This may sound like a stupid question, but how do I find out how NW
configures their planes?

For 3,5 hours flying time you ask a lot of questions.

Hi all,

I am planning to fly to Bangkok in November. The cheapest flight is
China Airlines. I don't know alot about them. So I have a couple of
questions for those who have flown them

1. How do they rate compared with other airlines in terms of service?

2. I am 6'4. How are the seats in coach? Will I be really cramped for
the 15+ hour flight? (This is the most importnat question)

3. How is their Business Class? They sell BC tickets for $2,600. Coach
is 833. This is my Honeymoon so I was thinking of making the splurge!

4. I appreciate any and all comments so please respond.

Thanks,

Robert

i thought aeroflot came at the bootom of the list?

China Airlines is a SAFE

Meaningless statement. No such a thing as "safe" or "unsafe." You might
mean something like "safe enough." But then try explaining what is "safe
enough" for you.

- but one of the world's least safe - airline,

It's one of the most unsafe, but it may well have improved lately.

Used to lose one double aisle plane per year, roughly. Cases of crew
drinking in some instances. This said, they only lost one in the last
four or five years and apparently it was not their fault, but someone
else's (possibly Boeing, not sure.) Perhaps it's the KMT (their owner)
losing power that led them to shape up?

THanks all for your help. We are travelling BC on EVA air. They are
having a sale at the moment and since it is our honeymoon I wanted it
to be special.

You made a great choice. Just remember that the flight staff will bow to
the passengers at the end of the flight. Applaud if you like.

Enjoy your honeymoon.

P.S. Just moved to John's Landing neighborhood. PDX is awesome.

How much crack do you smoke? Portland, Oregon to Bangkok is not 3.5 hours.
