I probably shouldn’t be writing this on a luxury travel blog. I’ve always found flying long distances so tedious, especially as there was a time when I was flying about once a month for work. In fact, I haven’t flown since before COVID, anything that makes flying less cattle class and more human has to be applauded. I might even be tempted to fly again.

If IHG Hotels & Resorts are putting their considerable clout behind this investment they must be optimistic about the growth of the Chinese hospitality industry.

Let’s hope that they know more about the state of Chinese / Taiwan relations and they are betting on continuing peace, even if there is a lot of sabre rustling, than I do.

I’m sure there are technical reasons for it and all sort of design features contributing. Whatever, I like the 787 Dreamliners, they take the exertion out of flying.

Whenever. I take a Dreamliner 787 flight, I seem to arrive more rested than with other planes.

To be absolutely honest I’ve never heard of Hainan Airlines. Though they certainly seem determined to make a name for themselves. Now I know to look out for them.

Having a focus on the seasons as a theme for the food should be a grounding experience. It’s a very slick piece of marketing.

When you’re travelling all over the world for business, jetting from one hemisphere to the next, it’s all too easy to lose track of the seasons. It helps to remind you what season it is where you are.

It’s amazing what a difference these little extras and luxuries make on a long flight. They can be a great morale booster.

They don’t call it a Dreamliner for nothing. Amazing artistic presentation of the food.

It never ceases to amaze me how superb food can be served at 32,000 feet whilst seafood restaurants at lower altitude can’t even cook the vegetables properly.
