I was really suspicious of all those airline reviews. We always travel by emirates which I hate. Hmm why, lets see screaming toddler, gossipy indian aunties, people lining up outside washroom and not cleaning after themselves, iodex rubbing grannies, stewards hating themselves for the job.
We were not aware of dates this time so emirates filled up,we decided China Eastern. If you see their reviews, you might just dread the experience.
I loved it. Yes, it was amazing. Whole flight was full of polite silent people.
It was like a different civilization. Aaah we had a full school trip of students on flight and none of them made noise. When they wanted to use washroom, they used themselves. They ate themselves. No fuss, no tantrums. Hell, they groomed themselves, took care of their bags. One kid sat next to us and she was better than any adults on emirates. Perfect setup. Pin drop silence.
There were no inter seat talks. Even one year olds were comfortable. We couldn't order food in advance but it worked out well. We are good with salads, fruits, peanuts. Green tea was the tea. It actually was the best option. Seats were as comfortable and spacious as other airlines. The air hostesses just had some problem with english but they were not arrogant. They tried to understand as much as possible.
Washrooms were super clean, people were careful and polite. No one stood up for bags, they waited till the person in front seat got out. They closed windows when asked to. The kind of discipline and peace this flight had won us over. Their flight instruction videos were entertaining. I swear first time in life, if something happened I would have known how to inflate that safety jacket. In the end, there were some awesome stretching videos to recover from flight while sitting on your seat. Their entertainment section had enough movies, tv shows to help us doze off. Some of the chinese movies were heart touching. No I didn't cry or may be I did. They even brought water at regular intervals to keep people hydrated.
The only downside is we have to go all the way to lax to catch this flight.
If you are a peaceful considerate person who can be silent for 20 hours while enjoying salads, this is for you. Smile smile, rude stares might get you banished psychologically.
If you like to talk to people in flight or want indian food and english understanding staff, don't take this one. It might frustrate you and others.
