Wow I can't believe CI actually serves a proper meal with fruits and appetizer on a short 1.5 hrs flight. Qantas only serves a pack of cheese and crackers on the 1.5 hrs flight from Sydney to Melbourne.
exactly!! I was beyond impressed!! I flew this route in 2019 and it was just the hot meal, no appetiser and fruits. Such a generous and welcoming upgrade
Great trip report again Mr Wong 😁. Wow! that much food on a short haul sector, that's even more than SQ! When we were in Hong Kong (just before Covid) my friend who is Cathay crew, took both of us to have soup dumplings at a local food outlet, OMG, they were amazing, there's nothing like that in Sydney!!
Great report...sitting on the floor at the airport at 4:30 am is surreal, you're a true road warrior. Food looked super lekker on the flight! I loved the HK city vlog. It could be a tourism video for HK. I've been to all over those places except Disney World. It was a bit out of the way for us. Such nice weather there on this video!
Hi Jayden thank you for the video goodness could not believe you would get that much food on a short trip. They are certainly generous.Hope you had a good flight.
Another great trip report Jayden! Always so fun to watch. :) Hoping to see more carriers fly between Australia and Taiwan routes; eg. Qantas, Starlux and EVA Air.
Great video, Jayden! That was an amazing meal service for such a short flight. And you could even order a special meal! In the US, you'd be lucky to get a drink and a cookie in economy on a short flight like that. It looked like the service was great and the seat was comfortable. It looks like you had a lot of fun with your friend in HK. Safe travels!
Hi, this is my first time on your channel. What an informative and very well put together video, I am traveling to Manila from Houston Texas, USA in January. Thank you for uploading, new subscriber!
Hi Jayden. Hahaha putting up the tire man. Makes me wonder if a Chef ever took a Wok onto a plane & said I will cook my own meal thanks. Another great trip report.
Great video as usual. I didn’t realise they were doing vegan green stars now, wonder if a restaurant can have both! You will find you have yourself a new Patreon too now! Love what you do but also just love you as a creator, always such a positive outlook but truthful, the engagement you have with viewers and now having the additional view into your travels with vlogs (I know they have been around for a while now though!).
Hi Ben! Thank you so much!!! You’re too kind🥹 Hope you enjoyed watching the Penang vlog in Patreon haha. Pretty sure for restaurants to get Green Star it doesn’t have to be vegan, ‘ethically’ sourced meat & diary produce are eligible too. So yes some restaurants have been the regular star(s) and a Green star. It just so happened to be vegan with China Airlines’ partner 😆
Gosh I can't get over how beautiful the cabin looks! I am planning a flight with them to NZ soon. Fingers crossed it will come to fruition! It is nice to hear Taiwan Hokkien... which is actually my mother tongue!
Great video Jayden as always. Never flown China Airlines but like the look of them. Manila to Perth on Philipine Airlines would be really intresting to watch.. :)
Excellent Trip report and another use of their A350-900s are the TPE to MNL and CEB routes. Sadly CI Dynasty Flyer Skyteam Elite Plus can't access a DL Skyclub like EWR Terminal B gates B40-50. While a competitor BR Star Alliance Gold Gains access to United Clubs in EWR ORD IAH IAD SFO GUM and LAX Thai Airways lounge in BKK Asiana ICN/GMP NH NRT/HND AC YYZ,YUL, YVR. Between CI and BR which one is better? This meal should tie competitor BR and star alliance partners 5 star rated NH SQ & OZ CI Skyteam partner KE possibly MU VN and better than it's competitor PR on TPE-MNL. My question is this between CX,BR & CI on TPE-HKG which one offers better services. go back to 2001-2006 CI had poor service and they had a fatal crash CI611. Knew this because my Grandfather did JFK-KIX-TPE-MNL round trip with CI on B747-400. NH also has a Pokemon Aeroplane. CI A359s are like CX versions dual USB Traditional plugs which should be the norm not USB only while leaving premium passengers both options. Which is what RP-C3501-3508 have
Thank-you Jayden for sharing your flight with us. This is your friend Guerry from the States again, writing in an attempt to boost your tender ego (Just kidding!). I am so glad that you enjoyed your flight. However, I am surprised that you were able to safely arrive in Hong Kong without having a coat hook at your seat. I can imagine how depressed that made you, but thank goodness you ate a good meal on the flight to compensate for China Airlines’ gross omission. By the way, I did catch the part where you allowed food to drop from your fork. I was very pleased to see how clean the crew kept the lavatory, which for me is the mark of a well-run airline. I was impressed with all the amenities provided in the China Airlines’ lounge. I always appreciate seeing both local and western options available on the food line. I thought the food to order option was a very nice touch when it came to service. Furthermore, the free lotions offered in the shower were exceptionally gracious gifts on the part of China Airlines. At the end of your video, I was very happy to see how well you kept your friend entertained. Apart from putting up with me, I can tell you are truly a very good friend. I am glad to have met you. I am just so sorry for not being able to view and comment on all the videos you post. For when I am not able to watch what you have worked hard on sharing with us, I disappoint myself. Again, thank-you so very much for sharing your trip with us. I truly enjoyed it and hope I am able to keep viewing your work on a weekly basis. Do note that I do have difficulty understanding Mandarina and Cantonese. JUST KIDDING!
Hey Jayden, great trip report as always. Btw just have a simple question, for Skyteam’s Elite Plus, how come tier holders get access to different lounges on same flight as what you did for CI lounges at T1 and T2? I thought we still need to show the invitation cards whenever we visit the lounge. Many thanks
hi there! CX do invitation cards too :) They exist just so it clear to you which lounge you can use and it expedites the entry process. T2 lounge took mine away. So when I got to T1 they had to scan my boarding pass and do some quick tricks on their computer :) takes about 30 seconds haha Vietnam Airlines took the longest. They photocopied my boarding pass, I think because they would send it (as evidence) along with the invoice to Delta
You and your friend had a great time at the Happy Valley Racecourse recently, and I’m sure you both know by now that 18 decades of horse racing in my hometown 🇸🇬 will end after the last race (100th Singapore Gold Cup) next October. Very sad that a piece of heritage will be sent to history as the Government will be taking back the Kranji Racecourse land in 2027 for redevelopment. For me, I know its sad but its also good in a way that they (the Gov) close it so there’ll be fewer ppl gambling given the number of problem gamblers out there. The Singapore Turf Club operated at Farrer Park (1824-1933), Bukit Timah (1933-1999) and Kranji (1999-2027) throughout its glorious history. The late QE2 visited the Club twice in 1972 and 2006.
Yep I definitely heard about the racecourse matter in Singapore, sad indeed. I've been the Riders Cafe. Not sure if there's a racecourse there but there are certainly horses there. Wonder if it'll be impacted.
It depends on the aircraft you’re comparing with. On this route EVA usually use 787 and 321 both have narrower seats. But if you compare just their 777. EVA definitely is a lot wider!!
Wow I can't believe CI actually serves a proper meal with fruits and appetizer on a short 1.5 hrs flight. Qantas only serves a pack of cheese and crackers on the 1.5 hrs flight from Sydney to Melbourne.

In America you only get a drink and pretzels, and Europe, you get nothing, literally nothing
Thanks for the update, greetings from Macau
Ah I love your work JW….so personable, informative and professional. BB
thanks so much!! :)
Great trip report Jayden! Fabulous meal service, huge for such a short flight!
thanks Steven!! I was impressed!
Thank you once again for the Video . Its really nice that you have recently started to add some extra content of your stays in several Cities 👍😀
My pleasure Michaela! More to come :)) Next week I have Noosa, QLD, Australia vlog and a Q&A
Classy Vlog as always. Thanks Jayden. Cheers

Din Tai Fung do them in Sydney & HK! Don't know if it's the best though haha! But yes those dumplings and dangerously hot haha
小龍包s are always to die for!! Also fun to eat, always a challenge to not have em stick to the plate and accidentaly break lol
Another nice trip report!
thanks!!
You're the cutest, Jaydan. I love you.❤

Hi Jayden thank you for the video goodness could not believe you would get that much food on a short trip.
They are certainly generous.Hope you had a good flight.
Totally! I was very impressed by CI. Thanks Maureen!! Have a great weekend ahead
Your meal looked fabulous! The plane looked very well kept and pleasant.
absolutely!! If I could buy that as frozen meals I definitely would!! 😂
Another great trip report Jayden! Always so fun to watch. :)
Hoping to see more carriers fly between Australia and Taiwan routes; eg. Qantas, Starlux and EVA Air.
Definitely would love to see Qantas and Starlux, not enough airlines and flights between TPE and Australia at all!

Oh wow how did I miss this one?! I am flying CI from London to Brisbane via Tpe next month. Economy. I have never done such a long flight.
That’ll be fun!
Good Morning from Germany 🇩🇪. Perfect Entertainment 👍👏👏👏👏👍🙏thanks 🙏

Another great video Jayden. Cool to get a 350 on this flight. Also nice to have a free row. Liked the HK vlog at the end 😂
Thanks Sam! you liked how elegantly my cousin jumped into the water?😆
I enjoy the vlogs of your destinations, even the short ones. Bonus points for going to the racetrack.
haha thank you James
Nice one, Jayden! - From the Philippines
thank you!! :)
Hi Jayden.
The is quite a decent meal for a short flight, and, without people next to you, it does make this less cramped
Hi Heather! Yep this was one perfect flight. I wish I got the whole row on MEL TPE too😂 have a great weekend ahead :)
Good video jeyden keep up the good work 😊 BTW can you do an african flying experience pls?
Thanks Alex, one day! It's in my bucket list!!
I always miss it, at the start of the videos, what is it that you say, “ weekly Thursday…..?”
trip report 🤣
He used to upload video on every Thursday but now seems like every day 😂
Thanks. I don’t need to fly anywhere but like the look of all these lounges and food. I’d be a worry around all those free drinks though 😅

Hay Jayden.. Would you like to travel with Sri Lankan airlines from Sydney to Colombo? Your videos is too cool 😎
Fabulous tripreport. You're trip reports are allways so amazing and interesting. Can I ask what equipment you use and what editing software you use?
Thanks! I use imovie and iphone 14 :)

Have safe travels Jayden
Great video Jayden as always. Never flown China Airlines but like the look of them. Manila to Perth on Philipine Airlines would be really intresting to watch.. :)
haha maybe if they join oneworld or skyteam I will😆😆😆
China Airlines Is Most Underrated Airlines.My Opinion.Great Trip Report
Yep they definitely serve more food than Cathay and EVA (both 5*) on this route!
Nice journey and good evening
thanks for watching!! have a great weekend ahead :)
❤Gorgeous partner❤
haha thank you!!
😂 Jayden that's the tyre company logo. Did it taste of rubber 😅 x
it's the same character 🤣

Hi Jayden you should review Xiamen airline
soon I promise haha
Hi Jayden. Don't care much about SkyTeam but I did come for 8:36
food is good🥰🥰
✈️✈️✈️
May I ask.
How you can afford all this travel.
Is it because you clock up and then use airmiles?
that, and the more flights I do, the more videos, the more TH-cam revenue :)
Thought about trying a Glider flight at Gawler, SA?
Hey Jayden, great trip report as always.

I can't believe Jayden Wong went back home to Hong Kong aboarding the China Airlines! So, what happened to Yevgeny Prigozhin?
If China Airlines Does Kid Castle Themed Livery, That Could Be In The A350 Or 777
Jayden, how do you find their in-flight services for this short distance flight ✈️ ?
it was fabulous! Efficient service & delicious food
Nice video as usual
cheers Bobby!
@@JaydenWong 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Does the cabin smell like plane food and does it smell like nice food!
haha it rarely does because the cabin is so dry but I can certainly smell my own meal and it was FAB!
@@JaydenWong Jayden you should fly on the a380 its very quite and smooth!
Will you be trying any Michelin rated restaurants on the ground too?
I don’t go out of my way to try Michelin rated restaurants. I don’t know what cuisine I want until I’m hungry😂
No cohooks on China Airlines seats? I'm devastated!

You know your in an Asian lounge when they serve sweet potatoes for breakfast. 😂 1:10
8:50 curry chicken again but luckily this time you are not sitting next to the lavatory....again🤣

Wifey, not even a mention ❤
No business class flights booked Jayden
cathay in September!

hahah thanks😂😂😂 says no one tho😮💨😮💨
Jayden, I do not feel "safe"flying China Airlines.
Your response?
😂👁✈💨✈💨✈💨🛬🙄😜🤙❤💞
Spoiled with good food on this ultra short flight. Our European and North American fellow flyers must be jealous ...
my next flight is virgin Adelaide to Sydney. Stuck with free coffee and tea only 🤣 even BOB not as impressive!
their food is good but their seat is quite small compared to EVA airways
It depends on the aircraft you’re comparing with. On this route EVA usually use 787 and 321 both have narrower seats.
But if you compare just their 777. EVA definitely is a lot wider!!
What did you learn from your DEGREE ??
lots haha, business management, aviation law, psychology etc.
I feel like I could touch the roof in Taipei Airport there. Definitely showing its age compared to other airports.
yep ceiling is low in T1
Jayden is a vegetarian
