Prologue:

Hi everyone,

Finally my first TR is coming out! Let's travel to Jinzhou in the North East of China Mainland. The second TR will be the return from this flight.

As usually in China, I'll flight with China Eastern Airlines which is one of the 3 biggest Chinese airline companies.

Let's start from Shanghai Pudong, terminal 1 from the domestic departures.

The premium check-in area for domestic flight is located on the area A.

There are no queuing lines people go to the available counter by their own.

The sky priority access let us go directly to the control area.

We arrived early at the airport to enjoy the lounge and the food. However an unpleasant staff refused us the access saying it's reserved only for international flight... But we are in a domestic terminal... I contacted the FlyingBlue assistance and they informed that lounges are accessible for international flight or correspondance flight. That's noted for my next domestic flight in Pudong do not arrive too early!

The boarding is scheduled at 11:25am so 10min before we started to reach the gate. However it has been changed and surprised on the flight board the status changed to "final call" so we started to run to reach the gate!

I'm on the aisle side on the seat 36C. There is enough space for me and it's possible to adjust the head support.

The plane is full today which makes sense as there is only a return per day.

Lunch set was sausage and rice some green beas and a juice. It was pretty good to eat for once.

The only entertainment is the plane was the common movie but without earphone to listen to it. Hopefully Chinese movies are subtitles into English and Chinese. I also recommend you to watch this comedy i do enjoy it and it's called "Mr Billionnaire"

Summary:

I hope you enjoyed this first report. More will come soon.
This 1st domestic flight of the year taught me that lounge is not allowed to access for the domestic flight, at least in Shanghai Pudong, so next time, I won't arrive that early hoping to eat for free in the lounge!

    Jolie prestation éco pour ce vol d'un peu plus de 2 heures :
    -Un repas, des écrans centraux, un fauteuil qui donne l'impression d'être moelleux vu ce qu'on connait en Europe...

    Merci, Antoine, pour ce fort intéressant reportage. A bientôt pour la suite !

    Merci Antoine pour ce 1er TR.

    Règle idiote qui te fait poireauter pour rien à l'aéroport le ventre vide.
    A bord, c'est pas mal pour un vol de 2h.
    Le plat principal semble bon.

    A bientôt.
