China Eastern A350 Business Class - it's better than the 787!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лип 2019
- So how does the same airline compare across 2 different aircraft? I recently flew on China Eastern from Australia via Shanghai to Amsterdam - one leg was on the 787 and the second leg was on the A350.
This review covers that second flight and I can honestly say that the A350 offered a much better customer experience. To see the China Eastern 787 review click on this link: • China Eastern 787-9 Bu...
This China Eastern A350 business class flight review also covers Shanghai Airport and compares it to the traditional transit hubs of Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai, Doha and Abu Dhabi.
Onboard I cover the China Eastern business class seat, the inflight service and their entertainment system.
Enjoy!
Route: Shanghai (PVG) to Amsterdam (AMS)
Length: 5,542 miles, 11:10 hrs
Flight: MU771 Seat 12A
Aircraft: Airbus A350-900 registration B-304D (Oct 2018)

Last time I was this early, Qantas was still called the Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services.
😂😂😂
Anonymous wait.... Qantas is an acronym? You really do learn something new every day.
@@kansascitysouthernfan6966 That's basic knowledge among avgeeks.
My nine year old son Elias does not miss a Bunnik travel edition. We never get on a plane without a “cheers, her’s to a great flight” Maybe we need a Bunnik holiday.....
Woah that wingtip at 9:01! Nice Dennis! Yeh the doors thing is bizarre. Otherwise it's a very good product and my hope is that as these second tier airlines get better and better, it'll bring down the prices of the more established airlines. I was looking at Qantas flight to Heathrow the other day and it was 14K in business! Those are first class prices!
@Sebastian Witheridge They charge what they can get away with I guess. The Aussie market is very lucrative for airlines and they have no excuse not to make big profits.
@@PaulStewartAviation Good point Paul, perhaps in the next few years we will have long range LCC everywhere after the dipping of the toe in the water with trans atlantic flights today. Then ULCC long haul, and people will look through their rose tinted aviators at the good old days with 14k flights where you felt like something at least a bit special. :)
My mum still goes on about flying boats when I mention your excellent channel Paul. Those were the days.
Back to the cricket.
PS How long have they been doing LCC trans atlantic? I remember Freddie Laker ! A man beyond his time sadly, got screwed by the system.
Paul Stewart try to fly on the new turkish airlines 787 from/to the new Istanbul airport please!
@@PaulStewartAviation Im Australian and it used to be 1800 RT To USA, and about 36 hours. I live in California and now see Flights under $600 and 15.5 hours. Wish I could afford Business Class to Australia.
Your reviews are very balanced. Loved the tea tasting. Your ‘cinematography’ is first class.
Personal note for you, Dennis. I know a few folks didnt believe what I had said about my dad watching Jebs vids. Dont care. He passed peacefully three days after my post. And I know, for fact... you and Jeb gave him joy. I dont know how to thank you.
Ill stop now. THANK YOU.
This is the first time I comment after following your vlogs for quite some time. Nice review! What I love most about your reviews is that you manage to squeeze all the information in usually less than 15 minutes. Some other reviews are just too long.... Keep up the good work!
It’s always going to be a fantastic day when you check your UA-cam notifications and see that Dennis Bunnik has uploaded!
Plus am I the only one that shouted “YES” when Dennis said he’s going to fly QANTAS’ London to Perth route?
always love your videos. . . and supporting other Australian entrepreneurs and their channels. Keep Up The Great Work !
I’m doing this EXACT same trip two weeks tomorrow, business class from Sydney to Shanghai (A350) and Shanghai to Amsterdam (A350), then on to Tallin, Estonia on god knows what. I’ve flown business class with China Southern a few times and it’s okay, obviously falls short of Singapore Airlines and my first class travel on Emirates and Qantas A380. I’m looking forward to my trip and thanks for posting this video.
Nice video, Dennis! I am very surprised that China Eastern Airline has a great business class seat. Cheers it's to a great flight! 😄
Another excellent video, Dennis. Great style of presenting, as ever. Thanks.
Nobody:
Absolutely no one:
Dennis: The best seats for couples are in the middle
Waking up on a Saturday morning,making breakfast and a good cup of tea,turning on my computer and find that Mr Bunnik has made a another great video. Perfect start of the weekend...
Greetings from Oslo,Norway
Another fabulous video Dennis and amazing product, thank you for sharing ✨✨👍🏻
Great review of China Eastern Dennis, would love to fly with them one day!
You were born in the Netherlands? I don't know why that surprised me, but it did. I'd love to hear more (maybe a vlog?). I absolutely love the Netherlands. One of my all-time favorite countries.
I love the Business Class pods on China Eastern! The A350 is an amazing plane!
NYC Flyer yup, fantastic. Getting on a LCA SINGAPORE flight this konth on Qatar q suite. With the 350 1000. Cannot wait 😊
That’s amazing! I’m jealous
No warm nuts, but a decent looking cabin. Great review as always, Dennis!
Thanks for another great Video, espacially for sharing your experience with the transfer in Shanghai👍
Whenever I am in any part of China for holiday, I always switch on VPN and voila! I have access to FB, Instagram, Whatsapp etc. I like Shanghai especially Shanghai Disneyland which has fantastic rides such as Tron and Pirates of Caribbean. Nice Biz class. I've always enjoyed yr biz class reviews as they helped to narrow down my upgrade options for long haul. My miles are precious and so I focus only on certain airlines for biz class. Thank you Dennis.
Those packs of playing cards you received was a major throwback to a pair of cards I received on Singapore Airlines way back in early 2009. All emblazoned with the A380, not long after they were delivered to SQ.
Love your video’s, veel plezier in Nederland 🇳🇱
Hi Dennis
Another great review, I always look forward to seeing what you are up to around the world.
I hope your family in Holland were all well.
Regards
DS
On your walk from the lounge to the gate not one of those shops behind you was open. Departure time must have been very late! Looking forward. Another great review. Thanks.
Francis McDonnell Standard China eastern operations. Flights to Europe usually depart somewhere between 10pm and 1am. Flew out of PVG at 1am to Paris. Benefit is the early morning arrival
Great review - the Chinese certainly are getting better! Also - I love your new haircut 😍
Travelleing from a hub always guarantees good food !
One day i will fly business on a 747 or 350....
Thank you for your videos dennis, I really appreciate it😁
Cheers
Hey there Dennis. Please do another tour of Amsterdam, and its local cusines. Love the channel. Keep them video posting. Well done mate
The internet restrictions alone make China a no go for a transit hub. Both out of principle and also practically
Exectly
Great video as always. I just flew the A350 Premium Business in row 1, great product, huge length in seat as well and amazing tv screen. But soft product needs a bit of work and I found the seat a bit narrow.
Thank you, Dennis, for sharing another great video!
Great review! Nice video as always. I really enjoy your videos :-)
Another fantastic video Dennis... Well done
What makes China Eastern particularly interesting is that you can use QF FF points. Because they are evidently happy to take the discounted FF points price it means you can almost always get business class seats on QF pts through to Europe.
Excellent review. Thanks for showing the menu in a way that I could read it. Very few other vloggers do that and it's quite frustrating. The menu on a long haul Business Class flight is an important factor in choosing an airline. Kudos to you for taking the time to do this. Take care and Happy Travels!
It’s been two years since I’ve watched you, and I love your videos, Keep Flying!
I really liked the music you used this time :) Two thumbs up.
By the way, can you speak Dutch since you were born in Holland?
Blimey, looks like the flight attendant had an argument with the top of your welcome glass of champagne! Never seen such a meagre offering!
When ultra long haul flights become more common in the next 10 years or so I'm wondering whether traditional hubs like Singapore and Dubai will receive fewer visitors. Personally, I would go nuts on an 18 hour flight unless I was in business class (but then I couldn't afford it!). Another fantastic video, Dennis. Cheers!
I think flying through hubs like Singapore and Dubai will stay cheaper than the direct ultra long haul flights - and that's a good thing - I couldn't handle an 18 hour economy flight either. 12 hours is my limit
Louie R The cheapest tickets with Singapore Airlines to New York is when they make a stopover in Germany. The 18-19 hour direct flights has the most expensive tickets.
I'd rather have a direct flight from Australia to Europe than have to risk transferring through the Middle East, since I'm transgender and I'd rather not risk getting stopped there
Bethany Bloomfield that can not be any in Singapore, they probably have the oldest ladyboy community in the world
Not sure Dennis what time you filmed your walk to the aircraft but almost all the shops in the terminal appeared to be closed so either early morning or late at night ?? Ok I worked out early morning !! Good old G and T...but were your nuts warm ? Excellent review once again DB!! Looked like a very good flight and would consider flying with them to Europe ! Well done mate and looking forward to flying with you again and " here's to a good flight " Love it !!
As a Chinese, it's nice to see you reviewing a Chinese airline, especially China Eastern which is my hometown airline. Hope you enjoy your time onboard and welcome to China.
Could you do a Q&A session some time? I think that'd be really cool and a super neat treat! Cheers and safe travels!
Hi Dennis. Another informative video thank you. I have flown China Eastern in the past and found them very good. I recently flew both A350-900 and A350-1000 with Qatar in their Q Suite and I must say I believe them to be the best aircraft around today. I have also flown both 787-8 and 787-9 and found them not as comfy or as roomie as the A350. My first choice when possible would be an A350 over 787's.
Did not know you were Dutch, Dennis! Very cool!
Great stuff as always Dennis. I didnt realise you are The Flying Dutchman!
Dennis, Great review. Thanks
Nice haircut man, looking dapper. Cheers!
Kinda took a U turn at 9:30 though.... x^D
I don’t know if it’s the same with the rest of China’s airports but they have a temperature sensor as soon as you land. I wonder where they send people who have a fever?😳 Directions for international travelers are printed boldly in color. Also, if you want to shop , you better have Chinese cash, even Starbucks wouldn’t accept the usual Visa or MasterCard. I think they use Alipay or WeChat. I didn’t see an ATM nearby and I wasn’t gonna incur fees to buy a drink I can get back home.... I was skeptical about China Eastern Airlines but it was way more comfortable than United Polaris. I slept so good I missed breakfast on my flight to San Francisco.
You really need a VPN Dennis if you are in China to ensure proper internet access and protect your data from Chinese state security.
I appreciate your trip reports. They are fair and informative and actually helpful to travelers. Thank you.
Great review! Are you one day going to tell us more about growing up in Amsterdam, how old you were when you left, etc?
Agreed! wonder if he speaks any dutch?
I’ve always thought they were not that good but your review was good enough to change my mind thanks
I was wondering if their hub was great for a long layover, but as you say it lacks the "bells and whistles" which pretty much answers my question. It doesn't look 'bad' at all, just lacking in non-shopping amenities. With that in mind, I'll be sure to minimize my layovers. Thanks, Dennis. It's little nuggets of info like this which go a long way in helping make travel decisions.
Thank you for sharing your travels with us. Happy travels.
Love your channel and have been watching your videos for a while. Thank you for your informative reviews. I’m about to head from the UK to Brisbane to visit my sister. For the first time in a while, I intend to travel Business Class. I’d be curious on what you might recommend to make the experience special? Tanks for wonderful content. Much love from Reading in the UK.
not BA and their dreaded 2-4-2 bussiness class: ua-cam.com/video/LGCkoapvXT8/v-deo.html
Another great video. Loved the tea tasting. Very rock 'n' roll
As much as I love Boeing aircraft, I hate the way cabin staff can make the window dimmers inoperative on overnight flights. Miss opportunities to get nice sunrise photos.
This is done to keep the cabin in sleep mode so as not to be bothering the crew.
@@francismcdonnell753 Yes, so I learned. It's quite frustrating though when they conveniently forget to turn them back on until about 2 hours before a morning arrival.
Also, your new hair cut looks smashing. 👌
LTE in China (with western phone) you can access all apps/full internet
Hilarious (for those playing at home): Must have been amazing to see Syktyvkar and Kotlas from above.
Been watching VASAVIATION... great ATC/PILOT channel. How these guys handle emergencies is amazing to hear, and very emotional. And Dennis pops up now, and brings me peace in flight.
It's funny, a day after this is published Josh Cahill does a review of the new A350 on China Southern!
Again another great video. Should visit Zaandam for a change.
I like your way of presentation, cinematography. I never miss your videos because they are meant for increasing knowledge base towards tourism aviation in business & first class unlike Mr. Sam Chui (I used to be a strong follower of him ) who has diverted towards his updates related to Sponsorships & commercialization ( Not really relevant to normal travellers)
I’m actually quite excited for the London-Perth report. The fact that this non-stop route was just created in the past year or so and is a testament to technology and how big this planet really is.
Love the review
Best channel ever!!!
Always nice to see the approach on Amsterdam, even from a mobile screen it feels like comming home.
Hi Dennis,Thanks for your great job, that helps me choose te airlines with which i plan to fly ;)
Great vid as always mate
Same Day, when i startet my China Holiday-Trip with my family!
Nice video mate! These suite are really nice!
Seriously though, love this product ! Awesome review
Shanghai lounge is great, but the food is not cater for westerners.
It.s huge like Asian style fresh Noddles bar with food heavy on pork...
But I think they improve lot , and hopefully keep improving.
Your tea tasting tempted me to go make myself a cuppa
Great video! China Eastern offers great fares and their A350 BIZ class is wonderful! Have a good one catching up with your family and friends! 😊
Actually, with DashLane on your phone you can use the VPN to get around the great firewall.
Good video! Schiphol is coming home for me. I flew CX ams-hkg frequent and recent in economy. So glad the a350 replaced the 777 on this route because CX is going to 10 abreast in there. Triples...
Hope to see a KLM review one Day! Celebrate there 100 birthday!
Hope you had ‘gezellige dagen’ with friends and Family.
Great video Dennis! What is the name of the song played during takeoff in this video? Thanks
Once took a train from Saint Petersburg to Kotlas :-). Funny you should mention this place in your video,. Thanks for another great video
Big Den, living it large
Great video. However, I would avoid PVG if at all possible. Ignoring the fact that you have to go landslide and reclear security for your next flight, you are at the mercy of the Chinese military ATC. If they are running an exercise, you are stuck until they clear.
great Video today Dennis
Daughter lives in Australia so been many times , flights gone up loads post Covid so looking at different airlines to get good value business class … done Emirates, Etihad and Singapore but weighting up china as good price , xx
Wow, Dennis, these east Asian airlines are really impressing me, wonder if they might use the new Comac C919 planes?
Adelio Kilcullen I Hope not, I wouldn’t fly on them.
On a Chinese carrier, even though you might not see them but definitely you will hear them.
I was wondering why all of the shops were closed in the background, then I saw a departure time on the monitor of 00h40. Another great video.
Can't go to china without VPN brother! But if you are only on transit, you can probably live without your emails and Facebook? Also, I'd be wary of using work emails on Chinese free WiFi. They do
Hi Dennis - great review! I believe PJ’s are available upon request :)
What was super annoying with China Eastern biz class seat is the TV overhang right above the knees. I couldn't sleep at all as I like to move my legs around and kept bumping into it.
Another great review!
Looking very nice....Relaxing in that Business Class looks nice....
Nice vid Dennis. Didn’t you just get back from Vietnam, Laos, Thailand and Singapore? Since your going to Amsterdam, does this mean there’s a food and fam vid coming? Looking forward to the Dennis vs the new BA business class. Happy trails Dennis!
Had to upload out of sequence so that I wouldn't have 2 China Eastern reviews in a row - also the Indochina business trip video took much longer to edit. Sadly no food video from my quick visit to Amsterdam this time but rest assured I ate like a beast! Really looking forward to flying the new BA business as well. cheers D
Thanks Dennis (off topic: cool he does exist).
Awesome video!!
Not an airline comment, just got to say, the haircut is on point! Keep it that way, u look like brad Pitt from the movie Fury. The A350 is Better than the 787. I also don’t like the no window shades on the 787. Why make a problem when there isn’t one. What happens when an electrical/systems issue occurs and the windows won’t dim.
Nice video and looks like a good product. I like the doors that give you extra privacy at night. Happy flying!
Always look forward to a Dennis review. Even got a bonus tea review this time! 😆 Are you doing a Cathay Pacific A350 business class review any time soon? I'm flying MEL-HKG-DUB with them in November and would love to hear your thoughts!
Yes, that will be the next one uploaded in a week or so. Cheers D
@@DennisBunnikTravels Fantastic, look forward to it! :-)
Nice to know that you are a Dutchie!
Great video Dennis, looks like a good product. Can’t beat the Middle Eastern carriers though - except the ones which don’t serve gin and tonics
Much better is Singapore Airlines or JAL, since the middle eastern carriers are state-owned by states that fund terrorism, and I'm pretty sure all the Chinese carriers are state-owned too
Good review again,a question to ask why to put your hand on the plane when boarding?
Good luck. I do it too
Love your videos - would you do reviews on what luggage you use?
