| Agree with Pete - for longhaul, upper cabins on China Eastern offer great service for what you pay and food is tastier than most other airlines. However Biz class longhaul cannot compare to BA or Qantas because of the old fashioned seats on China Eastern. Still, if you are on one of their new Airbus, it's OK - possible to sleep and plenty of legroom. On the other hand . . . for domestic travel, I think China Eastern is the best of a bad bunch. Landings can be rough, but not as bad as China Southern or Air China. Having said that, one China Eastern flight to Beijing ended with the pilot doing a brilliant greaser landing - have not experienced that in many years. Also, service can be sloppy but getting better in first class. |
