China Eastern to Shanghai

We arrived at the airport 85 minutes prior to departure.

Priority security.

Just inside security is the China Eastern First and Business Class Lounge.

Not the most spacious or attractive lounge but adequate for a short stay.

Nice plane watching.

Although a prety anemic selection of snacks.

At T-40, we headed off to our gate.

My vote for the ugliest livery I've seen in a long time.

Both 1L and 2L in operation today, with 1L only for First Class.

And a nice 2-2-2 Business Class cabin.

Angled lie flat on a 600 mile domestic flight.  Someone is happy. :)

Pre-departure hot towel...

... and pre-departure water or juice, in a real glass.

Slippers at every seat.

Nice seat back IFE system with a reasonable selection of movies from around the world. 

After take-off, snack service with tablecloth.

And another hot towel.

Curtains drawn to block galley lights and activity.  Wow, what a concept.

Nothing fancy but better than Dougie's snack basket.

After an early arrival and a short walk thru a pleasant terminal, we met our guide and driver for the next three days.
