My colleagues are already raving about the new 3rd frequency (if only complaining about it not being daily..).
they often just zero out J by default for SHA flights (often the friday 530pm/7pm flight out of PVG as well) regardless of capacity, making it a de facto ‘DM exclusive’ flight as the only way to get on would be using the seat guarantee benefit.
yes. And more than that number in the back
I totally forgot about the DM seat guarantee benefit! How foolish!! This reminder is a huge lifesaver. I also had no idea they were zeroing it out. We often book online and just never thought more of it. Thank you!!
A small thing for PVG security: if you have APEC you can use the VIP security line. It makes PVG rather pleasant, except for the sometimes long gate walks and commute out there in the first place.
