Editor’s Note: Noel Philips’s panda-themed flight review captures a journey of high hopes and low points. Departing Bangkok for Sydney via Chengdu, Noel boards Sichuan Airlines’ A350 “Panda Express,” which is decked out in pandas from livery to napkins. The check-in is smooth, but the real story starts onboard. While the cabin crew is pleasant, the panda-themed seat cushions and warm bottled water (described as “bath water”) are early letdowns. The food is a disaster—soggy dumplings, wallpaper-paste porridge, and bizarre side dishes that even a Chinese passenger thought were inedible. The plane, despite being only seven years old, feels worn: broken inflight entertainment, non-functional cameras, no Wi-Fi, and masking tape holding bits together. A recurring bizarre moment is the cabin security guard who walks the aisle every 30 minutes, filming passengers’ faces—a practice Noel finds “creepy.” Breakfast is a repeat of the previous meal, cold and bland. The captain never makes an announcement, and the flight arrives an hour late with no updates. Upon landing in Sydney, Noel enjoys a quick passport control and a celebratory KFC, summing up the experience as “rank” yet memorable. The transcript balances honest frustration with humor, making clear that the panda theme is the only standout feature, for better or worse.
Our traveler Noel Philips sets off on a wild journey from Bangkok to Sydney via China, deliberately choosing Sichuan Airlines' infamous 'Panda Express' A350. This panda-themed flight is a mixed bag of novelty and discomfort, featuring a fleet of adorable panda livery but also subpar food, broken features, and cabin surveillance. Despite the quirks, Noel's honest review captures the bizarre charm and frustrations of flying one of China's most unique airlines.

The whole plane is panda-themed, but the cabin security guard walks through every 30 minutes filming passengers’ faces — that’s really creepy.
How was the food on Sichuan Airlines?
It was pretty bad — wallpaper-paste porridge, rank dumplings, and the same meal served twice. Even a Chinese passenger said it was inedible.
