Xiamen to Amsterdam. Bit of a mixed bag. The food and seat comfort were quite decent but a few other issues would make me think before travelling with Xiamen Airlines again. Cabin crew had very limited English to the point they didn't understand the "word" vegetarian when they came around with the meal. The cabin temperature fluctuated greatly on the flight and to make matters worse, I was sat next to overweight passenger who smelt strongly of alcohol and had no concept of personal space. After he had elbowed me for about the 10th time, I decided to look for another seat but by now everyone was sleeping and simply decided to stick it out. I could have asked one of the crew but given their level of English, I thought better of it. The economy seats have UK style power sockets so useful for laptops as the inflight entertainment is somewhat limited although the screen and entertainment system was quick with none of the usual lags I have experienced on other airlines.
