Smile China Eastern Business Class Info

After finding loads of mixed information online, going through China Eastern's unmatching seat maps for airplane codes, and getting mixed answers from their representatives, I was hopping that someone on here could answer my question:
Does anyone know the difference between China Eastern's business class coding of 33E, 33H, and 33L? Which ones are 1-2-1 and 2-2-2? (This is for flights out of Vancouver)

Thanks! I hope someone understands this airline!

Could be an aircraft swap. If you give me the flight # and date, I can check on KVS for you.

The 33L is flying Thursday the 29th this month with flight number MU598. The 33H and 33E are both flying on Saturday the first July. The 33H is under flight number MU582 and the 33E is under flight number MU598 (taking over from the 33L).

A search would reveal the answer as well

33H, 1-2-1, like AF
33E, 2-2-2 full flat like LO
33L, 1-2-1, like new SK

It seems aircraft swaps are fairly common. I booked a round trip that was showing both flights as 33H a few days before departure. Both ended up being 2-2-2

At least Not to Europe and I honestly don't really care about North America.

Was recently on the 33L from YVR - bused from terminal for remote boarding in lengthy and complete CF. Seat (Thompson XL Vantage?) apart from shoulder seatbelt required for takeoff and landing in addition to lap was very very comfortable. Much better than 33H IME as a taller individual. Odd number seats were closer to window - gap to enter / exit would not suit larger persons.

I feel like at this design they should have just copied the SQ design.

Does anybody know how to recognize which seats I am going to have on my flight? This is what MU website is showing. The pair seats in the middle confuse me as seat guru shows only 7 rows because of galley and 8 window rows. So would this be XL Vantage or Herringbone seats? Any info appreciated. Flying PVG-DEL.

This is what the 777 would look like on the MU website. 1-2-1 heriingbone (fairly modern but do not know the exact seats).

In that case, rows 6 and 7 are in front of the galley (the galley does not show on the diagram). A modest divider between them and F

There would be more rows further back and you have to click in the down arrow just above "save" to see them.

Do you know what equipment?

EDIT: It looks like MU starts all their longhaul C seats at row 6. So I would scroll down to the botom to find the last row and use that. Ignore the gallery as it does not show.

It is A330-300 and I can't go down anymore. The seat map shown above is definitely everything we gonna have on this flight Yeah, I got that the seat starts at 6 and row 15 is the last one.

I flew the A333 from PVG to PEK this morning - the flight number is the same as the return flight from DEL - PVG (MU564).

Vantage XL - staggered seats:

FYI, in case you want to spare yourself of PVG, they also use some nice planes between SHA and PEK.
