    I think Starlux is the only airline to have their chairman flying their inaugural flights. It showed how much he care about the airline and love aviation. IFE of JX A350 is awesome. The catering service was brilliant. This was the most special inaugural flight among the inaugural flights out there

    A small country in Asia owns 3 International Airlines, and also owns 3 international Container Sea Lines! Great! Taiwan not only has the world No. 1 Semiconductor Company- TSMC, but also has the top high -tech manufacturing companies in the world! Last year this country's per capital GDP has surpassed Eastern Asian countries' level! May God Speed on Formosa! No Invasion by CCP to this lovely Democratic Island!

    Great video with nice annotations on the flight.
    I'm not the least bit surprised the flight went so smoothly.
    CEO K.W. Chang is a driven boss who has high expectations of himself and his staff.
    Just read the Taipei-San Francisco route will begin before end of this year.
    The one thing I was surprised was there were no goodie bags given to the inaugural flight passengers.
    Many times Chinese airlines will hand out goody bags before boarding as a symbol of appreciation and good fortune on special flights.

      Of course most if not all folks in Taiwan know abt what happened to him and his siblings that I'll refrain from going into here (Google it).
      I've no doubt he'll shape Starlux into another five-star airline.

    One Question: did the crew locked the dimmable windows during the flight or were you able to dim them individually by your own?

    • @PilotKev170
      @PilotKev170  Рік тому

      At 22:22, I believe it was locked for some time (when it was also dark outside)

      The disadvantage of some a350 /777x airlines is that some airlines like istarlux, in the futur will opt for dimmable windows that can easily be locked by the Flight attendants.
