China Eastern First class available on FB?

While looking for a flight to Shanghai, I stumbled upon a first class ticket on MU and was surprised! This seems new as I have never seen any other first class ticket other than LP ones on flying blue! Don’t know if it’s really first class or just business class and this is a bug !

MU does indeed offer a First Class, but it is a far cry from La Premičre. Yes, it is an enclosed suite (6 of them on the 77W), but the soft product isn't going to match that of AF/LH/BA.

Yes this is a new feature for FB, we are progressively introducing partner F redemption. Can’t promise all partners will offer it, but our goal is to introduce more partner F award opportunities in the future.

Will F redemption on partners also be limited to Platinum (and one seat per account)?

THIS! Also, which partners will be available? (Or is it too early to say)

No restrictions (on our end) on partner F awards. Each airline sets their own reward policy/inventory.
