Flight Review: CI772 – DPS – TPE

I am sitting in bulk-head aisle seat 27G on this China Airlines Airbus A330-300 flight from Denpasar, Bali, to Taipei. The seat has plenty of legroom but due to the AV monitor being in the armrest, it is slightly narrower than a normal seat. So more legroom = less seat width, and a smaller AV screen.

So small in fact that it is probably the same size as my iPhone 13 Max Pro. Nonetheless I still watch 2 movies during the +/- 5 hour flight, from a very limited entertainment menu.

Tiny screen 🥹

Shortly after take-off a drink and snack service comes around (which for some reason I get twice) – I have the signature China Airlines Tea soda drink which isn’t too bad and some mixed nuts. About an hour and a half later the main meal is served. I have again ordered a Kosher Meal which is not really that good – a turkey nugget and bulgur wheat main with a tunafish pate, crackers and pretzels, and a chocolate mousse and apple stew for dessert. I read the box and notice it clearly states fresh ingredients like fruit and bread rolls are not included as they can’t be preserved. Meaning my meal was probably made weeks or months ago, snap-frozen, and re-heated on board. Yum..🤤 This might be the last time I order a Kosher meal.

A bit preserved….

I sleep on and off for about 2 hours and land (on time) pretty much rested.
