[EN] Flight Report CZ348

中文版本請點擊這裡
So after the amazing A340 experience, here comes an expected horrible one: China Southern 348 from Paris CDG to Canton CAN. CZ has never been giving me a good impression since the first time I took it

Boarding Pass
Prior the departure, I asked the agent in French at the gate if I could get an upgrade with my China Southern Pearl Club Miles and he responded no need and he upgrade me to Economy Plus for free!

My China Southern flight will be depart from gate M41. I had to take an APM to the M satellite hall

I have taken several airport APM before: Toronto, Denver, San Francisco, Hong Kong, Narita, Kansai and Beijing and this is probably the most fabulous (beautiful) one!

Although it was only a 50 seconds trip

French, English and Simplified Chinese... so familier where have I seen it before?
Oh, Vancouver!

Bienvenu à l'hall M

Surely the biggest duty free shop i've ever seen with all the staffs following you and talking to you in Mandarin

Beautiful concourse

They even got a museum!

M40 wing

China Southern Airlines
Airbus A330-223
PW-4000
B-6516
First flight 02-06-2010, Age: 4 years

Quite a new aircraft and it is not usual too see PW engines on A330

My seat in Economy Plus

Survolant Paris

Well I didn't expected much on China Southern's meal but it was quite nice, especially the potato salad. Servair did a great job!

Breakfast. The croissant was so Frenchy...

IFE: CZ actually got a great product on A330 (their 772 is terribly horrible), especially when you have Doraemo Stand by me! in Japanese...

Total Route

We were lucky that we landed on the CAN's brand new 3rd runway! The airport was really busy on the ground during the Chunyun in the early morning, I see those staffs doing inspection, washing the planes... overall they were working so hard to make sure every passengers arrive safely.

Then guess what, we arrived on time at CAN (which is surprise because there were no ATC hold during the busiest time of the year) but they hold us on the plane for like 20 minutes because "immigration inspection system failure"...

After landing shot

The CZ 787 looks actually much more amazing in person than in photos, I saw a total of 8 CZ 787s on ramp this day, CZ only got a total of 10, why are they all grounded?
Yes I took this picture on the ramp. How? Fly international flight to CAN next time then you will know why.

Finally arrived on land
Then guesse whay again: our luggage were delayed in Paris!
Hopefully they didn't loss it we got them back the next day

[EN] Flight Report LH478

Pour la version française cliquez ici 中文版本請點 這裡 When I first got on an A340 6 months ago (you could read my flight report here ), I thought it was probably the last time I could travel on this not-so-fuel-efficiency bird. But in less a year, I'm actually travelling again on this beautiful, quite and comfortable plane! Also with an European carrier like Air France who carried me last time on A340, this time German national-carrier Lufthansa are flying me back home from Frankfurt to Montreal. I've heard a lot of good review before and I confirm: it provides an amazing service and comfortable seats!  LH478 is operated by Lufthansa daily, departing at 1:30pm from Frankfurt and arrive at 3:30pm to Montreal, the flight time is about 7 hours and 30 minutes Lufthansa operates two flights to Montreal everyday, one from Frankfurt and the other from Munich. Air Canada also operates one daily flight between Montreal and Frankfurt. All other flights are A330-300, makes ...

[EN] Flight Report AF347 YUL-CDG

Pour la version française cliquez ici 中文版本請點擊 這裡 All the airlines around the world are retiring their A340 at this moment just because they think they're not so fuel efficiency compare too B777 and that's why I can't believe I'm still able to be travelling on Air France's old livery A340-300. Et voici mon repotage du vol! (And here is my flight report!) Sorry for the photo quality because my own camera was in reparation so this was not my camera... (not used to this device) Boarding Pass... 2 flights on 1 to save paper? Air France-KLM check-in counter, larger then WestJet's but still very busy because 3 wide-bodies departing together within 3 hours  YUL's newest part: International Wing, still under-construction for the extension part They say this is the largest Duty Free in Canada... Still much smaller than HKG Gate Paris-Montreal is one of the AF's golden route since the 1950s, here is a little bit of st...
