What a better way to treat yourself then to upgrade yourself to business class for a long flight? I was so privileged enough to experience this from San Francisco to Taipei, Taiwan on China Airlines.

Your VIP treatment begins before you even set foot onto the aircraft, by visiting the business class lounge. In the business class lounge, you can enjoy a snack or a drink before you board your flights. There is free wifi to use and large comfortable chairs to lounge about.
I boarded the beautiful Boeing 777 aircraft and settled into my lay flat bed. Not only was the seat comfortable and spacious, you are also provided with a lush down blanket and a very soft pillow. Your side compartment has a fantastic vanity case that has things like lotion, lip balm, eye mask, ear plugs, comb and toothbrush for you to use.

China Airlines served the most wonderful food, as well! I enjoyed lobster medallions wrapped in prosciutto and duck with mashed potatoes. For breakfast, I chose an omelet and vegetables. The food was well prepared and restaurant quality.

Before I knew it, we were landing in Taipei and I was making my way to the beautifully decorated business class lounge where I spent a couple of hours before my flight from Taipei to Bangkok. The business class lounge offered a sleeping area in their lounge along with showers. I did not explore the sleeping area in the lounge since I was so well rested on the plane.
You can be sure that the business class experience is well worth the cost with China Airlines. I know you will love the service, the comfortable seat, the great entertainment options and the fantastic food!
