Word to the wise: use the “PreCheck” reservation system if you can, otherwise you’ll have to endure a lot of humiliating x-rays and pat-downs before they show you to your table.

With Air China service and
mediocre food? Sorry, I just had to throw that one. I just don’t like Air China very much. They are cheap and get you there, that’s all I’ve got to say about them. I do hope they’ll turnaround and improve.

As usual, the Chinese have copied the Taiwanese and are claiming it as their original. Lame China.. Lame.
