    Air China A350-900 was modern. I love that trash bin in the toilet is auto, a feature that I think is more necessary than a modern cabin or extra legroom

    Good to see that Air China still uses a relatively roomy configuration for economy class. You could try Air China's classic 747-400 on the domestic route between PEK and SHA/CAN/SZX. Another interesting choice is CN3's C919, currently MU operates its fleet on SHA to TFU/XIY/PKX/CAN and PKX to XIY routes.

    Always nice flights from Milan to Beijing with Air China, I did that same trip several times now. A350-900 is simply amazing, both premium eco and business class are pretty nice (not at same level of Singapore airlines, Emirates etc of course, but good enough). Crew nice, and not too much “invasive” with noises and services. From point A to point B a good experience, nothing more nothing less. A major adv: Air China is one of the few flying over Russia now and this saves a lot of time. Lat but not least: Air China call center is efficient

      My impression of Air China is the same as yours. Of course we are still talking about the A350-900, because if you fly on an old A330-300 the impression can change

      In the personal opinion of an economic traveler who has traveled to Milan Shanghai every three weeks for 6 months with both Emirates and Air China is that Airbus is much better, quieter, with more spacious toilets, newer interiors and better air. The seats and the space are generous. On Emirates they now use Boing 787 which is very uncomfortable and with very old screens. In addition, I think that the Chinese staff is punctual in enforcing the order on board, serves water more frequently and in general gives me a greater sense of attention, even in helping with the luggage. I live in Shanghai and I often go there. If I'm not in Milan.

    Nice vlog...thank you. I flew Air China LHR to MNL on B777-3s immediately before the pandemic hiatus. The food was good and the cabin crew, despite having to struggle a bit with English, could not have been kinder or more attentive. Without being asked, they even found me an unoccupied row to lie down in.

    Very interesting video and reassuring about the quality of the flight! I'm taking a flight from Milan to Shanghai next week. Two doubts:
    Hand luggage: is it possible to bring a cabin trolley and a little backpack too? are they weighed and does the trolley need to be under 5kg/11lb?
    Once you have checked in online, can you print your boarding pass yourself or do you have to go to the airport desk to collect it? Thank you

    • @myflight

      Hi, regarding hand luggage you can bring a carry-on bag and a personal item. I don't know about the weight, I can't really tell you. I didn't print the ticket at home because I had a lot of difficulty doing the check-in. So since it opens three hours earlier at the airport I went to do it directly there.

    • @myflight
      @myflight  Місяць тому +1

      it's a really difficult choice to make but I think the Turkish A350 ones might be slightly more comfortable and the screens are definitely bigger

    Ciao! Io prenderò qyesto stesso volo a breve per poi arrivare in Giappone con un altro volo. Sai dirmi se con il biglietto economy hai 1 o due bagagli da stiva? Non si capisce na mazza dal loro sito... Grazie mille e gran bel video!!

    • @myflight

      Ciao, anch’io ho volato da Malpensa con scalo in Cina verso il Giappone. In teoria, è incluso un bagaglio a mano, uno in stiva e uno zaino piccolo. Ti avviso che, facendo scalo in Cina, potresti incontrare difficoltà, soprattutto ai controlli di frontiera. Ho avuto problemi anche con il check-in sul loro sito, ma da un computer portatile dovresti riuscire a completarlo senza problemi.

    Have you been able to check in online easily through the app? I read that it often causes issues, and you might need to do it at the airport.

      It wasn’t easy at all to check in through the site using my mobile. I also had some issues from the computer, but in the end, I managed to do it from the computer itself.

    very nice vlog! I'll take this same flight in a couple of months, i hae a few questions. Did you checked online or at malpensa airport? how was the stopover in Beijing (precise security, covid test necessary, and need to chechk again the luggage)? thank you very much ;)

    • @myflight
      @myflight  Місяць тому +1

      The flight was pretty smooth. Check-in is possible 36 hours before departure. I was only able to do it on a computer and not on a phone. If you have trouble you can also do it at the airport. I didn’t checked any baggage. In Beijing you didn't need a Covid test, but the security checks were very slow because there are only two lines for hundreds of people. I lost about an hour. The experience on Air China was very good, but at Beijing airport not so much

    Hi, is it possible to take a small bag with me (with my laptop and my camera) in addition to a normal trolley?

    • @myflight

      in the cabin you can bring with you a hand baggage and a small backpack, which means that in addition to the hand baggage you can also bring your small bag with your laptop and camera

    • @myflight
      @myflight  Місяць тому

      Ho già preso diversi voli con Ryanair o EasyJet all’interno dell’Italia. Ti posso dire che se il biglietto di Ita costa in più rispetto a quello delle low cost di 20/30€, ti conviene prendere la compagnia di bandiera. Un’altra buona opzione è Aeroitalia. Su uno specifico aereo, che apparteneva alla Japan Airlines, registrato come 9H-MAB, troverai i vecchi sedili della business class regionale giapponese. Il servizio è identico a quello della economy, che comprende un bicchiere d’acqua, un tè o un caffè. Comunque ti consiglio sempre di volare su ita perché hai il bagaglio a mano gratuito. Certo, se il volo costa 50€ in più conviene prenderti una low cost e pagare il bagaglio separatamente
