    Wow Hainan Airlines looks very impressive. It's like a cheap business class! Amenity kit, hot towels, a menu with a wide range of choices! It looks amazing! No wonder it is in the top 10 airlines in the world!

    • @TXnine7nine

      I've only gotten amenity kits and menus once while sitting in economy class. Was on a Qatar A300 between FRA and DOH in 2004.

    The one thing I do like about the A330 is the 2 - 4 - 2 seating in economy, makes it really nice if you can grab a two seat.
    Amenity Kit, Menu's , that's a great economy service. Thanks for posting.

      Air Asia and Cebu Pacifc run their A330s in 9 seats 3-3-3. Some airlines run their 9-seat planes in a 2-5-2 though. Theoretically a 747, 777, A350, or A380 could be run in a 2-6-2 setup on the main deck.

    I first took Hainan Airlines from Mel to Beijing for return trips, costing me only $450 AUD, around $400 USD during 2017-2018 Christmas. I was a bit shock to see the menu onboard. It was like a business class menu and the food tasted so damn good. !! They have creamy mushroom spaghatti with turkey slices! Mouss cakes as a refreshment!

  • @matthewmartin7639

    I grew up in Haikou, the capital of Hainan Island in the south China Sea (lived in China for about 12 years). Our apartment was maybe a mile away from the big central road in the city which was also the old runway for the old Daiyangshan airport before they built Meilan International outside the city. The original (and still used) headquarters for Hainan Air is still on that road although the majority of the airline is now run out of Beijing. While I never flew "international" (a few trips to Hong Kong on Hong Kong Air. Part of the Hainan Air Group) and never long haul, they were my go to airline for domestic flights inside the country. Nice staff, at least one cabin crew member is required to be able to be conversational in English should a "Westerner" (like me or my father who also flew with them alot) happens to be on board, even on domestic routes. They usually have china daily newspapers printed in English. And just overall better service than the other Chinese airlines. I'll always love this airline, even though I'll probably never fly on them again sadly.
    Edit: the building on the magazine cover at 4:16 mark is the building I'm talking about!!! That's the Hainan Air headquarters in Haikou.
    Second edit, I lived over there from 2001-2013. During those years Hainan really was ahead of it's time and set the standard for what most Chinese airlines now offer as standard.

    Great work Felix, not a lot of Hainan Airlines trip reports on here. Product looks pretty good for economy, similar to standards Iv`e had with Emirates, even the amenity kit. Good to see Hainan introducing a new service to Edinburgh from June 2018. If I head back to Korea soon, I think I will skip the Middle East and go via Beijing, a few days there then head to Seoul. New airline for me as well as a new country. I always find your work informative and interesting, thanks.

Hated that the inflight magazine was all in Mandarin. Pfffft. Nice sunrises 14:04 and 14:56. Pork for breakfast? Umm...okay. It's China. The rest of it was more breakfasty hehe. Smooth landing in Beijing. Nice report.

I have found some cheap business class tickets on Hainan and might fly with them. This gave me a bit of an idea on what to look for. Thanks for another great video!
