China Eastern is ok. Itâs a flight. If you are flying economy then itâs just another bus.
That reminds me, if you do go through security to leave the airport Iâm not sure if you need the covid âtracking appâ on your phone. They can sometimes check your devises, so make sure donât have any music by Unholy Grave. 
Avoid it like the plague. Even if all goes well youâre still stuck in a tube with aâŚparticular clientele who will make you wish youâd spent a few extra bucks on an airline based in another nation.
I will let you know all about when I am back in August. 
Ive flown China Eastern quite a bit. After the first meal service on flight to London, they had run out of beer. But its ok. Chinese tourists can be noisy but better than before. Service is perfunctory. Food is ok. Worse than most Asian airlines, but kinda equal with North American ones.
You are just going to watch some movies and get some shit sleep in a chair anyway.
Oh online people say that they donât give headphones now, which is mental. So bring some wired headphones
Indian passport holder attempts to transit in Shanghai en route to Japanâand was singled out and detained at Shanghai Pudong Airport. Why? Her crime was to be born in Indiaâs northeast which includes territories the PRC claims it owns (fact check: it doesnât).

A lot of âshe claimedâ in thereâŚ
Are you expecting an official statement from Shanghai Pudong on this matter?
I think this Indian womanâs error was to presume that China Eastern and Shanghai Pudong are regular commercial operations in the ways we typically understand them. They are not. They are state enterprises directly under the CCP and their first priority is to carry out the goals of the CCP, not to behave nicely or to act in the best interests of a commercial enterprise.

Are you expecting un-biased reporting from the Times of India in regards to China? Maybe it happened exactly as she claimed. Maybe there is more to the story than âChina bad.â
We have numerous active forumosans from India. I am pretty certain they can read critically, much like you and I read critically, and draw their own conclusions.
