SICHUAN AIRLINES (Chengdu Int. Airport to Jiuzhaiguo Huanglong Airport), AIRBUS A319 (2015-08-07)8/6/2015
Route: Chengdu International Airport to Jiuzhaigou Huanglong Airport Departure date and time of flight: 14:45 on 7th August 2015 Flight number: 3U8607 Flight duration: 40 minutes Class: Economy Class Aircraft type: Airbus A319 Punctuality of the flight: The flight departed on time and landed in around 40 minutes. What was truly remarkable was the temperature change and the environmental change within such as short amount of time. From 30 degrees Celsius to just under 2 degrees Celsius. Jiuzhaigou is the third highest airport in China, with the elevation of the runway at around 3,500 meters above sea-level. The views of the Min mountains are truly spectacular. Worth for the short flight! Top Tip: If you do come here and you have forgotten to bring your thermal jacket (it can be cold here in the summer, too, because of the high elevation, then don’t worry because high-quality thermal jackets are available at the arrivals hall. You can get a very nice jacket for around 70RMB (approx. £7, US$12)- I can guarantee that the same jacket, if sold in the UK for example, would be available for around US$60 at least. Any baggage issues: I had a large backpack, weighing around 12kg, which I checked-in as hold luggage. This was the first time I had taken a trip with a backpack, and without much hand luggage. Sichuan Airlines have their own dedicated terminal building at Chengdu Airport, and because the airport is so big, they have airport guides on roller-coasters and segways! Comments regarding the pre-meal service: None Comments regarding the first meal: Just a bottle of water Comments regarding the drinks service: None Comments regarding the in-flight snacks (if any): None Comments regarding the second meal (if any): None Comments on the in-flight system (if any): None Comments on the interior of the aircraft (including seat comfort): This Airbus A319 aircraft has a seat configuration of 3-3 with an all Economy Class seat set up. The plane was clean and the toilets were clean too. It was not full at all. Not bad a flight after all. The crew were friendly too. |
About Airline PRThis is a special section on Airline Branding, and Airline Public Relations written by me on all the flights I have been fortunate enough to have been on. These are not records taken from somewhere else, but are actual flights I have been on. Most of the flight trips are officially sponsored by the airline companies in order to promote their certain routes, and aircraft. Airline promotion and PR related work in the aviation industry is one of my expertise. Watch exclusive videos below taken in the cockpit of a Boeing 777-300ER in-flight over Chinese Airspace.
