Is it better for domestic airlines or foreign airlines to travel abroad?

First of all, this problem cannot be generalized. Unless specific international routes can be compared with specific airlines, there is no absolute good or bad.

But according to my experience, I can give you a detailed comparison in the following aspects, the relative advantages and disadvantages of domestic and foreign airlines.

First, language communication problems Many friends will worry about language communication problems. They think that airlines sitting abroad can't speak Mandarin for fear of communication difficulties. In fact, airlines will be equipped with at least one flight attendant who can speak the language of a certain country. For example, Asiana Airlines Seoul-Guangzhou flight has at least one flight attendant who can speak Mandarin, and even one flight attendant from China; Similarly, there will be Korean flight attendants on the flight of China Southern Airlines, so there is basically no need to worry about the problem of being unable to communicate.

Secondly, most flight attendants of FASCO are not flying to China for the first time. Some of them may have flown countless times in China, met countless people and understood basic Mandarin. In addition, on the plane, it is nothing more than simple communication such as ordering food, bathroom and blanket.

Therefore, flying in foreign airlines will basically not cause communication difficulties.

Second, the ornamental problem. In this regard, first of all, it is stated that there is no colored view and there is no discrimination such as gender and appearance.

In China, the job of flight attendants can be said to be a "youth meal". Flight attendants of domestic airlines in China give people the impression that they are young, energetic, beautiful, generous, elegant and dignified, and there are often more women aged 20-30. Of course, there are also flight attendants aged 30-50, but first-class and business-class flight attendants are the main ones, accounting for a minority.

Foreign airlines, especially those in Europe and America, pay more attention to the service experience of flight attendants. So when you take the airlines in Europe and America, you will often see "Aunt" flight attendants. Some are bloated, some are full of white hair, and there are many men. Who cares? I think the older I get, the more valuable I am.

Flight attendants in most Asian countries are mainly young, and there are even bikini airlines in Vietnam, which is the cultural difference of different countries. Therefore, in this respect, I blindly support domestic airlines.

Third, the problem of experience enjoyment When it comes to the experience of first class and business class, we have to admit that the gap between domestic airlines and foreign airlines is huge, whether it is from ground service, to first class lounge, to on-board seats, entertainment and so on. If there is no shortage of money, it is strongly recommended to use Air China.

In the world's best first-class ranking, the top ten are all foreign airlines.

Share two first-class classes that I yearn for. After reading them, I know what luxury is and what poverty limits my imagination!

Emirates airlines

Singapore Airlines

Look at the A380 first class of China Southern Airlines.

This is the obvious gap!

Fourth, safety, disputes When it comes to safety, there is no doubt that domestic airlines are better!

Remember that doctor China who was violently kicked off the plane by United Airlines? When the tickets of United Airlines were oversold and no volunteers got off the plane, their fine tradition of "racial discrimination" came out.

Of course, this thing is also a question of probability, and you can only recognize bad luck if you encounter it. Similarly, I can't generalize. I've been on many foreign airlines and I haven't encountered any problems. Are all relative.

As for aviation disputes, it should be the most important and easiest problem to encounter in the whole comparison!

By plane, you will inevitably encounter various problems. Need to contact airlines to solve various problems, such as flight delay claims, flight rescheduling, missed flight change, and special requirements for flying (pets, elderly people, large luggage). All domestic airlines are solved by telephone; The departments of foreign airlines often need to communicate by phone or email, and may also need to write emails in English, and also consider the time difference.

Generally speaking, handling disputes with airlines will make you more troublesome and time-consuming.

At the end of the summary, I will give you a suggestion. Which city do you go to? Choose the base airline there. For example, China Southern Airlines in Guangzhou, Air France in Paris and Thai Airways in Bangkok. Because only the base airline will have a special person on duty at the airport 24 hours a day to help you solve the problem at any time. You can't find other airlines that employ ground handling during non-flight hours.
