TS-Andy flew China Eastern Airlines Business, on a A320 (04/03/2012 05:12)

Flew business on flight MU546 from SIN to PVG on 28 Feb 2012.

Boarding was ok with the usual greetings. Business class seats occupied the 1st 2 rows. My seat was in the first row. Plane interior looked aged. Legroom not generous even for the 1st row.

Cabin crew don't greet premier passengers by their names. IFE was primitive - those screens with common boardcast. Seats were those with limited recline. Batteries charging facilities were available within the seats .

We were not offered newspapers or mazagines to read. Knowing the practices of this airline, I usually brought my own mazagines and papers otherwise I would be bored with the slightly over 5-hr flight. Ok, I admit these reading materials were taken from business class lounge at the airport where I departed.

For lunch, choices were fish steak, beef noodles, or rice with chicken. We have fruits and Haagen Dazs ice-cream for dessert. For beverages, yes there were a few choices of wines but no hard liqours.

Oh, they do allow economy class passengers to use the only washroom in the business class.
