Prague to Denpasar/Jakarta
PROS: 1) Reasonable price. 2) You get what you pay for. Meaning, they will transport you from one place to a another. 3) They provided me with a free return ticket to Shanghai city center with a high speed train. Which comes of use, if you stay in Shanghai at least for 5 hours. 4) National assistance. They have a world wide assistance services, also in Czech Republic. CONS: 1) Cancelled flight to Bali. My flight to Bali was cancelled due to volcano activity. This is of course a good reason to cancel flights, but what I did not understand was, that all other airlines did not cancel their flights to Bali during the days of my flights. 2) Food is very oriented towards chinese travellers. The food they provided was the worst I've ever experienced on a flight. I can generally eat anything, but I really needed to check, if I do want to eat the food or not. 3) All flights were delayed. I had 5 flights with CEA and all of them were delayed, generally between 20 minutes and one and a half hour. 4) Checked baggage. They did not check my baggage from Jakarta all the way to Prague, but only to Shanghai. Therefore I had to claim my baggage and check it in Shangai again. However I do not know, if this problem was not caused by staff at the Jakarta airport. 5) Stop in Xi'an. We stopped in Xi'an to pick up more passengers and possibly to do maintenance on the aircraft. All passengers were asked to leave the airport, go through chinese immigration office and then come back into the aircraft.
