Travel wise, I spent a few hours - yes, hours - trying various combinations of places, flights and airlines only to finish up dizzy and totally confused. The confusion didn't cloud my understanding of the standard of service you could expect from Air China; the fares are cheap and the service, so far as I can understand from passengers reviews, even cheaper. Comments like: poor maintenance, broken IFE, bad food, crappy, smelly, rude, unhelpful and filthy toilets, seem to be the most favoured by passenger - even business class passengers!. All of which means, despite the low $1700 ticket value, we will NOT travelling with Air China even though stop-overs in Beijing and Seoul seem to be a tempting excursion. JAL seem to be beckoning again ...
The answer? Caraway - what else?
