I will be flying CZ for four legs internally Beijing-Dalian, Beijing-Guangzhou in First. Is it similar to KE internal? How are the seats? Video? Service? Any help would be appreciated, oh wise ones.

Seems the special announcement thread in the Flying Blue forum. Seats appear to be very similar to the AF FC seats.

Thank you Cockroach! Can anyone comment on what to expect on the internal flights? How is the service? Alcohol served?

Yes, Alcohol is served. The seats are basically the same as domestic first seats in the US, there may be a few more inches of pitch (compared to the average of 38" here) but not much more. The seats aren't as cushy as the business class seats used on KE's 737's. If you're on the A330 for PEK-CAN then you'll have better seats but 737's and A320's have the regular seats.

Service is great during the flight. Lounge access is included while at the airport. I know on routes where they have remote parking stands and the flight is marketed as first class (note some are marketed as first and some as business, there's little rhyme or reason as to which ones) then they will send a VIP van out to the plane to pick you up rather than making you ride the bus with the masses.

Edit:

Checked the flight schedule. Looks like the DLC-PEK flights are all marketed as first class. Interesting some of them are on an A300-600. Never been on one before on any airline so don't know which seats they use on it. The PEK-CAN flights are a mix, some are First Class and Some are business class. The ones with flight numbers in the 300's are Business class, the ones with flight numbers in the 3,000's are First Class... One of them is on a 772, that should be one of the long haul planes with 72" pitch in business class, they aren't bad, that's what they use from LAX.
