Hey y'all, just want to get with you and share my experience. China Eastern was GREAT! So very much better than expected. I'd say the only weak part was extremely slow baggage delivery at the claim, both directions, but other than that very solid. Excellent space for economy, with better than average recline.

That's my photo album for my trip.
I'd say if you're jonesing for a mileage run/affordable getaway definitely look at China Eastern!
PS - Their 777 service JFK-SHA SHA-JFK seemed like a brand new aircraft. Spotless interior

We were directed to the Alitalia lounge. Perhaps the AF lounge was in another terminal? I'm not sure...

Data point:
My miles didn't post at all.
Had to tweet to DL with the ticket number (because the website to request missing miles was not working for my ticket number, starting with 716, MU)
After two days, I got all the expected miles for T and B fares (yes! MQM bonus!!)

It looks like Delta has amended its partner earning chart for China Eastern
http://www.delta.com/content/www/en_...a-eastern.html
T class only earns 30% RDMs after Nov 1, 2016

I guess the technique to pick the next fare is still valid though the analysis is now more complex (for RDM, I think picking non-Q fares is still good for MQM)

JFK-PVG-NRT - ~9K MQMs. Base RDMs 3300. Bonus RDMs(PM) - 2700. This is going to net about 12,000 RDMs on a 620 dollar round trip ticket. If you flew Delta on this exact route you would get less than half of that likely.
