China Eastern Business Class

Airline overview

China Eastern is based at Shanghai Pudong and is a SkyTeam member. Their A350 business class is a major upgrade with a modern reverse herringbone product.

The business class experience

China Eastern Business Class features Lie-flat reverse herringbone (A350). Seat width is 22 inches and fully extended bed length is 78 inches — comfortable for passengers up to about 6'3" (190cm) to sleep fully flat. The seat layout on China Eastern's long-haul widebody aircraft typically offers direct aisle access for every business class passenger, so you never have to climb over a seatmate.

In-flight entertainment is delivered via 17-inch touchscreen. Dining on China Eastern: Shanghai and international cuisine. Baggage allowance in business class: 2 × 32kg checked. All flights include amenity kits, premium bedding, and priority boarding/baggage handling.

Lounges and ground experience

At the home hub: China Eastern Business Lounge (PVG). At other airports worldwide: SkyTeam partner lounges worldwide. Lounge access is included with your business class ticket — you show your boarding pass at the lounge entrance and receive food, drinks, WiFi, and dedicated workspaces until boarding time.

On the ground at departure, China Eastern business class passengers get dedicated check-in counters, fast-track security lanes where available, and priority boarding. At arrival, baggage is tagged with priority labels and comes out first — typically saving 15-30 minutes versus economy on heavily-loaded flights.

What travelers say

“A350 product is significantly improved. Good for Shanghai travel. SkyTeam membership and Delta partnership make connections convenient. Shanghai cuisine is well represented.”
