Planes carrying passengers take off and land one after another. Each plane carries countless dreams soaring through the skies. Stay in Taiwan’s only airport-view guest rooms, watching travelers’ dreams take flight and touch down. Then visit the Cathay Pacific campus to see how flight attendants are trained in simulators—enhancing your in-flight experience and offering another kind of sky adventure.

Want to uncover the mysteries of an airline? A visit to the China Airlines Museum offers a glimpse. To understand the long history of China Airlines, explore the old photos in the museum—images of Chiang Ching-kuo, Yen Chia-kan, Sun Yun-suan, and other leaders alongside the airline’s founding figures. These all tell the shared stories of an era. The museum displays models of various aircraft types, cabin service cabins, and simulators. There are also mock-ups of airport terminals and airplane cabins, allowing you to experience what it's like to dine mid-air and try out different aircraft models. You can even see whether an airplane door can really be opened mid-flight. The training course also includes lessons on makeup, attire, and customer service for international passengers—all essential parts of cabin crew training. These aren’t just theoretical lessons; they are real, hands-on courses. The instructors are veteran flight attendants, and what you see is what cabin crews actually go through.

The Novotel Hotel in the Cathay Pacific campus features Taiwan’s only airport-view guest rooms. The Premier Lounge is a VIP space reserved for hotel guests, boasting stunning views. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer an unobstructed view of airplanes taking off and landing, and it has recently become a filming location for idol dramas such as "In Time with You" and the movie version of "The Fierce Wife."
