All-New Premium Economy Class Tableware for a Feast of Colors and Flavors in the Sky

The design concept maintains the fusion of modern and Eastern aesthetics, with a warm, delicate texture that highlights the minimalism and elegance of the all-new white porcelain tableware being introduced by China Airlines. The capacities and ratios of the new Multifunction Plate and Side Plate have been carefully adjusted as well to enhance the layout and dining experience. The Casserole is made from lightweight ceramics for better sustainability. Together, they complement the colorful and delicious meals that are pleasing both to the eyes and the taste buds of passengers.

Other upgrades in the Premium Economy Class include in-flight amenities and food and beverage services. Some of the upgrades are now closer to Business Class in terms of quality, including single-packed hand wipes, two-toned quilts, slippers, and noise-reducing headphones for a more comfortable experience on long-haul flights. The diversity in the food and beverage options has been expanded to the same sparkling wines and caffeine-free herbal teas served in Business Class, as well as a range of main courses exclusive to online pre-orders, to make every moment of the journey a premium experience.

Free Luggage Allowance of 28 kg per Piece in Premium Economy Class Is the Best in Taiwan

China Airlines is listening to mid- and high-end passengers on the importance of comfort and efficiency. The free luggage allowance for Premium Economy Class is two pieces of luggage, each weighing up to 28 kg—the most of any domestic carrier. Premium Economy Class passengers flying on the 777 and A350 models can also enjoy the free in-flight Wi-Fi service equivalent to that offered in Business Class, with unlimited web browsing and text messaging to stay connected to the world even in mid-air.

Upgraded ground services are being introduced for Premium Economy Class as well. The check-in process is being expedited through priority check-in counters. Premium Economy Class passengers are also entitled to priority boarding. The quality of the flying experience is enhanced through attention to detail from the point of departure.

China Airlines strives to craft a better and more comfortable flying experience for passengers. In 2025, a readers' poll by PAX International, the international airline industry magazine, voted China Airlines as the winner of both the Best Business Class Amenity Asia and the Best Premium Economy Class Amenity awards. Onboard Hospitality magazine also presented the airline with an award for Best Onboard Special Meal or Product; passengers can now look forward to the all-new amenity kit that will be launched this year. In addition, China Airlines has now won the Five Star Global Airline award from the Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX) for nine consecutive years, while also winning the Best in Food and Beverage Award, the Best in Wi-Fi Award, and the 2026 Best Cabin Service Award—representing international recognition of the outstanding five-star service offered by China Airlines in its pursuit of excellence.
