Review: China Eastern First Class Lounge Shanghai Airport

March 31, 2018 by lucky 22

I had a long layover in Shanghai, as my flight was arriving from Singapore at around 5:30AM, and I was continuing to Los Angeles at 1:20PM. Upon arrival I made the long trek from my gate to the immigration and transfer area. I think we arrived at the…

Review: China Eastern First Class 777-300ER Singapore To Shanghai

March 31, 2018 by lucky 27

I boarded through the forward door, where I was greeted by two flight attendants and walked to my seat, 1L. China Eastern's 777 first class cabin is intimate, and consists of just six seats. I can't help but feel like it's perhaps not the most efficient…

Review: SATS Premier Lounge Singapore Airport Terminal 3

March 30, 2018 by lucky 17

My China Eastern flight from Singapore to Shanghai was departing at 12:25AM. I had to check out of the Andaz at 4PM, so headed to the airport shortly after that. I wanted to get some work done, and Changi Airport is about as pleasant of a place as anywhere…

Shanghai Airlines’ New 787 Features First Class & Business Class Suites With Doors!!!

March 1, 2018 by lucky 19

This caught me completely off guard. I had no clue that Shanghai Airlines (which is a wholly owned subsidiary of China Eastern) was taking delivery of Boeing 787s, though I also can't say I was paying that much attention. What's much more surprising…

China Eastern’s Longhaul First Class: Surprisingly Decent

February 7, 2018 by lucky 63

Hello from Los Angeles! After flying from Singapore to Shanghai in China Eastern's (sort of) first class, I connected to Los Angeles. The flight from Singapore to Shanghai was only "sort of" first class because I had the longhaul first class seat, though…

A Pleasant Redeye In China Eastern First Class

February 5, 2018 by lucky 32

Hello from Shanghai! I'm slowly working my way back to the US, and am flying from Singapore to Los Angeles via Shanghai. One cool thing about this routing is that both of my flights are operated by Boeing 777-300ERs, featuring first class suites. As…

China Eastern Becomes First Chinese Airline To Allow Inflight Smartphone Use

January 17, 2018 by lucky 20

For years China has had an annoying policy when it comes to the use of personal electronics inflight. Specifically, you're not allowed to use your smartphones or tablets on Chinese airlines, even if they're in airplane mode, and even during the flight.…

Review: Shanghai Airlines Economy Class A330 Shanghai To Hong Kong

December 4, 2016 by Daniel 54

China Eastern owns Shanghai Airlines, hence both earn miles with SkyTeam airlines. They were serving the Shanghai to Hong Kong routes with A320/A321s and A330s respectively, so I chose the latter, and luckily it was priced at the same cheap $64 one way…

Review: China Eastern Lounge Shanghai Airport

August 6, 2016 by lucky 29

This is where the China Eastern experience goes from disappointing to downright amusing. We arrived at Shanghai Pudong Airport at around 11:30AM, plenty early for our 2:05PM flight to Colombo. China Eastern operates out of Terminal 1, which I believe…

Review: China Eastern Business Class 777 Los Angeles To Shanghai

August 5, 2016 by lucky 36

China Eastern departs out of Tom Bradley International Terminal, and uses the Korean Air Lounge. I've reviewed that lounge before, so won't be doing so again with this report, other than to say that I'm not a fan of it. It's typically way overcrowded…
