"So disorganised in the 21st century"

(Australia)

Trip Verified | The plane had mechanical issues and the flight was cancelled. Still spent 3 hours on the plane whilst we watched our luggage being offloaded. Only to be served food so that by the time we got off the plane the airport was closed and all systems were shut off. We finally got out of the airport on a bus at 5am, 8 and a half hours later. Why so long for such a small number of people. So disorganised in the 21st century. The team acted like this was the first time it had ever occurred and had no idea what to do. Would i travel with them again - not willing to take the risk.

“lack of flexibility and understanding”

(Australia)

Trip Verified | I'm deeply disappointed by the lack of assistance and understanding from China Eastern Airlines regarding my recent booking for flights to Turkey. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, I was unable to obtain a visa for my trip. Despite my efforts to cancel the flights in a timely manner, I have encountered significant obstacles in obtaining a refund from China Eastern Airlines. The lack of flexibility and understanding during this difficult situation has been extremely frustrating. As a loyal customer, I expected better customer service and support from China Eastern Airlines. It's disheartening to see a lack of empathy and willingness to accommodate customers facing genuine issues. I urge China Eastern Airlines to reconsider their refund policies and provide better support to customers facing unforeseen circumstances beyond their control. I hope that in the future, they will prioritise customer satisfaction and provide more flexible solutions in similar situations.

“no responsibility for they own mistakes”

(Australia)

Trip Verified | I purchased a ticket premium economy, they swap the aircraft from Shanghai to Rome and no premium economy available anymore. No communication to advise that no premium economy available, no effort was made to upgrade to business, no responsibility for they own mistakes and poor communication.

"The worst Business Class"

(Hong Kong)

Trip Verified | The worst Business Class I have ever taken. Lack of space for leg just like Economy Class. Without clean enough. The table was broke (and caused a glass of cola was poured on my clothes). Food was also bad (vegetables were too salty and fried chicken were really tasteless but not crispy). 去上海辦點事,沒想到刷新了我對公務艙的認知下限,WUH天河-PVG浦東-HKG赤臘角,武漢MU國內出發休息室都比較小,麵也沒有以前的好吃了,機上居然沒有歡迎飲品和毛巾(跟後面比都是小問題)?MU在PVG的國際休息室也沒有那麼高品質,食物都不太行,就麵還算行?飛香港的飛機同樣是737-800,公務艙只有小臂那麼長的地方放腿,而且飛機保養根本沒做吧,衛生方面也很不乾淨,小桌板一拉就歪,可樂直接潑身上了,只能說飛機維護了,但只維護了一點點。。屬於是花公務的錢去坐了超經?毫不客氣的說,超經除了寬度比不上,其它樣樣爆打。而且PVG不是MU基地嘛,機餐只能用慘烈來形容,一餐中最好吃的是水果⋯⋯主菜的炸雞和配菜幾乎沒味道,炸雞外皮還是軟的,冷菜卻齁鹹,米飯是硬邦邦的,加熱好的蒜香法棍卻是軟塌塌的⋯⋯以敝人淺薄的旅行經驗來說,這次的公務艙是所有國內國際航線最差的,無論是MU自己,還是國內外其它航司,前一程WUH-PVG相同的機型737-800都比它好太多太多。。

"absolutely shameless"

(Germany)

Trip Verified | Lanzhou airport is an absolute disaster for non Chinese speaking international Traveller as nobody speaks English. China Eastern is suppose to depart from terminal 2, but my check in counter could not be found as my flight did not appear on the flight departure screens. Information counter staff unable to help. I found the counter finally in a remote corner of terminal 1. Check in had to be done via Google translate, no Lounge available. I received one cup of water throughout this almost 4h flight. No food, nothing! Budget carrier are offering food for sale, but China Eastern offers nothing on a 4h international flight; absolutely shameless. Never again!

"staff with very limited command of English"

(Germany)

Trip Verified | Check in at Bangkok airport swift and friendly. Boarding well organised. Seats on the rather worn aircraft not very comfy, but ok legroom. Food not very good. Service was decent, but staff with very limited command of English. Flight departed on time, and arrived 20 minutes early.

“This is the worst airline I have flown”

(Australia)

Not Verified | This is the worst airline I have flown with. They cram everyone in the back section and there is a whole middle section empty but they won't let you move. The food is inedible and you can't even get a glass of wine on a 12 hour flight. The movies are very old.
