Cons: Veg meal options
Cons: The seats provide very little space which is especially bad when traveling for many hours, the food options were quite bad, this is the only flight that i've been asked to take my headphones off during take off and 30 mins to an hour before landing and it makes no sense, the crew was quite rude and not helpful and overall the quality of the aircraft is quite dated and was left in a bit of disarray.
Pros: The price was good
Cons: I had issues when I was checking in as the ground staff said my name in my reservation did not match the name in their system. This is a problem which they need to resolve internally as I wrote my name correct

Cons: Definitely The food! It was so horrible!
Could we have some fruit snacks, yogurt?

Cons: Vegetarian meal could have been a little better
Cons: Company website does not work and cannont do check in ahead of time.
Pros: Food was OK
Cons: Flight attendants barely speaks English. Difficult communication. On the top of it, the PVG airport was closed and we had to land in Xiamen. They kept us 3hours inside the plain

Cons: Different site next time
Cons: I've found China Eastern to be much better than adequate. I have yet to encounter any of the negative things pointed out in so many on- line reviews (though their website is deeply into the realm of dysfunctional). The planes are clean and new, flight attendants are austere but attentive.
Pros: Terrible service
Cons: Terrible service
Pros: Good service overall. Great meal.
Cons: Nothing.
Pros: this leg of our trip was fine. it was average. our experienced was soured and biased by how badly China Eastern handles customer service before and after the flight

Cons: Serve water more frequently in between the 2 meals
Pros: friendly helpful crew
Cons: They routed me Kota Kinabalu-Shanghai-Quingdao-San Francisco, yet could not check my luggage all the way nor issue boarding passes for all legs. Luckily I had 4 hrs transit in Shanghai, had to get 24hrs visa, claim my bag, recheck it to Quingdao and there recheck it to SFO. Quite an ordeal
Cons: Food, movoes

Cons: Where do I begin...and what do I expect for a low cost carrier, right?
Pros: Not very comfortable

Cons: Go by the time and not close gate before boarding time.
Pros: It got me to my destination
Cons: The flight could have been on time. The crew was inconsistent with safety requirements asking me to put away my ipad but the passenger next to me was on her phone?
Cons: No
Cons: Airline service was bad.
Pros: Take off was reasonably on time.
Cons: The plane was so old that is still had cigarette holders in the armrests. Exit row seats did not decline, which had for a back-aching 5 hour flight.

Pros: Front Business class cabin solitude only 2 rows.
Cons: Dirty seats and aircraft, Do not think it was even cleaned between flights. food was atrocious with no alternates. Crew allowed children to run around in upper business class, even during taxi, take off and landing.
Terrible check-in
Cons: We got problem when checking in, there was a group of people that didn’t allow us to do check in, and forced us to pay some amount to have another flight. Then we mis the flight. This could never happen to us or anyone but it did to me!
We have to book new flight back to Bangkok.
If Kayak authority see this message, please guide if we could have any compensation from missing the flight.

Flight from Taipei to Shanghai

Terrible customer service
Pros: They wouldn't allow me on my flight from Shanghai to Los Angeles one an a half hours before my flight because they said that the gate had closed an hour and a half before the flight was set to depart.
And the flight was delayed for an hour total Garbage. They sent me to a hotel in Shanghai and said I was booked the following morning.
When I arrived the next day they didn’t have any information about my situation and wanted to charge me for a new business class seat.
Cons: Customer service

China Eastern comparable with other asian airlines
