Well, the eticket system works, sort of. We arrived at PEK at 525 AM a fe minutes ago after a 25 minute cab ride from the St. Regis. On arrival at the China Eastern Check in couter, there were two eticket machines, with a big "Wellcome, please insert you passport" on them in English. Unfortunately, both werre broken and we were directed to the regualry check in lines. To my surprise, the guy handling it found the reservation and quickly printed boarding passses. I will say that we passed the Air China check in counters where there were 3 working eticket machines and a live personn next to each.

We have made it as far as the Priority Pass Air China lounge, which is not bad. I am about to try the pumpkin congeee
