Business Class
Before booking, always check the specific aircraft type for your route via ExpertFlyer or the Air China website's fleet notes — the difference between the A350 product and an older 777 or 747-8 configuration is substantial enough to change your entire experience. Long-haul flights to Europe and North America are more likely to feature newer aircraft than some regional or secondary routes. If connecting through Beijing, budget extra time, as PEK Terminal 3 transfers can be slow.

Business Class
Always check the specific aircraft type before booking — the A350-900 business class is a different world from the older 777-300ER or A330 product, and China Eastern doesn't always make this obvious at the point of sale. For the best experience, prioritize routes out of Shanghai Pudong (PVG) to North America or Australia, where the A350 is more consistently deployed.

Prestige Class
Always check the specific aircraft before booking — the difference between the door-equipped Prestige Suite and the older angled seats is substantial, and Korean Air's booking engine or ExpertFlyer can confirm equipment type. The Seoul–New York (JFK), Los Angeles, and select European routes are the most likely to feature the newer 787-9 or retrofitted 777-300ER hardware. Aisle seats in the older herringbone cabins can require climbing over a partition, so window seats are generally the better pick on those aircraft.
