The flight is about 2.5 hours, so I think a few hundred extra bucks for FC would be worth it if service is like that of US carriers. Anyone have any experience? I'm traveling on Air China, I believe.

Thanks for any help.
Limited experience with a couple of Bj to Shanghai, Shanghai to Guangzhou flights. I fly business class (and often there is no first but a combination first/business) and on domestic chinese airlines, that means you get to sit in the front, get a slightly larger seat and slightly better service. It's better than sitting in the back but don't expect the type of service on most inter-asian business or first class seating/service.
