In late 2014, China Airlines unveiled its Boeing 777- 300ER aircraft, featuring an updated business class, a new premium economy class, the family couch, an advanced in-flight entertainment system and an awardwinning design.
Premium Business Class
China Airlines passengers enjoy a private and comfortable space, with 78-inch, full flat-bed business class seats. The industry-leading cabin also features a user-friendly control panel, 18-inch personal screens with more than 100 selected shows, a cabinet for personal belongings, premium in-flight amenities and an accessible herringbone arrangement.
The highlight of Premium Business Class is Sky Lounge, a space in the middle of the cabin for passengers to relax. The Eastern Literary Tea-tasting Area offers tea from Taiwan and complementary snacks, while the Western Fashionable Coffee Area provides coffee and pastries. Selected Chinese and English books of the month are also available.
Premium Economy
Introducing a new cabin on the 777-300ER allows China Airlines to offer passengers a seat pitch of 39 inches at a reasonable fare. The seat’s fixed backshell and front-sliding design, combined with adjustable leg rests, optimizes passenger comfort, support and privacy.
Premium-economy passengers enjoy a number of added amenities, including an amenity kit, special meals and a larger baggage allowance, at fares only slightly higher than economy class. Added storage includes a compartment for tablets and large tray tables. The cabin also boasts 12-inch personal entertainment systems.
Family Couch
China Airlines’ enhanced economy-class cabin feature the innovative Family Couch seats. A specially designed footrest raised 90 degrees converts three seats into a single sofa bed, allowing families and couples the comfort of lying on their backs on long-haul flights. The Family Couch comes with a mattress, pillows, blankets and specially designed seatbelts.
Enhanced In-Flight Entertainment
China Airlines’ industry-leading Panasonic eX3 in-flight entertainment system features multi-touch technology, an 18-inch screen, movies, music, games and much more. The My Favorite function allows passengers to save their favorite programs for continuous viewing after a rest or meal.
The most unique feature is the social networking Seat Chat function, which allows passengers to message each other, share their favorites and make new friends in flight. The entertainment system offers other services, including duty-free shopping, e-magazines, news updates and in-flight menus. Complimentary and fee Wi-Fi access is also offered.
Award-Winning Design
China Airlines 777 NexGen Cabin won the 2015 Red Dot Design Award, named the Best of the Best in what is widely considered the Olympics of design, and marking the first time an airline has been awarded the honor in recent years. Red Dot was impressed by the cabin’s design in terms of innovation, function, ergonomics, environmental friendliness, symbolism and emotion.
New uniforms
China Airlines introduced brand new uniforms, tapping Oscar-nominated William Chang to design the futuristic, fresh look. Bold color blocks in red, violet, white and blue-gray fuse a traditional Mandarin look with modern Western fashion. Three different color combinations are available for both men and women.
