| Many of the domestic Chinese airlines are trying to join one of the international points programs ie. Star Alliance. The problem is that these alliances require the airline to live up to a certain standard. They therefore are not allowing any of the Chinese airlines to join yet. I'm biased with Star Alliance and will only fly their airlines if possible. I flew China Eastern international on 2 trips. I will never fly with them again even if they were 100 USD cheaper compared to Air Canada. For some reason, China Eastern decided to shrink the legroom in only my seat by 6 inches. 6 inches in economy is a big deal when you are flying a 12 hour flight. They refused to upgrade the 2 of us to executive although it was obvious it was their fault. CE, go to hell! When you see a Chinese airline join one of those programs, you'll know that it is one of the safer and trustworthy airlines to fly... I might not live to see that date. |
