China Airlines Business Class Wraps You Up in Luxury
China Airlines has recently upgraded the interior of their 747-400 aircrafts. We were lucky enough to board one complete with new business class premium seating configurations. This new layout boasts a hip pastel interior design treatment and radiates a vibe that helps to soothe the fourteen-hour journey from New York's JKF to Taipei.
The First Class and Business Class boarding experience is like being escorted through the velvet ropes at one of New York's trendiest night clubs. Once onboard, you'll discover how relaxing and luxurious your flight will be--all of your needs will be met.
Our flight was a fourteen hour trek over most of Canada and the Arctic. We arched down over the Bearing Sea and flew into Russian airspace for a short while. The flight was an amazing experience. One might think that you'd go crazy trying to figure out how to get through such a long flight but the time went by effortlessly. It was fun getting to know my seat mate over lunch and dinner. I also spent some time with my seat back reclined and the LED light on reading Steve Job's new biography. It was a page turner. Then, with the seat fully reclined, I drifted off for eight hours of restful sleep and awoke as the plane descended over Japan for our landing. This travel experience was effortless.
My Dynasty Business Class seat was state-of- the art. It adjusted through a wide range of positions and fully reclined into a comfortable cozy flat bed. I'm totally spoiled for future flights now! It sported a 10.5-inch flat screen monitor that served up twenty of the the latest Hollywood releases and your favorite movies on demand. During the flight, my seat mate got caught up on this year's Academy Award nominated films that he'd missed. He was thrilled.
Music lovers have an array of music channels and CDs to choose from too. There are sixteen video games, a universal power adapter for your laptop and a personal LED reading light.
My flight attendant presented me with a printed dinner menu offering both modern gourmet and Japanese cusine that included a seasonal salad, wok fried orange chicken, grilled New Zealand lamb loin and salmon teriyaki. There was also a wine list featuring selections from France, Italy and California's Napa Valley. The china place setting was arranged on a beige linen tablecloth and there was ample room to maneuver just as though you were dining in your favorite restaurant or comfortably at home.
