China Eastern Airlines

Answer: No, they are 2 separate airlines, even from 2 different jurisdiction. China airlines is the flag carrier of Republic of China (ROC) aka Taiwan. China Eastern is an airline incorporated in the People's Republic of China (PRC) generally referred to as country of China, and this airline is headquartered in Shanghai. The flag carrier of China (PRC) is Air China which is state owned.

Here is my travel itinerary: from Barcelona, I will arrive into Beauvais Airport at 9am. I have a flight that leaves CDG going to Guangzhou, China at 12:30pm on China Eastern Airlines. Do I have enough time to make it? I think 3 hours is cutting it short. Thank you.

Answer: Beauvais Airport is a long way from Paris. There is a bus that takes you to Porte Maillot from where you can connect to the RER B back to CDG but plan on about 3 hours travel time. The VEA bus offers direct service from Beauvais to CDG, there is a 10 am departure but with over an hour en route, the earliest you will arrive at CDG will be after 11 giving you littler more than 1 hour before you departure there, not nearly sufficient time for an international departure from CDG. The only way I should even consider trying to make a connection this close would be via taxi. Assuming you could have one meet you at Beauvais, you might be able to reach CDG around just after 10 but I strongly recommend you be at CDG 3 hours in advance of any international CDG departure. The taxi will cost 100€+. If there is an alternative to using Beauvais, you may want to take it.

So... We will be traveling overseas, and we will be taking China Eastern Airlines. My question is, would they allow you to bring several cans of Olive Oil. It does not go with the person. It is in a separate package that travels separably until it reaches the destination.It is under the airline's list of "Dangerous Goods," but it does not list any details on if you can bring it or not.... Do normal airlines allow this? Again it is not a carry-on, but in a separate package. The oil will be 6 cans (metal) of 100 percent olive oil. Thanks so much :D Please give me an answer, and not tell me to call them -_- Is that a yes or a no? XD I would like to know.. I know olive oil is a flammable liquid, and the airlines say I cant bring flammable liquids.... Im stuck... I bough 50 bucks in oil -_-

Answer: Helen, If you do not want to call them, then you are only going to receive answers that, for the most part, are simply a guess. For departures from the US, olive oil is not restricted. The TSA website says that oils and vinegars are OK to bring in checked luggage. Where are you getting the information that says olive oil is a dangerous item? The other problem with not wanting to call them is the quantity. One can might be perfectly fine, even 2, (personally, I think you would have no problem with 1 can), but 6 cans might be more than the airline will permit. We don't know, and it is unlikely that you will get an answer from someone else who just happens to have tried to do the same thing. So - if you really want an answer that is likely to be correct - you need to contact the airline. That's the way it is.

I have a ticket from Vancouver Canada to Shanghai and an incident is preventing me from going. The ticket is for 2 days later so I'm worried. I know it's different for every airline but if you know the answer to this, please do tell me. I do not trust the Vancouver China Eastern ticketing office or the travel agency I booked with as they have tried to scam me out of money. Thanks in advance.

Answer: Airline cancellation and rescheduling fees vary based upon the type of ticket purchased. Generally speaking, the more discounted your fare was, the higher the fee. Some coach tickets are not refundable at all. You can contact China Eastern direct in America at 1-800-200-5118.

I bought a ticket on 1st of May on CHINA EASTERN AIRLINE but I didn't get any confirmation email, I called and sent an email on 6th of May but they didn't answer. I called to my credit card company and they said I request but they didn't take my money yet so I thought it's not confirmed. Everyday the flight ticket price went up so I bought another ticket. I got a reply from them on 11th of May and they said my flight ticket is CONFIRMED.... Just yesterday I cancled the ticket and I had to pay 100 euros for refund fee. I asked why they didn't send an email and I don't want to pay refund fee, but they just gave me another number to call and when i called them, they also gave another number..... It was Electronic ticket and they didn't send anything for confirmation. How can I check my flight ticket? Just I had to believe my flight ticket is confirmed and worrying everyday? I believe it's their mistake, I already spend lots of time and money to call to UK and refund fee. Can you tell me what can I do? How can I assert my rights? Thank you so much..

Answer: If you received a E ticket that was your confirmation and you simply print it out. If you read the terms and conditions you will find "somewhere" that they have done everything by their normal operating procedure, the $100 cancellation fee is common practise I can assure you. Yo really do need to do your homework before you buy air tickets or things like that online.Also the consumer laws regulating this are dependant on the country in which the purchase was made.

Hello, I have problem with my flight ticket!!!! I bought one way ticket on 29th of April at China Eastern airline, when i buy i thought they will send me confirm message and I waited a week but they didnt. So i started to wonder, my flight ticket is confirmed or not. So I sent an email and called to them on 6th of May. But they just hung up my phone call and i tried again but they didnt answer. I waited the email reply but they didnt send me back any email. The ticket price was going up everyday and i was worried so I bought a new ticket at other airline. But today (11th of May) I got a message from them my flight ticket is confirmed. I waited confirm message for a week and waited their reply for 5 days!!!!!!!! I just sent a message about requesting whole refund . Now, I have 2 tickets to go back home... What can i do?? It was around 400 euros.... Can you tell me I can get whole refund or not?

Answer: Firstly you should check if the payment for the ticket has been posted to your credit/debit card account. If not, it means your booking has not gone through so you actually don't have a ticket. If yes, then you have to ask to speak to someone with authority, and at the same time send them an email attaching a copy of the payment. When we make a booking, we need to make sure we've completed all the procedures. If we don't get a confirmation email within 10-15 minutes, we should contact the airline/website right away. Unless you bought a refundable ticket, there will be no refund if your ticket is issued already.

Answer: Not true, their A330-300's have personal in-flight entertainment in every seat. Their A330-200's and A340's have personal IFE in business class, but only monitors along the aisles in economy class. There is in-flight entertainment on all planes, but not much on some: http://www.seatguru.com/airlines/China_Eastern/China_Eastern_Airbus_A330-300.php

I have two large international-size baggages...I need to transfer twice in Denver and Vancouver. 1. I have 1 hour and 40min at each stop, can I make it('cuz I have to ; )? When should I get to the airport to check my baggages? 2. where and how many times should I pick up my baggages? will they arrive Shanghai automatically without I move them? 3. how many times should I go through security? how long will it take? I booked the flight online: UNITED Operated By: GREAT LAKES AVIATION arrive Denver UNITED Operated By: /UNITED EXPRESS/SKYWEST AIRLINES arrive Vancouver, Canada China Eastern Airlines arrive Shanghai, China

Answer: 1. Give yourself a minimum of two hours at your departing airport. I usually try for three or even four. I'd much rather be sitting and waiting in the departure area rather than panicking in the security line, etc. 2. You will not need to pick up your luggage in Denver. It will go through to Vancouver. 3. You may have to pick up your luggage in Vancouver. It all depends upon whether or not you are "checked through" to China. It also depends upon whether or not you have to go through customs in Vancouver. Ask when you check in the first time from your departing airport. 4. Even if you have to claim your baggage in Vancouver, you shouldn't have to go through security again. There should be an area for international transfers without your having to exit the secure area. Just follow the signs and you should be fine. Good luck and enjoy your trip.

I am taking a domestic flight between Shanghai and Hong Kong with China Eastern Airlines. i am taking this flight after taking an International flight from Vancouver to SHanghai also using CEA. Has anybody taken domestic flights with them and are they good/safe?

Answer: China Eastern Airline is one of Big airline company in China, they are fine. Their HQ is in Shanghai, has a lot of domestic flights and international flights. Check their website http://www.flychinaeastern.com/

I've heard that flying internationally, Chinese airlines (Air China, China Eastern, China Southern, etc) are very safe, but when flying domestically, their flights aren't as safe compared to major countries airlines. Why is this and in what ways are they less safe? How safe are China Eastern Airline's domestic flights?

Answer: Is your query supported by any statistics? Civil Aviation Administration of China enjoys an accident rate of 0.21 by November, 2009, which is lower than the international average 0.29. In no way Chinese domestic flights less safe than American domestic flights! We don't attract terrorists!
