#LAX INCOMING FLIGHTS FROM CHINA FULL#

I chose to write airline reviews for a living because I like experiencing both the good and the bad, and even if this is bad…it’s gonna be good. I don’t care at all about all the negative reviews I’ve read about China Eastern over the years. If I can’t get through, well – thanks for watching, and I’ll catch you in the next one… I made it through! And nope. The boarding process for China Eastern flight number 586 to Shanghai I swear to god these machines hate me. Instead of filming all the b-roll for the video, it probably would’ve behooved me to set off in search of a face mask or two to prepare myself for what was happening in China at the moment. It’s been a fun morning filled with bottled water, swanky lounges, and weiners….so: so far so good.

Some reviews have been positive, while others have painted them as the worst airline on the face of the earth. So, just to clarify, I’ve actually heard mixed reactions about China Eastern over the years. These machines hate me, and for that – I hate *them*. I was not, however, looking forward to the automated boarding system here at the gate. I’m not picky though, and I was very much looking forward to experiencing China Eastern business class for my myself. The airplane the internet told me to avoid at all costs. The pre-boarding experience There she is. If you want in, the easiest way to do it is to sign up for Priority Pass. By the way, I highly recommend the Korean Air Lounge here at LAX. Um…have they identified any foods that help to protect against being infected with the Coronavirus yet? To be honest, I wasn’t aware of the severity of the situation in China yet so I went with a generous helping of wieners. I love this place! And no, I’m not just saying that because I am on my way up to what is arguably the best lounge in the entire airport. But first, a brief stop at the KAL Lounge Unmistakably LAX. I mean, I came here expecting the worst, but things seem to be starting off quite well thank you very much. You know, I’ve heard some really bad things about China Eastern over the years, but seeing fresh flowers, chairs, and complimentary bottled water here in the business class queue was…confusing. But what do I know? I hardly ever travel with more than a backpack. It was completely foolish of me to do this just as the Coronavirus was starting to spread, but – since when have I ever been sensible? Speaking of being sensible, it probably would have more sense for the guy ahead of me to have checked in a big box instead of suitcases (yes, you can check a box as luggage). Please stand by… There we go! Anyway, my name is Scott, I’m the founder and author of, and I just arrived at LAX on a flight up from San Diego to catch China Eastern flight number 586 to Shanghai.

I completely underestimated how long it was gonna take to walk from terminal 2 to the Tom Bradley International Terminal here at LAX, and the China Eastern portion of this video will begin in a moment.

My full review of China Eastern 777-300ER business class from Los Angeles to Shanghai Hold on just a second. By the way, I hope they got a really good deal on that livery design. Seat: 16A (business) China Eastern 777-300/ER side view illustration by. Los Angeles, CA (LAX) – Shanghai, China (PVG) If that’s not a ringing endorsement for a quality business class product, I don’t know what is. Nope – it wasn’t perfect, but never once did I have to threaten anyone with a tearful and overly-dramatic “ I’m never gonna fly this airline again!” because things didn’t go my way.

Quite comfortably and well-fed thank you very much. From rude crew members to horrible food – I was fully expecting this 14.5 hour flight to Shanghai to be the worst experience ever.īut you know what? I survived. The amount of negativity I’ve heard about this airline over the years is borderline comical. I know that it’s still early in the year and that I’ve still got a lot of flying to do, but I’ve got a hunch that China Eastern business class will be my biggest surprise of 2020.
