Flying with AirChina (self.travel)

I am looking to fly to Japan from Europe and AirChina seems like the cheapest option by far. As I am not a seasoned long-distance traveler, I wanted to hear some experiences with the airline before deciding what to go for. Flying low cost around Europe worked fine for me so far. Would you recommend AirChina for an intercontinental trip? Thanks!

Air China is fine, I've used them at least a dozen times, I travel all around Asia, Europe and the states

I don't worry too much about which airline and just pick whichever cheap ticket is available; as long as I have Bluetooth headphones, ear plugs, and a neck pillow, I'm pretty comfortable.

I will say, don't worry too much about booking your tickets too early, very often you'll get cheaper tickets closer to the date because they're trying to fill up the planes, and I've never missed a flight due to a full plane, even on Christmas.

i almost never buy a ticket more than 3 weeks before I depart, and I'll log in once a day to check prices 3 weeks out because they fluctuate so regularly and grab the first cheap ticket that looks good.

usually I buy a ticket one to two weeks out.
