Many Asia-based airlines are investing milllions into the U.S. market to attract international travelers, including both business travelers and families. China Eastern is no different. Last week, I attended the carrier’s launch of its new Boeing 777 aircraft at Los Angeles International Airport. With this new aircraft, China Eastern will be able to grow its branding from outside the ethnic community and really attract premium passengers. In First Class, China Eastern offers

• Six suite-like spaces measuring 43 inches wide and 82 inches long, optimized for spaciousness and privacy
• State-of-the-art entertainment system with 24-inch digital display
• Plush leather flat-bed seats measuring 26.5 inches wide
• Combinable seats that convert to a double bed
• Ample storage for personal items, plus convenient floor-level luggage storage instead of ordinary overhead storage
• Electric curtains to adjust your view of the sky
• Custom Salvatore Ferragamo amenity kit
• Deluxe sheets, comforters and pillows for restful sleep

Business Class:

• 1-2-1 layout providing every passenger with direct​ aisle access
• Fully reclinable 180-degree flat-bed leather seats
• Ample storage compartments for personal items
• Two special wheelchair accessible extra-large lavatories

My personal favorite amenity is the custom tea service provided by their elegant onboard staff. I look forward to flying them on my next trip to Shanghai! — Carly Allen, vice president
