Excited on trip next January

We bought our air tickets to Sanya, China today for our usual trip from January to March. The tickets are not only cheaper, but will get us directly to Sanya. We used to have to fly to Hong Kong first. Once we were in Hong Kong, it was up to us how we went from Hong Kong to Sanya, as all North American airlines would only get us to three major cities in China, namely Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong.

Next January, however, we will be flying Air China. We are familiar with Air China and other Chinese airlines since we have been flying around inside China with them every year. Besides having delays (which probably are more airport infrastructure problems than airline problems), the services they provide are way better as compared to the airlines in North America. So we are very excited that we will be treated as human beings rather than worrying about being yelled at. Check out this article. Unfortunately what is described by Tim Ferriss happens way too often.

At least for us flying to Asia, we now have new players. Hopefully this will wake up the airlines in North America.
