Agree. And would have been nice to have been offered some! As I noted earlier Mrs Dr Ralph and I were definitely treated differently as the only 2 westerns on the flight. I wasn't offered the cognac. I had to fight for it.The cognac isn't too shabby

In summation, this wasn't the worst J flight that I've ever had, but it was far from the best either. I think you'd be very disappointed if you'd paid full price for this flight.
As a first flight with China Eastern it was disappointing. I would definitely look at other carriers before looking for flights with China Eastern. But I would fly with them again if I had to.
In fact I have already booked another award flight with China Eastern for 2020 - SYD to ORD. But that was because I couldn't get a flight with any other carrier. As soon as I saw a return flight to Australia with JAL I jumped on that!
