But then this is not a MU related matter but affects all domestic airlines in China.

I use MU frequently on the GMP - SHA (Seoul - Shanghai) route and and find them quite acceptable on those 1,5 hrs hops. Even signed up for Eastern Miles as staff now seem very reluctant to credit to CX/KA MPC.

Not so keen on PVG connections and would rather have a rest/shower break there than connect directly with all the hassle that it entails. Isn`t the whole passing immigration - luggage out - customs check - check-in again - passing security show necessary also for MU transfers?
