Worst airline experience I've ever had. Uncomfortable seating, no designated seating so was placed several rows away from girlfriend on her first long haul flight.On first flight TV set also did not even turn on, and was asked to move even further away to a new seat to use one of the entertainment systems. Genuinely racist staff rude towards me and my family (being from Filipino descent). I have flown to many different countries with many different airlines, and you could not pay me to use China Air again- let alone visit Chinaread more
So grateful for our full refund

We have not actually flown with China Airlines yet, but I’m awarding five stars for the way they fully,and fairly promptly, refunded our family’s airfares - for a big holiday we’d planned in April 2020, but then COVID-19 reared its ugly head all around the world.
Meanwhile, anyone who booked with our national carrier (Air New Zealand) has been left with a whole lot of credit - no refunds were given!
So grateful that you did the honourable thing China Airlines, and we will definitely rebook with you again when the time is right.read more
Trustworthy service in the time of covid

I can't review an actual fight, unfortunately, but I can review some excellent service in the time ofcovid.
I emailed China Airlines customer service to confirm that if the carrier cancels a flight due to covid 19 that they would refund the fare. I was attempting to fly from the UK to Australia, so I know how unlikely that is to go ahead right now. I also bought a Business Class ticket (improves your chances of getting into Australia at the moment), which is not in my budget, so I wanted to have some guarantee.
They promptly responded to confirm that I could get a refund of any unused tickets and I bought. In the next week or so the flight was cancelled / postponed twice, and each time China Airlines let me know straight away.
Then finally the schedule from Taipei to Brisbane changed in a way that was incompatible with the Heathrow to Taipei schedule, given I can only transit for 8 hours in Taipei.
After emailing customer service and understanding the dilemma and that no service would be available until next year, I applied for a refund, which I received in my bank account days later.
The quick turnaround with no fuss meant that I'm at least able to attempt to shop for an alternative using the same funds. I would love to fly with China Airlines in future once we return to some normality. I think they're the only airline I trust with my money right now, and it's just a shame that the Australian government's Draconian measures mean I can't make use of their services.read more

Super customer service and refund policy
Reviewed on 2020-03-26T21:31:44
We haven’t actually been able to fly but had flights booked with China Airlines (via Opodo unfortunately)that are impacted by COVID-19. We have other impacted bookings with tour providers and other airlines including BA, yet China Airlines are the only provider who offered us a fuss free refund, no arguments and even phoned us when we flagged we were having problems. Unfortunately we’re unable to get the refund as Opodo aren’t giving it to us (or even contactable) despite being authorised to by China Airlines. But I’ve been very pleasantly surprised by China airlines customer service and refund policy, one of the few companies we’d book with again after all this!read more
