Read this before you decide to fly China Eastern Airlines.
For me, Australia to Europe always meant Emirates or Qatar, but I decided to fly @chinaeasternair
Why?
Two reasons.
- Significant difference in prices.
- Not much difference between the total time including transit taken by Qatar/ Emirates and CE (Only 4 hours)
But I was skeptical. Why?
Because I read multiple negative reviews online for CE about poor customer service, delays, bad quality food, etc.
However...what I found was totally opposite.
- Aircraft was clean, tidy, and very well-maintained.
- The staff was courteous, polite, and super helpful at all times.
- For the first time, my vegetarian wife loved the flight food. And there was more than enough.
- No delays. Always on time.
The best part - They dropped us in Paris at 5:30 am allowing us to make the best use our first day in Paris.
But...what should you know before deciding?
- Language barrier - it was difficult at times to communicate with the staff.
- If you love fancy and happening airports, you will be disappointed.
- It was difficult to access the airport Lounge. The website to book the lounge is https://t.co/imD5aLrHo5. Good luck with that, and let me know if you are able to figure it out.
Verdict - Not a bad experience at all, especially considering a humongous price difference.

Share it with someone you know is planning to travel to Italy!
Ready to sip espresso under Tuscan skies or toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain? Hold that flight booking! Before diving into pasta, piazzas, and picturesque gondola rides, there are 10 golden tips every traveler must know to make their Italian escape bellissimo (and drama-free).
First off, check your passport. Italy (hello, Schengen rules) wants at least 6 months’ validity. Next up, store emergency numbers (112 for police!), and travel smart with the seasons: spring’s dreamy, summer’s a sweaty selfie fest, autumn is vino heaven, and winter? Perfect for snow-lovers and museum-hoppers.
Don’t let holidays like Ferragosto surprise you; Italy hits pause. But hey, that’s when the real magic happens at local festivals like Venice Carnival or Siena’s horse race. Craving real pizza? Skip tourist traps and ask locals (hint: Gino Sorbillo in Naples is pizza royalty 📷).
Trains? A+! But validate that ticket or pay up. Need data? Grab a local SIM or eSIM, and your wallet will thank you. And explore beyond Rome - places like Alberobello or Trentino are fairy tales in disguise.
