Check-in in zone J. A shot of MU's economy counter.

I must found something to eat before going to gate.

Seems to be a large delay of this flight.

Time to boarding.

This flight was running by an A330-300 which does not have PES.


Such a large rear gallery of this aircraft.


Aircraft started taxi to 07R.

Only the middle row of this aircraft can saw the overhead TV so I missed most of the safety instruction.

Aircraft made a right turn after lift off. Flew towards LAKES.


Seat of this aircraft.

This flight offered pork rice and seafood noodle which is spicy.


They also offered ice cream.

Weather was not bad above all clouds.

Aircraft was descending.


The logo of China Eastern is a swallow which has a red wing and blue tail. This is the new logo which is more streamlined than the old one.

Approaching Hongqiao.


Spoilers up and slow down the aircraft.

An Eva Air A330-300 with Hello Kitty Livery landed before me and was taxiing to the gate.

Parked next to Shanghai Airlines A330-300.

While I was waiting the shuttle bus, I tried to take some photo closely to the aircraft. 


This RR Trent 772B-60 engine provided about 71,100 lbf.


Review :
This was another nice flying experience of my life. My friends always said China's airlines is worst. But actually some big airlines of China, like China Eastern, China Southern, either Air China is better than some european airlines. But I didn't expect that no PES on this wide body aircraft. Although this flight only take about 2 hours but I think they still need to provide PES.

Marks of this flight :
-On Time : 5/10(Delay about 2.5 hours)
-Comfort : 9/10(Not a full loading so I can choose my own seat)
-Entertainment : 3/10(No PES lol)
-Services : 8/10(I didn't expect that their smile was charming)
-Catering : 8/10(They offer ice cream, unimaginable)
-Overall : 7/10(Quite good)

Thx for watching!
