On the Ground:
Air China departs Singapore Airport from Terminal 1. Economy Check-in is in Row 12 whilst Business class check in is in Row 4 with an own Check-in Lounge.
There were no queues and the staff were very helpful and friendly.
No queues at emigration.
Air China uses the SATS lounge in Singapore which is located in the middle of terminal 1.
The quality and choice of hot food was good and you could get drinks and cold snacks at the bar section. The lounge is big in size and there is enough space to sit.
Changi Airport still has the old closed-in gates. Boarding was set for 16:50. We were at the gate at the indicated time. Passing the security checkpoint us around 10 minutes. Long queues
and no priority lane.
After security you are boarded into the lounge. Staff was friendly and efficient. From the lounge boarding is basically opening the doors and let everyone board. Priority boarding was
conducted and checked by an agent.
The crew was super present and friendly whilst boarding.
Welcome drinks (champagne, juice, water) and newspapers were distributed as well as the menu and wine list for dinner.
The seats were already equipped with slippers and headsets. No amenity kits distributed.
Inflight:
This Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner is configured with a 2-2-2 business class. We got our two seats by the window. The seats are comfortable and enough private space.
Around 1 hour after take off the cabin crew started with the service.
Some nuts and drinks were served as an aperitif followed by an amuse bouche.
The main service consistef of a tray with salad and first course followed by the hot dinner. Fruits were served for everyone and then you had the choice of cheese and/or dessert.
The food was delicious and fresh and the crew did an excellent job.
Bathrooms were super clean as the crew checked them after each and every customer.
Once again the Cabin Crew was simply stunning, friendly and efficient. They were interacting with the customers and were smiling all the time.
They were super present in the cabin and went again the extra mile.
The inflight entertainment on this Dreamliner is new and good.
Air China is not really showing current or actual western blockbusters like other airlines do.
But... you have enough choice (around 200 films and series) to survive a longhaul flight.
No WiFi available on this Aircraft.
All in all another great experience with Air China and I would definitely recommend them. Looking forward to the next sector.
