Juneyao Airlines review (Shenzhen Bao'An to Shanghai Hongqiao), AIRBUS A320-200

12/19/2009

Route: Shenzhen to Shanghai Hongqiao

Departure date and time of flight: 07:50am on the 19th December 2009

Flight Number: HO1152

Flight duration: 2hours

Class: Economy Class

Aircraft type: Airbus A320

Punctuality of the flight:

The flight departed on time and landed on time.

Any baggage issues:

No issues- the bags arrived on time and in one piece.

Comments on the check-in staff and any issues:

No-check in issues. Everything went perfectly smoothly at Shenzhen- the process from checking in to going to the gate took only around 15 minutes.

Comments regarding the pre-meal service:

Just drinks- included “Mengyiu” milk (Chinese branded milk) and Chinese branded cola and orange juice.

Comments regarding the first meal:

All we got was a stylish carton containing a “Mengyiu” milk carton and a “bun” filled with a slice of ham and some butter. The flight was too short and really you could not ask for more in China. In Europe it is a different story, but for a 2 hour flight, the contents provides were of a decent quality.

Comments regarding the drinks service:

A second round of drinks were offered after the meal. No alcohol, but plenty of milk, coffee and tea.

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 professionalism of the cabin crew:

The cabin crew were very professional and polite. Just a normal flight, without any incidents.

Improvements that could be made:

None...everything seemed to be OK. Juneyao Airlines has a good service because it is a private carrier, unlike most of the other Chinese carriers.

Comments on the interior of the aircraft (including seat comfort):

The A320 had a standard 3-3. Unlike most other Chinese carriers, Juneyao has their own branded interior which consists of Purple coloured seats, and matching cushions. The toilets were clean and well maintained. There was no bad smell in the cabin (sometimes plane cabins do smell).

Overall rating 1-10 (worst-best): 9

About Airline PR

This 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.

This section of the website will grow in time, and will include detailed reviews of the in-flight meals, the airline seats, the comfort of the overall trip, the customer service both at the check-in-desk as well as by the Cabin Crew; and how good the assistance has been by the airline staff. All the reviews are honest, fair, firm, and non-biased.

I am proud to have worked with some of the largest PR agencies, and some of the most powerful airline brands in the world, including but not limited to: Air Canada, Cathay Pacific, Emirates, Qatar Airways, Lufthansa German Airlines, Air China, Turkish Airlines, British Airways, TAP Air Portugal, Air Malta, Air France, KLM, CityJet, and many others.

All the flights I have taken in my life are documented on this weblog except for any flights that were taken before 2003. These included Syrian Airlines (747SP in 1985), British Airways (2003 to Dubai), Aeroflot (IL-62, and IL-86 in 1989) and a few others. I regret not documenting them because I never thought of doing that back in those days.

I am hoping to bring to life the joy of reviewing airlines.

Note Regarding Photos

For all media reviews, special permission has been granted from the airline authorities, and even from airport authorities for the photos/videos taken on-board the aircraft and on the ramp because it is strictly forbidden to take photos and videos on and around the aircraft without permission.

The purpose of this blog is to provoke thought, inform, intrigue and amaze you.

On Shanghai airlines and did not see good reports . . So I am going with Juneyao. Trust I will have just as good of a report as you did here!
Thanks again,
