Having just flown London Heathrow to Shanghai return on China Eastern Airways i feel i must warn people thinking of using this airline the experience of myself and 2 colleagues. We Travelled Business Class, when we boarded the aircraft we found the Business Class section was not even in the same league as economy on BA, Emirates or Cathay Pacific. We spoke to the Purser who to our suprise commented " did your travel agent not tell you that Business Class is not very good on this airline." I am 5' 6'' tall and struggled with leg room when the seat infront was reclined The food if you could call it that was disgusting the entertainment system a joke, 2 English films to choose from on the way out and only 1 on the way back! The most worrying thing was that on the way back there was no saftey briefing before take off. I would rather walk than use this airline again. Be warned!

Summary: This airline is worse than any cheap charter airline
