they claimed to be touch screen on demand ones where actually just working as 15 looped channels on our flight.

Travellled from Shanghai to Beijing. Pillow and blanket (unwrapped) was found on each seat. No PTV on the domestic sector. Seat pitch was good (34") able to cross my legs without touching the seat in front of me. Seat cushion is fairly comfortable.

Seat SIN-BJS was better than expected. I think was a 34" pitch. For a mid-night flight of 6 hours I managed to get about 2 hours of shut eye. I'm not a good sleeper on flights. Was the seat fairly alright or the lack of PTV that there was nothing to do but sleep?
