Remarks: Getting fewer in number and being very fuel inefficient compared to more modern planes the 747s still look amazing to me, no matter the variant (except the SPs which look odd). Most of Air China's passenger 747s are relegated to domestic routes now.
Remarks: Air Koryo's Tupolev 204 pictured shortly before departure to Pyongyang! Before joining Northern Korean carrier this plane was used by Red Wings. It was really exciting flight!
Remarks: Suite 2A in Air China's newest "Forbidden Pavilion First Class" (yes, that's what they call it) cabin, which is featured exclusively on the airline's newest Boeing 777-300ERs. I'd heard mixed reviews on Air China's premium cabin product (that's actually putting it quite kindly), but I must say, the food, drink, and service were all very acceptable, and the seat was one of the most comfortable I've experienced. CA983 from Beijing to LAX.
