Air China Flight Review : CA938 London to Beijing by KonstiYH

Air China was established and commenced operations on 1 July 1988 as a result of the Chinese government's decision in late 1987 to split the operating divisions of Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) into six separate airlines: Air China, China Eastern, China Southern, China Northern, China Southwest, and China Northwest. Air China was given chief responsibility for intercontinental flights and took over the CAAC's long haul aircraft (Boeing 747s, 767s, and 707s) and routes.
Air China is the flag carrier of the People's Republic of China, and one of largest airline in the region. Air China's flight operations are based in Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK). In 2013, the airline carried 51 million domestic and international passengers with an average load factor of 81%.
I recently had the pleasure to experience the inflight services with this Skytrax rated 3-star airline on Flight CA938 from London Heathrow Airport to Beijing Capital Airport. Find out more on my journey onboard this Boeing 777-300ER as I review my first Air China flight!

    I’ll fly from zurich to Peking next year. Actually I wanted to avoid this airline because I heard so much negative. But I had to book them because of the connections it was the only option without waiting at the airport for more than 8 hours or even more. (Peking-North Korea / North Korea -peking) In your Video this Airline makes a very good Impression!

    Hi Miguel, thanks for leaving a comment. Where will you be starting your flight? I think for the price I've paid, around £330 (Euro370) for a London - Bangkok return flight, I would recommend Air China. The transit in Beijing Capital airport was smooth and pleasant, you should have plenty time for the connecting flight to Bangkok. You might not have your personal AVOD inflight entertainment on the 5-hour Beijing to Bangkok leg if the aircraft is not the latest Boeing 777-300ER.

    I should think Air China is responsible to make sure you get to Bangkok, there are 2 daily flights to Bangkok from Beijing if not mistaken, in the unlikely event of you missing the connecting flight, you shouldn't be waiting for 24 hours to the next flight out.

    Tom Mulchinock having now flown with air China I can say that the food is awful, the aircraft are old and worn out, the seats held together with cable ties, and the entertainment system old and dated. The selection of drinks was not fantastic either. The staff on the other hand were lovely. Maybe if this "review" had actually covered those very basic topics that one would expect of a review, then I may have been able to make an informed decision not to fly with them. I feel that what I have just written is a far better review than this pointless and uninformative video.

    Ah, Air China.Does one get any service from their ground staff? In your dreams. Service? They dont know the meaning of the word. When I last used their lounge on a trip Beijing- Singapore, two of their staff were arguing over their respective work quotas, quite oblivious of the passengers who were trying to get into the lounge. Lounge any good? Same lack of service - like they dont care one hoot. Any better on board? sadly no.
