Yeah, I was worried that I was going to be charged an arm and a leg but the guy at check in didn't say anything. |

Flying Air China within China:
They didn't weigh our checked baggage at all.
They didn't weigh our carry on baggage. For all seats except the row where the emergency exit was, they didn't care if anything was on the floor during take off and landing.
The emergency row seat nearest the window was broken on both sides of the plane: there really shouldn't have been a seat there.
Outside of the emergency exit row, there was no space for my legs in regular economy. It was the worst 3hrs40mins I've experienced in my life...actually add an hour for the time we spent on the ground waiting to be cleared.
I will NEVER fly with them again if I can get away with it. |
I'm not surprised by any of that. I've heard similar accounts from other people who've used internal flights within China.
I've no personal experience of Air China but I wonder if flying with them internally within China is very different from flying with them internationally.
That was definitely the case with Aeroflot in the old Soviet days. Some utterly frightening things re basic safety and security would regularly happen on internal flights. But they obviously knew they couldn't get away with those kind of things without being banned from the airspace of the countries they flew to internationally. So their international flights, whilst nothing spectacular in terms of comfort or service, did at least get the basics right. |
