I am looking at flight prices from Europe to Bangkok and have noticed that Air China are very cheap compared to others. Does anyone have anything good or bad to say about them?

You ever flew with Air China? I doubt...
It was a lousy airline many years ago, I agree. But in the meantime quite good, much better than TG.
Coming from Europe you have to check transfer times

Usually longer stopover times result in lower prices. Use this as a chance to see Beijing, citizens of many countries are visafree for 72h.
Be aware of the need for seasonal dress. BJ can be icy

A co-pilot who was smoking an e-cigarette is being investigated after his plane was forced to make an emergency descent when smoke entered the cabin.

The Air China Boeing 737 aircraft made the drop to 3,048m (10,000ft) after oxygen levels plunged in the cabin on Tuesday.

Oxygen masks were deployed during the descent on the flight from Hong Kong to the port city of Dalian in northwest China.

China's Civil Aviation Administration said smoke seeped into the passenger cabin, which can carry up to 215 passengers, according to state media.

"In the preliminary investigation, the co-pilot was found to be smoking an e-cigarette," China News said.

"Smoke diffused into the passenger cabin and relevant air conditioning components were wrongly shut off, without notifying the captain, which resulted in insufficient oxygen," it quoted Qiao Yibin, an official of the regulator's aviation safety office, as saying.

After dropping thousands of metres, the flight was able to climb again to continue to Dalian.
