China Eastern Airlines

✅ Trip Verified | New seat configuration on the A350 is brilliant, a suite type seat (you can close the door) with excellent privacy - the seat is really spacious ans comfy. The only weakness of China eastern is the food that is not at the level of other airlines (Even if it is in the menu, they don't have starter but only main course on this flight).

✅ Trip Verified | The China Eastern A350 Business Class comes in a 1-2-1 configuration. Each business class seat features a door which turns it more into a suite rather than a seat. The cabin is very similar to China Eastern's new 787-9. The business class features 36 seats in total and all of them have a direct aisle access. An entertainment system with responsive screens. It also offers an USB and power outlet and a remote control to operate the seat and IFE.

✅ Verified Review | No headphones were provided on any of the 4 flights I was on between Tokyo and Xian via Shanghai. A seat in front of me kept reclining back toward me even if the passenger did not do so intentionally. When I pointed this out to one of the female cabin attendants, she said nothing. At least she could have taken a note as to which seat # would need to be fixed.

✅ Verified Review | Seat 39D. The Boeing 777 seemed new and was very clean. I like Aisle seats so I chose this one and was pleasantly surprised to have no one sitting next to me. Standard economy seat. The legroom was adequate and no one beside me so I could stretch out. IFE had a reasonable selection but was a little difficult to work. The food was standard airline fare but was reasonable. After the first 8 hours the seat started to feel a little hard and I had to get up and walk around several times. Legroom was adequate and what I expected for economy. Temperature was a little warmer than what I like but it was bearable. Overall it was a standard economy seat on a long flight and was about what I expected.

✅ Verified Review | I told the China Eastern Airlines that I am disabled, have a double total hip replacement and MS. On my trip from Amsterdam to BKK I had enough legspace because I have spasms when have a narrow seat. But in AMS they checked me in on an aisle seat so that was ok. However, on my way back from BKK to AMS I asked the not so polite attendant if I could sit 2 places forward for my legs. She said I had to stay down in the seat. After a couple of hours I wanted to go to sleep a bit, but unlucky they had given me a seat by the emercency exit and those chairs can't be placed in the sleeping position, so 11 hour straight up in a flying fridge was very uncomfortable, and took me a couple of days to recover. I have flown with many companies, and this is a low segment airline, not so friendly staff, and in my case the most terrible place to sit.

Los Angeles to Seoul via Shanghai. The Boeing 777 was very clean and looked new. The flight was maybe 70% full and there was extra space in many rows. I had an aisle seat and an empty seat next to me so had some extra room. Seats were about the same as other long haul I have been on. After about 8-10 hours they start feeling a little hard. Leg room was as I would expect in economy and IFE was adequate. Food was reasonably good for airline food and drinks were offered through the flight. Only downside was the flight attendants were - don't think I ever saw a smile. Best thing about the flight was the price. The stopover hotel is another story - don't do it. Just stay in the airport, or pay for your own room at an airport hotel.

✅ Verified Review | Prague to Tokyo via Shanghai on A330 I was really satisfied with the service, on-board entertainment, food, crew. Everything was very good, comparable with European and American airlines. I read really bad reviews before the flight but reality was so different. I recommend it to everyone! One thing I don't understand is that all mobile phones are not allowed during the whole flight, but that's chinese law.

✅ Verified Review | Our flight was from Chendu to Bangkok. The check in was slow but competent. Terminal 1 is the older terminal but the departure area has been modernized. Our flight was operated by an A319. The interior was a blue and white scheme and the cabin immaculate. Seat pitch and comfort was very good. The cerw looked professional and greeted us in English. Service included two drink offers and a hot meal. We did not eat by choice so have no comment on the meals.

ICN-PVG-LHR and CDG-PVG-ICN. I sat near lavatory and it make some sounds like crash when people after use lavatory. Overall MU services are so poor.

Flew China Eastern March-April 2013 - 7 times during a three week trip including roundtrip from LAX- Shanghai and five trips within China including Hong Kong- Shanghai (round trip) Shanghai-Beijing Beijing-Xi'an Xi'an-Chengdu. The airline batted 100 percent in three categories: None of the flights were on time. All of the food was pretty bad (even for airplane food standards) and all the in-flight entertainment was outdated or physically unviewable. We did have one recent American film shown and it was great - but it was a 1.5 hour flight so they cut it off before the ending. They are quick to warn you regarding turbulence and the flight attendants are plentiful and responsive. Best meal was the Chinese breakfast of yogurt fruit and pork and chicken dumplings. Drinks are frequently served but beer/wine if at all available runs out quickly (but it is free in economy). No hard alcohol in economy.
