Taipei to Hong route has a lot of flights and the airline deploys both 787 series but there are 2 issues, the flight time is too short and also aircraft change happens very frequently so with this route ended up being ruled out, my next option was a flight from Tokyo to Taipei. I suppose the airline rotate these aircraft every few months.

Lady luck was smiling on me when the airline announced that for a short period of time, this aircraft would be deployed on selected dates for the month of May to Singapore (BR215/216 and a few flights on BR225/226) so I decided to go for it.

Introduction I always rated this airline very highly especially after reading trip reports on them and when they announced the merger between this airline and Air India, I had to book and fly with this airline before they disappear from our skies. Your airline may be disappearing but you will always be part of our memories.

An airline pilot was incapacitated immediately upon takeoff of an airliner from the airport.
