Flight was smooth and service was fine (especially after they realised they could speak Chinese with me instead of English), but the IFE was rubbish with one straight-to-DVD movie being the only English one, and the rest being Chinese/Russian/Korean/magicians (and I was told I couldn’t use my iPad). Food was okay, and the bed was okay although not fully flat, not that me as an economy traveler cares too much..
Couldn’t use an iPad? That’s strange. Last year when flying between cities in Germany an old guy next to me asked me to stop using my iPad because it wasn’t allowed – I paged the stewardess and asked her and she said it was fine to use. Phones are a problem though – I was on a flight from Paris to Shanghai two days ago and a French kid next to me using his phone to watch BMX videos was furious when the stewardess told him he couldn’t use his phone during the flight. Anything that can make calls is disallowed.
