| I recently flew China Eastern roundtrip Shanghai<->Tianjin. The experience was pleasant overall. They actually had a separate counter at Hongqiao Airport for passenger without check-in luggage, the wait for an early morning flight was about 20 minutes. They don't weigh the carry-on luggage as far as I know. I usually fly United for all my air travels, and I must say the CEA flight attendents are much younger and more attractive than those on the United flights. The snack box they offer has way too much sugar and I wasn't very impressed with the quality either. Oh, and when I got to Hongqiao Airport at around 10 pm on a Tuesday night, there were more than 200 people waiting for taxi. I waited for 10 minutes, saw practically no movement and decided to try some other options. Lucky for me, there is a bus that goes directly to Jing An Temple, and once there, it's a short taxi ride to where I'm staying. You may also want to try that if the taxi line is too long. |
