You get a food service (but breakfast is usually rice gruel).
Hardware is newer.
Flight attendents are polite, not surly (Southwest and JetBlue excepted).
The CAAC attendents do a syncronized bow, which is pretty cool.
Most domestic flights are basically coach only, or have a few business class seats that I don't think FT people would think would rate as business class.
