VOMIT ON THE CHAIR WHILE BOARDING ANF MISSING LUGGAGE
Brisbane - MadridInternational
Might as well save your money and swim to destination. Worst costumer service, no answer to emails , phone numbers either they don’t work or they are completely useless . The airplanes are old and nasty (we went on 4 different ones and every single one was Rubbish) , my husband sat on vomit !!!! Yes, vomit ! The chair wasn’t clean, the staff is nothing but rude and disrespectful, we had an one year old with us and they told me that the infant didn’t have food (I booked before hand food) and we had to fight to get food for him. Everytime we managed to put him to sleep they would be screaming next to us , waking up all the babies around . Lost all of 3 suitcases , no number to contact and no follow up done . I travel every year and tried almost all the airlines and I can say for sure that I’m in shock how this airline still operates, I’ll for sure never use them again and will make sure everyone I know doesn’t either !

Got a vegetarian meal!!!
Shanghai - LondonInternational
To book a vegetarian meal you need to ring the international customer service line on their website: 0086-21-95530, the call will start off in Chinese but don't be put off! Wait for the English service option, then you can get through to a rep who can book you a vegetarian/vegan meal. They speak good English! It took me a while of phoning different numbers to find that this one worked.

Horrendous
London - SydneyInternational
Absolutely horrendous. No alcohol, no snacks, curdled coffee. Main meals were disgusting. Try other airlines. Staff were polite

Their website is not modern. So we hope you don’t have to contact them. You’d have to ring them on a Chinese number maybe in Chinese…

If you are using CE to fly from the UK to Japan, try to allow yourself at least 1 hour 30 mins to make your connecting flight.
