China Eastern Airlines seat selection

Hi,

I asked this question numerous months ago, and I can't find the thread …

Is it possible to choose a seat in advance when booking a flight on MU (intl and domestic flights)

Thanks

It definitely is possible to select seats in advance on MU while booking on their website, or even after before check-in. You can select your seats here: Seat Reservation - China Eastern Airlines.

As far as I know, it should, since MU's international sites are all on a common platform. (The website for Mainland China is different and reserving a seat requires a phone number; although it accepts international numbers, it very rarely works.)

But just to be safe, here's the link for MU's France website: Réservation des sičges - China Eastern Airlines.

If you use the mainland China site you can do it but you'll need to input your phone number and receive their texts 3 separate times....I don't understand who designs these user interfaces in China and why they love to collect your phone number so much!

Is the seat selection complementary on MU?
