Hello from Changsha,China, where I just got off my Hainan Airlines flight from Los Angeles. I’ll have my full review on Hainan Airlines shortly, and though meanwhile I have to address one aspect of the experience which caught me off guard.
It was my first time on Hainan Airlines and I was excited to review them,so I was sure to be the first passenger to board, and had my camera and iPhone in hand. generally when I’m the first to board on a non-US airline and have the cabin to myself I ask the flight attendant if it’s okay if I quickly pick a few pictures. I do this for two reasons:-- It keeps them from getting suspicious or startled by me taking dozens of pictures in a very short period
-- It’s a courteous way to ask them to stay the hell out of the way for a moment (this is particularly vital in first course, or because the procedure is that they escort you to your seat,offer you a drink, chat with you, and etc… all of which I love once I’ve gotten my pictures)As I boarded my Hainan flight at LAX I asked the usual question,and much to my surprise the acknowledge was (in broken English) “no photo.”The post Chinese Airlines’ War On Cell Phones appeared first on One Mile at a Time.
