I am due to fly from Shanghai to Manchester, is the hand luggage strict or can I get away with carrying 2 bags on broad?

Booked my parents on this airline. Nice review. Thanks papi

I think with that price I’d be satisfied with this quality of service. Thank you for the video! I’ll definitely try to fly with China Eastern Airlines.

Great video haha, entertaining and I found my experience similar when I flew there last week!

U mentioned about carry on weight was 11lb = 5kg, so I checked on the china eastern airline website, it said carry on allows 22 lb= 11 kg. Just wondering which one are correct ? Cus I'm going to travel within less than 2 weeks.

thanks for the review,.. I'll try china eastern

China eastern does not have a premium economy, its economy, business (beds) , and then first (suites)

I flew United chicago to baltimore 9:30pm on boxing day 2014. Never seen such bad service. Also having no screens in 2014 was odd, but Westjet just started doing it. Thanks for the vid, Im gonna take a chance.

Couldn't agree more. I've flown about 6 different airlines from California to Manila in the last 15 years. All were just fine, pleasant, comfortable UNTIL I used United. Absolutely unbearably AWFUL! Only airline that crosses the Pacific with seats that have the little video entertainment screens removed from the seatbacks, no food unless you want to buy the $13.00 cheeseburgers being hawked by the captain, the 777 I flew had the most seats squished in of any Triple Seven I've ever flown. I Love this plane, but United put the maximum number of seats possible (the 777 carries from 280 to about 400 possible passengers) and made a usually comfortable flight miserable. EVERY other passenger was as P.O.'d and disgusted as I was. United is worse than any airline I've ever flown, and should hang their heads in shame.

I agree, but at least it's a detailed description of the flight.

I've always seen that deal from LAX to Singapore but I've always resisted due to the stopover. I've done the route twice, once for $760 RT on JAL in Nov 2015 and the second for $495 RT on Singapore Airlines (I upgraded on the return flight for $95 to a bulkhead seat, worth it!) in April 2017. I would still rather pay more for a direct flight than dealing with this airline and having to do a stopover.

Last month I went to Korea via China Eastern Airlines for only 572$ (round trip) and it was honestly not bad at all. Food was probably the worst part of the entire flight but it's definitely worth it.

My take is they are cheap but a safe airline. The biggest things is the food is so so but even my last Swiss Air flight was so so. Also communicating with flight staff can be tough...most speak very limited English at best. But if you see a great deal and time is about same I'd fly them again.

I am not chinese or American so I can be honest. It was nice to hear this American guy really didn't complain as many Americans complain on KZread A Lot about overseas airlines...........I haven't been on China Eastern yet but at least they appear to provide a hot meal.........Many years ago I flew a lot around America with an Airline which no longer exists. One time I remember the flight attendent handing out a roll in a brown paper bag with some ham in it. No butter or margarine, No salad.........NOTHING just 1 roll with i slice of ham in the roll handed to us in a brown paper bag. So Americans can't really complain about other countries flights when this is the meals U get on theirs.

$462 for round trip from Chicago to Singapore?! It costs 3x as much for me to fly from New York to Guangzhou round trip!

You can fly Chinese based airlines and take your own risks. I would suggest that you do not use them if you expect them to arrive on time for a connecting flight, even within their own airline. If you are flying directly to China only, they will get you there eventually. But don't expect any customer service by either phone or internet. The prices are often very good, but nothing makes up for missing a connecting flight as I did, and being stuck in an airport for a 10 hour wait, then of course losing my connecting flight back to my city when I hit the U.S. You truly do get what you pay for. So don't expect the standards of Japan Airlines, Korean Air, All Nippon Airways, Asiana, or any other major carrier across the Pacific. Expect the minimum, and be ready for some very bad times when things don't go as scheduled. p.s. China Eastern is rated as the 8th worst airline in the world, with a mediocre 53% on time rating. Caveat emptor!

That's a bummer about the cell phone... All my music is on my phone... 😕😒

The issue is that the military takes control of the ATC 90% of the time and doesn't have a separate system, and so since the airspace is getting larger, they need to have a separate system. To prevent the delays, fly first thing in the morning or get on flights with international traffic (ones that continue to an international destination). You also need to try XiamenAir, who are great and are almost at the same level of Hainan, and they have flights from New York, LA, and Seattle.

I purchase RT ticket to visit my family in the Philippines. Purchase a ticket protection too just in case something happened and cannot do the trip. Unfortunately, the war has started and there is a NO travel advisory from Manila US Embassy to Mindanao. I have to ask the Airline to refund my tickets, worth $890.00. Ticket protection is worthless, didn’t help me to get my money back, instead there was a lot of deductions that end up of giving me back $225.00 Wow, never again. It is not my fault that I cannot travel, but still I feel that I am being scam on this airline.

It’s a tradeoff of cheap fare and service quality and stuff... so that’s everyone’s own choice.

If the cabin manager finds out that there are passengers using cellphones on board, the FA on duty would be penalized. That's why they enforce this rule so strictly. The truth is, their cellphones are almost all on during the flight....
