She nodded enthusiastically, and later showed up with a gin and tonic. I thought, why fight it, and drank gin and tonics until dinner.
The F class lounge was a nice place to hang for a few hours, with plenty of food and drinks. The seating was very comfy, and had great views of the airport. I will definitely choose AC again from and to IAH.

Just booked an award ticket for PEK-SFO for April as CA is the only one that has a seat for the date I wanted! I called the US service center to get my seat assignment and asked if there is a way to see my reservation online. The nice agent told me it is not possible because the ticket was not issued by CA, and I won't be able to check in online either.
From reading this site, ground experience in Beijing would be as unpleasant as I recently experienced in Shanghai flying AA to LAX (no special boarding line for F passengers). Guess I shouldn't expect much :-)

I do speak Chinese fluently, not sure how that will help improve the CA experience, as sometimes it makes it worst (at least on the ground). Last month I was traveling alone with my two kids, I almost got stopped by a lady at custom after getting my luggage, but as soon as I replied in English, she backed off and let me go.

J seats in CA984 777-300ER LAX-PEK
Any reports on the "lie flat" J seats on Air China's CA984 LAX-PEK?
If I were to pick the window seat, how is easy is it to get to the aisle without disturbing my sleeping neighbor?
