Also, IMHO, long haul economy class on China Eastern is just awful. MR on MU is definitely a hard earn mileage.
I'd disagree on this. I flew JFK-PVG-NRT on MU last Nov for pleasure to Japan. The new 777 was comfy in coach. Plenty of recline. I easily slept when I wanted to. Food was decent. And at the back there are a few rows of just 2 seats. Perfect for a party of 6.
Sure the 747 or 777 on DL metal with C+ is better but I wouldn't say it was 'awful'.
