Searching Google Flights for Business Class flights from Mainland Europe (as my home is in rip-off Britain) to South East Asia (needing to go to Thailand) for October and for December - flexible with positioning flights at both ends. Everything is crazy expensive with SkyTeam members pricing much higher than Star Alliance. And the Chinese airlines (MU, MF and CZ) have low Economy fare but ridiculous Business fares, so they are not bringing the fares back down.

However, there is one exception - Shanghai Airlines from Budapest. They are an affiliate member and mentioned in the China Eastern Airlines webpage on Flying Blue. So just checking if any fellow FlyerTalker has flown with them and had issues getting Flying Blue XP and Miles.

And are they easy to book with? I've only search with Google Flights.
