Thanks for the trip report, from what I remember, there's wifi only on A330 and B787s, I don't know why but please ask Accountant Ma for that. I guess the real advantage for Chinese Airlines in Asia-Europe at the moment is the time saved from cutting through Siberia while most European airlines can't do so.

Well, according to their Chairman, Accountant Ma, by quitting out of alliance, they can work with whoever they want while not paying insane amount of membership fees having nearly zero voice.

They cut through Siberia, time saved a lot, for example, LHR-PKX is three hour shorter than BA because of so.
