This is my first time to TaiChung City, it was a nice place for tourists.
This time I chosen Mandarin Airlines to TaiChung.
Let's do the checkin first.
It was my first time visited the Plaza Premium First Lounge.
This lounge is much better the normal one.
The tasty breakfast.
Finnair A350-900.
It was my first time met EVA Air B787-9. Also, it was her 1st time visited Hong Kong.
This is my plane will be brought me to TaiChung.
We need to take the shuttle bus to the outer bay.
The E-190 B-16821.
Nice angle when we get on the plane.
The comfy seat.
Nice cabin.
The clean toilet.
The cabin panel.
The overhead panel.
Nice legroom for the short flight.
Ready to takeoff.
The child meal, you can make the pre-order after purchase the air ticket.
The beautiful sky,
We are approaching TaiChung City.
The neighbour HK express A320.
Some cabin photo before get off the plane.
Safely arrived TaiChung.
Thanks for this FR.
Nice service on that short flight.
I wonder why Mandarin Airlines now only flies regional and no longer long haul flights like before.
I guess China Airlines is involved with that decision as it is the parent company.
Due to the policy problem, China would not like the Taiwan flag in the sky.
Therefore, CI decided to establish AE to fly YVR, SYD, AMS until CI change the livery.
Hi Henry, nice report as always!
I didn't know there was a Plaza Premium First lounge in HKG. I've only been to the "normal" Plaza Premium lounge. Are there different access rules to access the First lounge?
You can't go wrong with an E-190 as far a comfort goes in Y. The wide seats in 2-2 layout are better than you would have on a 737 or A320. How nice to have a full hot mean on a 1 hour flight!
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for your comment, I using AE credit card and pay USD25 to access the Plaza Premium First lounge.
E190 is much comfy than A320 and B737. It was a great flight with full hot meal in this short flight.
Hi Henry,
Wow! The Plaza Premium First lounge in HKG looks good. I assume you had to either pay — or co-pay along with Priority Pass, your way in?
As always, great spotting at HKG, including the brand new EVA 787. Nice!
I don’t get to fly them much anymore, but the Embraers are such a nice ride in economy. Headspace like a full-size narrowbody, and only 2-2.
I’m impressed by a meal service at all on this short a hop. I wonder what percentage of the broccoli distributed in kids’ meals ends up being consumed?
A nice quick report on a short flight. Thanks for sharing, and happy flying!

It was a great flight with E190 and the full hot meal. I can't imagine the percentage of the broccoli distributed in kids meal.
