Pros: It was a two and a half hour flight and even in economy they served a full lunch with drinks included and tea and coffee service after. And they were so efficient!
Cons: No complaints at all, it was a great flight experience.
Cons: Thank you China airlines. This is the second time I have been traveled by China airlines. Next three months I will have a trip more. Good!
Pros: Entertainment, crew and food
Cons: Seat space
Cons: Wish there were more English instructions spoken. It was mostly Thai and Chinese.
Pros: Easy boarding procedure.
Cons: Seat was broken. The seat's back kept returning forward. Not a lot of water and snack we're given for flight this long.
Pros: crew was efficient, the taipei to ontario leg is more comfortable than taipei manila which has a linger leg room
Cons: improve food with better choices
Pros: Crews were excellent. Food was actually good!
Cons: More comfortable seats for long haul would have been nice!

Pros: China airlines service is very good
Cons: Newer planes to Manila
Pros: Smooth and easy
Cons: Check in location not clear in the beginning.
Pros: This crew really made the difference for the return leg of my MNL/TPE/SFO trip a most wonderful experience. Prompt boarding, quick deplaning, timely baggage claim, smiling crew, clean facilities, and great food. Comfortable seats really made entertainment more enjoyable.
Cons: Nothing...this trip was a clinic on international travel for a great price.
Pros: Great Food, good customer service, quick boarding/deplaning, and the return trip from MNL to TPE was almost top notch.
Cons: My entertainment screen was not working nor could the crew get it to work.
Cons: Need to change date. They won’t allow it without a $600 charge. This is ridiculous and btw it’s 2 days away so why are u asking me about a flight I haven’t even taken.
Pros: They ran things efficiently and staff was cordial and helpful if asked.
Cons: I didn't realize I was assigned middle seats for.both legs of my long 20 hour trip. It would have been nice if the person checking me in would have considered assigning me a different seat on at least one of the legs. It was fine just not amazing.
Pros: The crews were super excellent. Kind and warm hearted services. Airplane is old but it is a short haul and does not matter much.
Cons: Leg room in economy is just tight
Cons: It is just a long flight and the middle economy seats are what they are.
Pros: Crew was good and friendly.
Cons: Lesser layover time in Taipei.
Pros: crews are helpful.
Cons: seats are old, can be better.
Pros: Yes the crew was amazing ✅ Very professional and friendly
Cons: A few more newer and English speaking movies sure would be nice. Thanks for asking.✈️☀️
Pros: Legroom, seat amenities, boarding process
Cons: The crew could have been a bit more attentive, especially when clearing the service. I had an armrest dining tray which was very small and snug (same for the seatbelt as well) and it was hard to move with the tray still there. Also, Iwith fruit platter for meal, they served a side of fruit!
Pros: Food was slightly better than the previous flight.
Cons: Same lousy headphones. My seat had a led rest that made it harder to get in and out, and wasnt usable due to the close distance to the seat in front. What was the designer thinking? I missed the drink service if there was one, never saw water going around until right at the end. . .
Pros: Great check-in with Weimao, if I remember right. Got through security fairly quickly. Boarding was fine, a long way to the back . . .
Cons: The worst earphones I’ve ever used. They fell out at least 100 times while trying to watch Dumbo. There seemed to be reasonably good programming, but I wasn’t going to continue with those earphones. My ears were sore after trying many ways to get them to stay in my ears.

Delayed One Full Day!
Pros: Movies were great. Service to accommodate us (hotels, food vouchers etc.) was great!

Flight attendants were really rude, Food was ok, There’s no selection of drinks

Pros: Crew was the best ever, and I've been flying on China Air for 40 years.... they must have put in a good program to achieve this better-than-before result.
Cons: Boarding from a shuttle bus gate at midnight is problematic... we had to stand on the bus in the dark, and couldn't figure out when the driver was going to turn or stop or go, so people (including many old people) were tripping over for the duration of the bus ride.
Pros: The seat supper comfort and landing very smooth
Pros: Sitting in the emergency row.
