Boarding through the second door from the front, a flight attendant (FA) offered a warm greeting and directed me to my seat, 8A. I presented my China Eastern (not Delta) boarding pass and my passport and went right on board to the business section. There was no one in the Priority boarding lane. It was a short walk to the boarding gate on the main concourse at T1. I remained in the Air France lounge in T1 until after the boarding announcement. MU 588 from JFK to PVG, a China Eastern 777-300ER, was scheduled to depart at 16:25. Those flights provided a much different experience. Update: In 2018 I flew four flights on China Eastern 777-300s between PVG and LAX. I’d flown economy and a short business class flight on a China Eastern 737-800 and was looking forward to a long-haul business class experience on this airline.

Now, thanks to an unannounced, no-notice, mega devaluation, it requires 160,000 SkyMiles for a business class trip to Asia on Delta and a whopping 170,000 SkyMiles on China Eastern. I booked this trip in business class for 140,000 SkyMiles. Delta puts China Eastern in the top group of airline partners for earning Delta miles, bonuses and qualification dollars. As Delta continues to shrink its service out of Tokyo, it has strengthened its relationship to China Eastern and its hub at PVG. China Eastern Airlines is one of the newer additions to the SkyTeam airline alliance.
