    AIR CHINA SHARE PRIVATE CUSTOMER DATA! DO NOT USE THEM! THEY DON’T ADHERE TO GDPR OR PIPL.

    I have received others customers flight details including they’re full names, information about their flight, passport details, how they paid etc.

    I have called and emailed to get in contact about this however their customer service agents on the phone just ignore me when I inform about this and refuse to let me speak to any managers/supervisors.

    Customer service is a joke, they do not reply to emails and I have spent over 3 hours on the phone with them in total and they have not resolved any of my issues, I have still haven’t received my own flight itinerary from them despite calling and emailing on multiple occasions and their service agents promising to email it over to me.

    One of their own staff members have informed me that her computer doesn’t work properly so when she takes payments over the phone, so she has to note down my bank details and use another colleague’s computer to make payments.

    STAY WELL CLEAR OF AIR CHINA.

    The worst airline of all time!

    Website and App are horrible, making online check in not possible. For example, on app, you cannot check in if you do not have a Chinese phone number. When you enter a code of a different country, it defaults back to Chinese.
    For long flights it is so crucial to be able to select a seat before all the good ones are taken. After 2 hours of trying and multiple customer care calls which brought zero result, I have last row middle seats on both of my flights (24+ hours journey time). Unbelievable!!!

    Customer care is totally useless as well: they cannot do anything about not working online check in and are not even able to tell at what time airport check in closes. This is the very least they should be able to advise.

    On the flight there is very little leg room (even for me with 165 cm highly), the wine they serve is of very poor quality, the meals are rather small.

    I will never fly with them again!

    Flew from Warsaw to Taipei via Beijing on AirBus330 – 300 and Airbus 320. The price of the tickets was good and it was the only connection to Taipei which didn’t require a 10 hour-long overnight layover.
    The overall experience is simply okay. Nothing special. The seats on the A330 were a nightmare, I’ve had more leg room on a Ryanair flights. The entertainment centre was old and hard to figure out. It took me a while to find the movies and I’ve noticed some passengers didn’t manage at all. However, the selection of films was good in my opinion. The food was fairly okay. I don’t know really how the staff was because I didn’t require any special help but for me they seemed fairly okay.
    There was much more leg room on the A320.
    Both ways there was no problem with the luggage.
    The staff at the airport in Taipei was lovely.
    Overall experience is okay, I believe the price of the tickets is adequate to the quality.

    We traveled to Beijing from Houston late October with tickets bought in May.
    We arrived at the airport to be told the flight was canceled due to aircraft problems to be told the following day that was a lie. Apparently, air China canceled both Friday and Sunday flights months ago but didn’t tell everybody.
    Now changing a very long, costly international flight is already a very poor customer service, but not making absolutely sure everyone realizes such a major change has happened is the worst I have ever seen in an airline.
    To make matters worse we had to fight to get a hotel and were sent to a very very poor, dirty one. Food was promised to be included but we got there only the buffet consisting of cold chicken nuggets and old eggs were included. Real food had to be paid.
    They also have no wi fi available.
    I travel a lot, have used multiple American and European airlines, being frequent flyer on several.
    Air China is the worse. Ever.

    I am a 100% local China citizen, I took a flight Kunming to Beijing
    The flight delayed 1 hour because Beijing Air is busy, But that is acceptable
    Then on the flight, they give me a “fancy” breakfast a Porridge yes a Porridge,
    Water+Rice=Porridge why? low-quality food detected.
    Also their entrainment it’s just an MP3 Music player, and their freaking headphones are can not use with phones. But other things are perfect.
