I wanted to try a direct flight to China out of Hawaii, but I will not want to take it again with China Eastern Airlines. Why?
First of all, the food was terrible, worse than what I got on domestic flights by the same airliner inside China. (I wondered why so. Maybe the airliner wanted to give "rich Chinese" some pain, since most passengers on these flights are tourists?)
Then, it's the passengers, who are loud, and sometimes rude. I planned to sleep on my return flight of nine hours, which would allow me to bounce back after arrival at 9am. No way, the ladies near by were too excited and LOUD. I understand their excitement, but I wish they could keep their voice down. So, what could I do? I watched "silent movies" instead. (Yeah, I am picky about the sound effect, and have refused to watch any new movies on the plane. Since I couldn't sleep, I watched some old movie with Chinese subtitle and no sound. I also watched two documentaries about wine-making, which was educational. I noticed some bad translation, but I shouldn't be too picky since it's free.)
