I was determined not to use another Chinese airline after having awful experience with Air China. But because this was by far the cheapest flight available by miles, we chose this airline, thinking as long as they would fly us in one piece. Unfortunately this airline was also disappointing. They did fly use in one piece without any major issues. So that was good.
The bad experience: how can you run out of hand soap in the toilets? The toilets are not kept clean; the bin is overflowing, no soap, the floor is wet…. It is just not hygienic. When I mentioned to staff that there was no hand soap, they said we ran out. Can you find it in another toilet somewhere else?
Food was disgusting for all the flights. Can you not offer a plain food so it is more edible for everyone? You’d think Chinese takeaway, yum. The inflight food was just barely edible. Also there were some snacks and wipes that were out of date.
Inflight entertainment: good that there was one. There aren’t any new releases. There were Dune (not 2), Hunger Games etc. So we would recommend bringing your own entertainment.
We would choose this airline if there was absolutely no other alternative, just bearing in mind to bring my own food and hand sanitiser.
