Shenzhen Airlines

In my previous live I worked for an airline. Therefore, from then on, everytime I try a new airline, I can't help but analyze various things such as the inside of the plane, the seats, IFE, service, food, etc.

On my flight to Beijing I took Shenzhen Airlines (SZ) because of the cheap airfare. If you are wondering on the ticket price you can check Ctrip. The aircraft was a basic A320 and interior pretty std for Chinese airline - as in not particularly nice. However I was pleasantly surprised by the service, the cabin crew was polite and patient and they even did a dance with their hands while the official SZ video played!

Surprisingly, the best thing about the flight was the food! I had beef rice...although the presentation was a lacking (as expected) the beef was very soft and the sauce was a bit sweet and very tasty to mix with the rice. It also came with a side of edamame beans, pack of pickled veggies and a mandarin orange.

I am now impressed with the caterer at SZ airport.
