Cons: Veg meal options
review from -
2.6
Cons: The seats provide very little space which is especially bad when traveling for many hours, the food options were quite bad, this is the only flight that i've been asked to take my headphones off during take off and 30 mins to an hour before landing and it makes no sense, the crew was quite rude and not helpful and overall the quality of the aircraft is quite dated and was left in a bit of disarray.

Pros: The price was good
Cons: I had issues when I was checking in as the ground staff said my name in my reservation did not match the name in their system. This is a problem which they need to resolve internally as I wrote my name correct

7.3
Cons: I've found China Eastern to be much better than adequate. I have yet to encounter any of the negative things pointed out in so many on- line reviews (though their website is deeply into the realm of dysfunctional). The planes are clean and new, flight attendants are austere but attentive.

Pros: this leg of our trip was fine. it was average. our experienced was soured and biased by how badly China Eastern handles customer service before and after the flight
Cons: on the way back, they lost one of our bags. And we were completely left in the dark with the airline. Miraculously, the bag showed up 4 days later. But some information would have been good.

Pros: friendly helpful crew
Cons: They routed me Kota Kinabalu-Shanghai-Quingdao-San Francisco, yet could not check my luggage all the way nor issue boarding passes for all legs. Luckily I had 4 hrs transit in Shanghai, had to get 24hrs visa, claim my bag, recheck it to Quingdao and there recheck it to SFO. Quite an ordeal

Terrible check-in
Cons: We got problem when checking in, there was a group of people that didn’t allow us to do check in, and forced us to pay some amount to have another flight. Then we mis the flight. This could never happen to us or anyone but it did to me! We have to book new flight back to Bangkok. If Kayak authority see this message, please guide if we could have any compensation from missing the flight. We totally disappointed with Shanghai airport Thank you

Terrible customer service
Pros: They wouldn't allow me on my flight from Shanghai to Los Angeles one an a half hours before my flight because they said that the gate had closed an hour and a half before the flight was set to depart. And the flight was delayed for an hour total Garbage. They sent me to a hotel in Shanghai and said I was booked the following morning. When I arrived the next day they didn’t have any information about my situation and wanted to charge me for a new business class seat.
Cons: Customer service

Pretty decent
Pros: We got food (unexpected) and the seat was mildly comfortable. I don't feel like I can complain. The staff were nice and the trip relatively short. I liked it.
Cons: There was basically no entertainment. Only a small screen but I could not read the English subtitles and I could not hear the audio either. I brought my tablet, but the flight would have not been very tolerable without it.

Shangai Airlines is a good but not excellent airlines.
Pros: The crew was friendly. The Plane temperature was excellent. The boarding was peaceful and organized. The flight was smooth and The Pilots were helpful and friendly. The seating was comfortable on the plane.
Cons: The Plane was an older plane, and out of date. Limited food selection. Limited entertainment selection. There was not enough drink service. There was no way to carry your own water on board to keep yourself hydrated and the ability to get plenty just wasn't available.

In order to diversify its flight paths, this airline has codeshare agreements with several other airlines, including China Airlines, Hong Kong Airlines, and Korean Air. It is also a subsidiary of China Eastern Airlines, meaning that the two airlines share some planes and employees. Additionally, the company is an affiliate member of SkyTeam, an air alliance that is known for being one of the largest airline groups in the world.
When you are flying with Shanghai Airlines, you are able to pick from two primary travel classes, which are Economy and Business. With an Economy ticket, you will be given drinks, snacks, and a hot meal depending on how long your flight is. If you are flying in Business Class, you will be given complimentary alcoholic drinks as well as a seat that provides additional legroom.
Shanghai Airlines operates a fleet of over 100 planes, all of which are either Airbus, Boeing, or Comac. Known as the most frequently used aircraft by the company, the Boeing 737-800 can fit over 160 passengers and is best suited for medium-range flights. The Airbus A330-300 is meant for long-haul flights, as it can fit up to 300 passengers and has a large Business class section. For particularly short travels, the Boeing 737-700 is generally the plane of choice as it fits 140 travelers.
