Review of Air China 777-300 from LAX to Beijing
I recently completed a trip on air china 777-300 coach from LAX to Beijing. Flight was scheduled for 1:20pm. I showed up at the gate around 10 am, and it was pretty empty.
Checked into security and hung around starbucks for a bit. Boarding process was pretty standard.
First meal was served about 1.5 hours into the flight. There was option for fish or chicken. I chose the chicken. Chicken tasted ok. I probably give it a B. Rice was soggy.
I had asked for OJ during my lunch. After I had finished the OJ, I asked for a can of beer. FA says that she'll come back w/ the beer. I then asked for cup of water. Instead of pouring me a new cup of water, the flight attendant poured water into the OJ cup. Brilliant. Needless to say, i didn't drink that water.
Later she came back with the beer, which was lukewarm. I should have asked for ice but i gulped it down.
Then I tried to go to sleep, and dozed off for about an hour before waking up and flipping through the in flight entertainment system.
I get thirsty and walk back to galley to have a drink of water. I speak to FA in english, who seemed to have trouble understanding me. She gestures to the counter where the the water, cups, and OJ was seated. Ok, I get it. It's self-serve drinks.
I go back to sleep/watch tv. About 2-3 hours before the plane lands, they serve a second meal. Beef noodle or pork fried rice. I tried pork fried rice. It was kinda soggy, but barely edible. C+.
Then we land. Glad that trip was over.
