Is typing Chinese allowed on this forum? I hope we don't make this thread a chat room of ours...

Are you going to Narita for vacation? What a lucky student. Tokyo Narita will almost always get the newest 74C on the daylight flight, so I guess you will get to experience it if you are going to fly in C.

Gold Card is almost worthless now seeing how China Airlines is advertising to their members who have at least obtained 30,000 miles or flown 6 Dynasty/First sectors to be promoted to Gold Card if they fly couple thousand more miles, or couple more Dynasty/First sectors. It almost makes me think why did I try so hard two years ago to get this status.

China Man, as of now I actually think 74C may fly to New York JFK by luck as if aircraft rotation does not work well during the day time flights, the New York JFK flight may take the Los Angeles aircraft since it takes off earlier. This is based on CI 0005/0006 also using the 74C as the aircraft. However, if they are going to charge the passengers an extra 10,000 miles, chances of swapping will be quite low.
