I havn't fly a Chinese domestic flight for a long while. And this time i have an opportunity to fly Air China from Canton Baiyun CAN to Beijing Capital too transit my international flight too Vancouver. Oh by the way the last time I flew Air China was back in 2007...

Holding 3 boarding passes like a boss
I was really angry though. When I booked the ticket on aircanada.com it said it was a B747, later it pricised too B747-8 and that's why I booked it! But weeks before departure they f****** switched to B777-300ER and just the morning they f***** switched again too B777-200...

CAN is so busy during the Chunyun

Air China check in counter

CAN domestic departure A section

Oh look my bird has arrived with a Madagascar in the background!

Air China (CA)
Boeing 777-2J6
PW-4000
B-2061
First flight 12-11-1998, aged 16 years

My seat at row 61, very nice pitch
one thing Chinese carriers provides and Canadians don't: Pillow

Very nice cabin!
2-5-2 Configuration is the second best config on 777, after ANA's 2-2|2-3

Than I saw the CA Chine-France 50 ans 77W special livery and CZ 2010 Asian Game A333 special livery...

Survolant China

Lunch
Well of course you don't expect anything when it's catering by Nanlian (subdivision of Servair but operated by China Southern)... I don't understand why CA would use Nanlian instead of Lufthansa LSG?

"standard angle" called by Chinese

PW4000

I only have 1 hr of transit time but they f***** parked the aircraft at AMECO apron which is f***** far from the terminal and we had to take the shuttle bus...

Along with cargos...

And we had to wait for the bus to come! I was surprised they use German made COBUS3000 in Beijing! So during this time I was just taking photos around.

Look an A321 is landing right in front of me!

Well if you have been PEK you know how f***** big it is! It took us like 20 minutes from AMECO to arrival hall! But lucky I think I saw the Chinese president Xi Jiping's executive jet parking close too the VIP terminal!

Transit time, i had to run...

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...

[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!
