Tried Air China in 2018 and China Eastern business class in January this year, China Eastern is probably the best airline in China and I love the crew's uniform.
Yeah, especially for domestic flights. You can expect mushy pork rice that can make Gordon Ramsey call names if you are departing some small airports. BTW, China Eastern has a budget airline brand called China United Airlines (codename KN) and features beef curry for RMB¥35.

Great look at another rising star in world aviation. I agree the ZZ button would mean do not wake me for meals etc. I like to look of the cabin and privacy of the seats! Food looked pretty good and I hope it tasted ok? Well done Josh!!
What I really enjoy about your vlogs is your honesty about your experiences that you have. So thankyou. It gives me different airlines to experience 👍👍👍
Josh ... the button with the zz on it may turn on the “do not disturb” (illuminated seat number might turn from white to perhaps red color) on the outside of your cubicle ... especially useful for when this aircraft is utilized for long hauls and the passenger is sleeping. Just a guess. Interesting to have a droopy half dead flower in the bathroom. 🤔
Awesome video! I just flew to Okinawa using China eastern and I was wondering the difference between first class and business class since we only walked through one cabin. After watching your video, I’ll definitely have to take business class next time.
nice video and is a nice a350. You mention about the movies that there is not a big selection but sometimes FA program the route on the aircraft, so if it is a short flight that only comes with a preset amount of movies, series and the longest the flight is the more you get, that normally happen when u preset the IFE system on the plane before the flight is set to only certain things.
Great video! I just flew AA from CDG to JFK in business class and they have upped their game. You should review them. Peace and a joyful holiday season!
Thanks for your video!! I'm a big fan of you :) Can I ask something? What camera do you use? I think you handle at least two cameras include GoPro7.. Am I right? I would like to take a video like your clear images~
Very nice review, looks like a great plane. I am flying on MU in business class in August, ORD to BKK via PVG but have some concerns about transiting in Shanghai. Do you or does anyone else have any information good or bad to share? FYI - I have a 3 hour layover.
Hey Josh, Great review, I must say a pretty good setup for a domestic flight. Is China Eastern intending to use these for international in the future ? Also how do you feel about the soft product on China Eastern, I get mixed reports ?
Hi Josh, I've been following u since the start of the year and your reviews are getting better and better man!! I think its probably even better than other reviewers🤗 already looking forward to your next review!!😝
Guten Tag. Apart from having great reviews, this man is absolutely gorgeous and bezaubernd. 0:57 It's great that you pronounce "Beijing" correctly. The way you pronounce "the" (da/dee) and "thing" (fing) makes you even more adorable. Love it. Sei glücklich. Damit provozierst du sie alle am meisten!
Great that China Eastern reached out to you with a pleasant acknowledgment here Josh. Since you asked, that A330 BC seat you had was very nice indeed. Do you think the cost of your ticket was worth it?
wish to add that in China they often sell an F fare but change aircraft to all J and no refunds or pretend not to understand esp Air China and points issued in J and difference can be considerable
Hey Josh i have been on the journey from mid last year and i feel your reviews are the most honest of the bunch. I too hope to travel and explore the world in the way you do and post about it o YT. i feel the airbus a350 is not wide enough to give comfort for first class. Whats your view about it and first class in the 787?
Since the video, Malaysia Airlines has cancelled First Class and in its place is Business Suites. As Malaysia is not that high yielding of a market, as it’s not as premium oriented as Singapore.
My only comment there is that the plastic cups seemed were washed and reused cuz it smells. thats why I didnt use them. but the service amd food were excellent.
Hi Josh, firstly thanks for the great review and detail - superb. I am flying this aircraft on the Sydney to Shanghai and Shanghai to Amsterdam route in July, I am looking forward to it. I seem to have developed an increased phobia of flying over the last few years, in particular turbulence which freaks me out. Do you ever get concerned by turbulence or flying in general and if so, are these fears heightened when you travel on airlines that others do not consider "mainstream"? Thanks.
You use the chop sticks in the correct way. Very impressive👍 because many Chinese young people don't know how to use them correctly. Great video as always👏
9:42 Impressive, yes, but Chinese usually do not eat rice by picking up clumps of it with chopsticks. That is a Japanese practice because they eat rice that has a shorter grain and a stickier texture. Perhaps Chinese Eastern serves a short or medium grain. Chinese prefer a long grain rice.
They wiose it to SYD sometimes and do net sell F but can upgrade at the desk for a fee but not advertised esp as no divider unlike 773-quite astonishing really
Hi Josh I will be flying the MU562. From Sydney to Shanghai Pudong International Airport on the A350-900 on economy class. do you have any idea how the economy class is?
now you are lucky to arrive the better bussiness class from China Eastern... ✌ i am you big fan from Bangladesh.. always waiting for your next review ❤
The safety demo has a new version for Airbus350? It looks bit different from it's Boeing777-300ER'. I saw on Weibo that it's wifi is still not available. And due to significant latency and low speed, most traditional VPNs(like ExpressVPN) which work mostly on the ground barely work on that wifi, Shadowsocks and it's derivations will work.
Do you have the plan to experience Shanghai Airlines' B789? They use the same seat product with China Eastern Airlines A359, but the first row is the First class. You can experience if they have the different service for the first row.
@Dear Father I currently live in Taiwan, and I don't think smoking is allowed on flights in most countries including China. However, the issue is that regulations are not enforced, and I've heard from many people regarding smoking on Chinese airlines, including Air China and China Eastern
Did you really just tasted that piece of fish and rice and decided to threw away everything else on your table ? woow you didn't even tried everything to judge the quality and threw all this amazing food.... such a shame.
Josh Cahil I am quite curious to know how do you manage your travel cost? So far I know air traveling cost is so expensive even you love to board on business class/ first class. If you nevermind, please let me know bro. Thanks
Nice Josh! Hope you get over the misfortune from MAS and keep posting great airline reviews. Further on MAS their crew just have bad public relation skills even if passengers were to criticize them. That should not be the case. SIA is just too far ahead of them and can even forget about going head on with Garuda and Thai. I'm sure in the coming time PAL and Vietnam Airlines will pull ahead of MAS and there'll be left to rot among her regional peers!
Hi, Josh, we are really late on RUclips but excited to watch your review about our service. We do hope to fly with you again in the near future.
hi China Eastern Airlines!!!
@@ritz84in Many Thanks. So glad to hear from you!
东东诶
Very Very Very Nice
I am considering flying to Cebu from UK on china Eastern seen some good reviews and ticket price not way over priced like others
Amazing! Looks like first class with the cabins!
Looks a good service Josh - great chop stick control lol
Always look forward to your video notifications coming up on my screen haha! Another great review Josh!
Your reviews are informative and honest .Keep doing the work you do.
Tried Air China in 2018 and China Eastern business class in January this year, China Eastern is probably the best airline in China and I love the crew's uniform.
China southern, Hainan airlines and Sichuan airlines are better
wow that rice looks so fluffy! Usually rice even in business or first class looks a bit dry or stuck together like it was molded into a shape.
chinese knows how to cook rice, we cooked that for thousands of years already.
I know...I'm Chinese. However, some airlines even chinese the rice served you can tell that it is not fresh at all.
Plane looks amazing, great vid.
love ur smiles.
totally tempting to watch the whole vid.
And as for it's catering, in mainland China besides from it's main hubs-SHA and PVG, the quality of the catering varies dramatically.
Yeah, especially for domestic flights. You can expect mushy pork rice that can make Gordon Ramsey call names if you are departing some small airports. BTW, China Eastern has a budget airline brand called China United Airlines (codename KN) and features beef curry for RMB¥35.
china eastern 20 77W flag-shippers has already been a game changer and its 33L,77W,359,789 and 33E/H has pretty good business classes with 1-2-1.
China Eastern doesn’t operate any 789s
Yes it does. China Eastern ordered 15 789s. 10 for Shanghai Airlines and 5 for China Eastern YunNan Company. @@JoshCahill
Doesn’t mean they operate them...
They do operate 5 789s, by their Yunan Division. @@JoshCahill

Nice bulge. Lol
Do Garuda Indonesia please..
tried looking in their website to get some info about their business and first class but nothing on their website
I was really waiting for your videos....I love the way you explain and give out the reviews!!!
Great look at another rising star in world aviation. I agree the ZZ button would mean do not wake me for meals etc. I like to look of the cabin and privacy of the seats! Food looked pretty good and I hope it tasted ok? Well done Josh!!
What I really enjoy about your vlogs is your honesty about your experiences that you have. So thankyou. It gives me different airlines to experience 👍👍👍
Thanks William, yeah I'm trying to give you the best and most authentic experience always.
Josh ... the button with the zz on it may turn on the “do not disturb” (illuminated seat number might turn from white to perhaps red color) on the outside of your cubicle ... especially useful for when this aircraft is utilized for long hauls and the passenger is sleeping. Just a guess. Interesting to have a droopy half dead flower in the bathroom. 🤔
Haha yes I figured out the DND button as well and yes the flower was a bit alarming, especially on the second day of service hahahaa
Whenever I feel like travelling in an aeroplane, I watch your videos :)
So surprised you flew back into China. Wish I could fly around like you do.
Hello Josh great to see u back man with ur new review,business class of this airline & also staff are great.
Shanghai Airlines’ 787 business class is even better, although it’s a subsidiary of China eastern and both seats are Vantage XL
Daniel K. Chian better in what way? Haha since I’m flying on their 787 business (SH Airlines) later this month
This business class is amazing!
Marvelous product .. Thanks josh for sharing this lovely experience..
That seat looks really nice! I would be keen to try this product!
Air China and China Eastern airlines are two of the best companies I've flown
I love your reviews
All the very best Mr Josh
Wow didn't expect this chinese Bussiness Class gonna be amazing, looks like GA First Class with smaller legroom
Awesome video! I just flew to Okinawa using China eastern and I was wondering the difference between first class and business class since we only walked through one cabin. After watching your video, I’ll definitely have to take business class next time.
China eastern is most affordable first class long haul fare as compare with 90% of other airlines in the the industry.
very enjoyable as normal
Thanks mate!
Valuable update And as always very well presented - Thank you :)
amazing Business class! Great tripreport.
nice video and is a nice a350. You mention about the movies that there is not a big selection but sometimes FA program the route on the aircraft, so if it is a short flight that only comes with a preset amount of movies, series and the longest the flight is the more you get, that normally happen when u preset the IFE system on the plane before the flight is set to only certain things.

Great video and wonderful business product
Awesome Video ! Thank you 🙏🏻
My pleasure :)
What kind of equipment do you use to record. I'm looking for a small portable camera to document a trip this summer.
awesome video i have a question is there a amenity kit?
Hey Josh, i was wondering what camera do you use?
Thanks for your video!! I'm a big fan of you :)
Can I ask something? What camera do you use? I think you handle at least two cameras include GoPro7.. Am I right? I would like to take a video like your clear images~
You’re so freaking lucky !!!!!!!❤️✈️
I wish I was lucky haha
Very nice review, looks like a great plane.

"zzzz" is actually supposed to be the sound effect of a person snoring haha!
Hey Josh,
Great review, I must say a pretty good setup for a domestic flight.
Is China Eastern intending to use these for international in the future ?
Also how do you feel about the soft product on China Eastern, I get mixed reports ?
They will start using it on flight from Shanghai to Frankfurt next year. Also the soft product was great. Overall I was pretty impressed.
Josh Cahill thanks for the update :)
Now that’s a 5 star hard product from my country’s airline
Thinking about booking CE business flights for a long haul.. should I? Thanks for the vid
Hi Josh, I've been following u since the start of the year and your reviews are getting better and better man!! I think its probably even better than other reviewers🤗 already looking forward to your next review!!😝

i really miss this pre covid time.....
A great video❤

cool. Wanna take this flight on

My only comment there is that the plastic cups seemed were washed and reused cuz it smells. thats why I didnt use them. but the service amd food were excellent.
Im curious with the small space(?) In the lavatory. Is that the entrance?
Hi Josh, firstly thanks for the great review and detail - superb. I am flying this aircraft on the Sydney to Shanghai and Shanghai to Amsterdam route in July, I am looking forward to it.

I enjoyed the review. Well presented and professional. But, Cola really! I am sure they had some really good wines that we don't know about.
Hi Josh. Would you fly them all the way from AKL to Europe? How do you rate them against CX?
You use the chop sticks in the correct way. Very impressive👍 because many Chinese young people don't know how to use them correctly. Great video as always👏
9:42 Impressive, yes, but Chinese usually do not eat rice by picking up clumps of it with chopsticks. That is a Japanese practice because they eat rice that has a shorter grain and a stickier texture. Perhaps Chinese Eastern serves a short or medium grain. Chinese prefer a long grain rice.
That first class was actually called premium business class. China eastern will sell it on its long haul flight.
I love your reviews
Thanks Axel!
Hello Bonjour Josh awesome vidéo. A company to try do they do long flight from Europe or France?
They fly between Pekin and Paris!
They wiose it to SYD sometimes and do net sell F but can upgrade at the desk for a fee but not advertised esp as no divider unlike 773-quite astonishing really
I’m going to fly china eastern from Shanghai to JFK in April. Do u have an idea if they will use this aircraft for this route?
They plan to fly it between Shanghai and Frankfurt from February onwards but perhaps they put it on the JFK route in April. Fingers crossed!
Thanks for the response Josh
Great video
Hi Josh I will be flying the MU562. From Sydney to Shanghai Pudong International Airport on the A350-900 on economy class. do you have any idea how the economy class is?
it's like you we're inside the cockpit when in HUD camera mode... intresting
It's pretty legit isn't it?
yep
Thank you for this another great video, who is the best airline for you : Hainan or China eastern, let us know..best regards
I love Hainan for it's service and food but I prefer this seat to Hainan's one. The other Chinese Carriers are closing the gap now.
thank u from Bangladesh, Sir
now you are lucky to arrive the better bussiness class from China Eastern... ✌
i am you big fan from Bangladesh..
always waiting for your next review ❤
Me to
Is it just me or 56k something subscribers from last week suddenly became 60k something,......... Great review as always Josh
Thanks Arthur, yeah it's going somewhere, glad you enjoy them!
@@JoshCahill wonder is u wanna give Air Asia another review, and sorry about how Malaysia Airlines treated u, hope u give them another chance🙂🙏🇲🇾
The button is probably a do not disturb sleep button
What a great vlog nice
The safety demo has a new version for Airbus350? It looks bit different from it's Boeing777-300ER'. I saw on Weibo that it's wifi is still not available.

Their Economy class is also very good.
Is that seat belt 3 point?
Very nice!
Not bad isn’t it!
They need this plane for the JFK to Shanghai route, esp since it's their longest route
Welcome to China guys !
Both this and Delta D1 are vantage xls, Explains why it is so similar
The China eastern airlines catering still have a lot of improvement to catch up
Amazing
What international route will they deploy the a350 on
They will use on Shanghai to Frankfurt flights.
Looks like first class, hope it can fly from PVG to JFK.
Does VPN works on Chinese flights?
I tried it and the answer is yes haha
Josh Cahill 😂😂😂
Looks like a copy and paste from the newer Fuxing train business class
I'm thinking of flying business class but I have a toddler and I'm paying for his seat, maybe economy is better for proximity
Sandra Miciel Go some business have 2x2 configuration. Try find airline with this 😊 you can see when you choose seats.
Seems like you are a very frequent commuter on the route of Beijing-Shanghai !!!
please make a video of Mahan Air
Maybe that's something for next year haha
thanks you sir
sir you make video better than Sam chui
Please try Garuda Indonesia 🙏 😊
Please try Iran Air
Honestly, the electronic window shades are *lit!* :) Did you experience any cigarette smell during the flight?
No I didn't lol
Ethan Yang - Aviation and Travel what do you mean? Have they been catching fire?
@@someone321 Nah, it's just that there are some that reported pilots and others smoking during the flight on China Eastern.
Dan Ho whaaaaat??? That’s crazy!!!!
@Dear Father I currently live in Taiwan, and I don't think smoking is allowed on flights in most countries including China. However, the issue is that regulations are not enforced, and I've heard from many people regarding smoking on Chinese airlines, including Air China and China Eastern
zz button, means SLEEP mode, - lie flat bed
Why not try the plane on the right of A350? Shanghai airlines B789 B-1111,the Business class is the same as A350.Also very fantastic
Did you really just tasted that piece of fish and rice and decided to threw away everything else on your table ? woow you didn't even tried everything to judge the quality and threw all this amazing food.... such a shame.
Hey josh. I would suggest you to change your camera and get better camera. Thank you
