First of all, thank you for your comments about Air China. For the first time in my long life I may go on a trip with a group of people who are not family or old friends. So I asked for more information.

You may find it interesting to know what they wrote: " Our carrier for this tour is Air China, whose new Boeing 747-400 aircraft matches its excellent service and devotion to the safety of its passenges."

I love flying Cathay - to me one of the best, if not THE best airline, but I may try Air China if I decide to go.

Again, thank you so much for all your more than quick replies!"
