Awesome video! Nice to see the service provided by Air China. I also think it's very strange that the cabin lights weren't dimmed for takeoff. It's an important safety procedure for takeoff/landing in the dark.

It’s an FAA regulation and all American carriers as well as most international airlines follow it. But, I guess those rules aren’t applicable in China.

Hey David! As a flight attendant i just want to comment the fact that the crew didnt dim the lights especially during night for take off and landing...Lowering of cabin lights is a safety procedure ...The reason is that “you want your eyes acclimated” in case of an emergency scenario like evacuation... Great video as always!! Regards from Cyprus !!;)

Yet another good flight report. Normally I don't watch if I don't care about the destination or plane but with you it's always good!

Welcom to Beijin haha Enjoy ur time in Beijin

I have to say that I really enjoy your reviews. I especially appreciate that most of your reviews are in economy class - I think it gives the majority of your viewers a realistic insight to the product they would experience themselves, as most can’t afford the luxury of business or first class. It seems that a lot of other reviews out there are only of the premium classes, which are all bound to be amazing, but it’s like watching MTV’s Cribs... it’s not a realistic lifestyle aspect for most people, so it gets boring. ☺️

Great report as always! I also flew in this cabin in 2015 (actually came across this channel because of that :D)and had the same problem as you with the IFE. As far as I remember the screen could only be controlled with the other side of the remote control (so no touch screen). Discovered that way too late into my flight tho...

Awesome tripreport David!!! 😃

It's nice to hear Eglish announcement from the captain himself. It's rare among East Asian airlines.

CA168 was a very convenient flight to China after work in Japan. It was also convenient to be able to transit to Red Eye Flight in Beijing and go to any country such as Singapore and the United States.

Great review of CA David! I flew on the older aircraft to Beijing and the newer one back to Singapore. There's a considerable difference between the 2 versions.

Good job, David, hope you enjoyed your nap.

Another nice video! BTW, if you gonna stay near the Shinagawa, Try the Keikyu line to HND airport! It's more cheaper then Tokyo Monorail!

I was there last month. Miss tokyo got plans on going back soon.

So awesome !!!!

The way to find the main menu is to click on mode (the center button on the remote control). Press once and you'll get on the main menu. Press twice you'll get to the audio channel. That's how you navigate through the outdated hardware on CA's Airbus 330-200. I figured it out on my flight to/from Taipei.

I just loved the video

Beautiful review

I love the Japanese tradition to wave at the aircraft 😊😊😊

can you do southwest airlines from Oakland to Honolulu then do there inter island flight from Honolulu to Kahului

Nice trip report

FINALLY AIR CHINA

They use older A330s to operate flights to Japan ,Korea, and Southeast Asia. On their newer A330s the seat hard products are much better.

Safe travels!

Cabin lights should be dimmed for safety reasons in the dark

I like your All videos!!

i love the a 330

6:44 Dimming the cabin lights is actually a safety procedure while take-off at night, as if there is an emergency while taking off your eyes are adapted to the dark and you can escape the aircraft easily, so it is odd that they did not dim the lights.

Widebody jets flying domestic or regional routes are quite common in Asia, especially in China and Japan. The old A330s with the old cabin are mostly only used on domestic or regional flights. It is also the reason why Air China is not refurbishing the cabin. According to my experience in PEK, the major reason you are not getting a jet bridge for today's flight is that the A330 will be used for a domestic flight tomorrow morning. Otherwise, they have to drag the aircraft to a gate for domestic flight after this.

Very welcome to u to China

How long was the flght and why did you got a remote stand?

I also find the lights not being dimmed or take-off to be odd, myself. But I do remember quite well that both my flights on All Nippon Airways from Sydney to Tokyo Haneda and Back hardly dimmed the lights for take-off. I simply assumed it had something to do with airline standard operating procedures, or SOPs are they're known. Every other airline I had flown with up until that point always dimmed or shut off the cabin lights entirely for take-off. Another thing on those flights that I wasn't accustomed to was that the captain addressed the cabin once reaching cruising altitude. I'm more used to that prior to pushback, but then again, I'd imagine that's also down to an airline's SOPs. It's just little procedures I hadn't came across before in my travels. Every airline operates different in some shape or form after all.

Das mit den abgerockten Kabinen bei Air China hat mein Kumpel mir schon bestätigt. Er ist im Rahmen einer Asien Rundreise 4 Flüge mit denen gemacht. Die Eindrücke der City beim Takeoff in HND waren überragend...

What time did you take off? And land

Lol, the takeoff sound on the Air China Airbus A330-200 sounds exactly like the takeoff sound of the American Airlines Boeing 777-200

That was cool I love you

Flew Air China A330-300 between PEK and Manila twice two weeks ago. There was NO legroom and the meal was dreary, but unexpected on a ~4 hour flight. But, yeah, both the 330's and the Air China 777's I flew in between PEK and LAX were pretty worn-out and really showing their age!

I swear airlines had to dim the lights for landing and takeoff at night because of safety reasons????

Can you keep the bento box? It's so beautiful

I found Air China pretty good, i will be on an Air China plane again in 9 hrs.

Nice video 😇

Those are the same seats that Garuda Indonesia had on their A330-200 aircraft until they refurbished them to match their A330-300 aircraft. So squashy!!

Fantastic trip report. That's probably the best CA meal I have ever seen so far. The cabin was very dated though

Wow another amazing flight review on Air China economy class . Keep up the awesome vids simply aviation 👍👌❤️.

Hi David you are very reach to travel in these kind flights

Some A330s of Air China are only used for short haul.

If the IFE was as old as the plane, it probably wasn't a touch screen. A decent-looking meal for a relatively short flight. Cramped seating is the standard for Economy on many airlines now.

That looks alright for a short haul flight, but next time I fly from the UK to China I don't think I will give CA a go

This video reminds me of all those long-haul flights with Air China’s A330s. Everything is super old, the entertainment system takes forever to load or respond and the food is downright terrible. Cabin service is OK though.
