China Airlines Review: Your Guide to Flying High (or Not!) in China! 🇨🇳
1. Shenzhen Airlines: Budget-Friendly but Beware the Delays!
- Looking for affordable flights in China? Shenzhen Airlines might be your answer! The flight attendants are known for their charm.
- BUT... rumor has it (and some experience backs it up) that they have a high rate of delays. If you're planning a transit through Shenzhen, build in ample buffer time – you'll thank us later!
- Our Verdict: Our own experience was smooth sailing (no delays!), so it really seems to be a luck-of-the-draw situation. Fingers crossed for you!
👉 Bonus Tip: Overnight transit in Shenzhen? You get FREE accommodation and airport shuttle! Score!
2. Air China: The National Flag Carrier Doesn't Disappoint!
- Simply put: EXCELLENT!
- Expect large, comfortable planes with entertainment screens, impeccable service from the flight attendants, and food that's not only delicious but also beautifully presented!
- Even on a short, 2-hour flight, the food was top-notch 🤤. 6/5 stars! Would fly again and again!
3. China Southern Airlines (CSA): Guangzhou-Based Giant with a Timeliness Issue!
- China Southern Airlines, based in Guangzhou, is a major player with tons of flights to and from Vietnam 🇻🇳.
- Heads up: CSA has a reputation for… let's say "flexible" departure times 💁♀️. (Delays are common)
- Silver Lining: Their transit services are pretty solid, offering complimentary hotel stays in a wide range of cities.
You can visit the CSA website and navigate to their "Transit Service" section to explore the eligible cities for free transit!
4. China Eastern Airlines (CEA): Shanghai's SkyTeam Star with Direct Flights to Vietnam!
- As a member of SkyTeam (like Vietnam Airlines), China Eastern Airlines (CEA) operates mid-size aircraft on the Vietnam routes.
- CEA stands out by frequently offering direct flights to/from Vietnam 🇻🇳! (Most other airlines require at least one stopover.)
- Bottom Line: If you want to avoid the hassle of layovers, China Eastern is definitely worth checking out!
