China Eastern review by Keith 2014-09-29

Shanghai to Mudanjiang. Airbus A320. Pushed out from bay on time then we lined up with many aircraft taxing for take off. Departed 40 minutes late due to delays and arrived at our final destination 15 minutes late. Stopped at Qingdao for 40 minutes where everybody has to leave aircraft and take all their cabin luggage. Upon boarding again if you are not at the front of the line you will find all the overhead lockers all full. The Chinese passengers bring on everything except the kitchen sink. No such thing as on carry on of 7 kilos. Crew were very good and on the first leg of the flight were served a snack box and drink. Second leg of the flight we were served a hot meal , snack box and drink. This is the 5th time I have done this flight in last 2 years and I have never had any problems.
