Welcome to the trip-report reviewing China Eastern's Long Haul economy Product on board their Boeing 777-300ER.
Check out my other China Eastern Trip-report from Harbin(HRB) to Shanghai(PVG)
link
At the time of making this trip-report, China Eastern has 20 B777-300ER. Apart from the B777-300ER, the long haul fleet is consisted of the A330-200 and the A330-300. The airline also has a further order of B787-9 and A350-900. The airline has a fierce competition with its rivals Hainan Airlines, China Southern , Sichuan Ailrines, Air China and recently Juneyao Airlines. Hainan Airlines has always been in a lead in the long haul sector with the most amount of international routes. They use the B787-8 ,B787-9,A330-300,A330-200 and the A350 to their advantage. China Southern focuses on the south east asian routes instead of the long haul routes. Sichuan Airlines recently acquired the A350 and they launched long haul operations the us and Juneyao is also a recent competitor with the newly acquired B787. Air China has taken a different approach to the widebody aircrafts. They deploy the aircrafts on high frequency short haul routes either within China or Hong Kong,Singapore,Taiwan ,India etc…(They do also use the fleet for long haul operations). These airlines do give a fierce competition towards China Eastern which has a huge domestic coverage.
Coming back to China Eastern ,this aircraft is equiped with 6 first class seat,52 Business class and 258 economy class seats.
I first did check-in and the check-in was smooth.

The flight attendant welcomed us with the warm chinese hospitality. I passed the business class cabin and it looked very modern and elegant.

The meal was served just a few hours after take-off . My meal was a vegetarian meal and tasted ok. It could have been better and it could have been worse.

Conclusion

China Eastern is an airline that needs many improvements. It is certainly not the worst airline. It has amazing products on its widebodies but needs a lot of work done in the domestic flights. You can also fly the Shanghai-New York sector with United Airlines. Compared to United , China Eastern is much better and I definitely recommend china eastern.
