Photo from the terminal:

The distance from the check in area to the gate was long, I think 1.5KM roughly.
Bus took us to the aircraft.
Aircraft Infomartion:
Airbus A320-214
B-6787
In service since June 2011.

I sat in seat 26F. There was only one row after my seat. (Row 27 is the last in this aircraft)
The flight was noisy due to baby that sat behind me.

Shortly after take off:

Some cabin photos:

As you can see, the aircraft is new (Only 2 years old when I traveled), but there's no PTV or even Overhead TV! Boring!
45 Minutes after the take off, the crew served meal:

Included: Hot drinks, soft drinks, very hard cookies that can break your tooths and untasty sandwich.
It's very nice for 2 hours, but It's not tasty.

Conclusion

This was 2 hours inland flight in China. The flight took off in time.
The aircraft was new, but the flight was boring because there's no PTV or even Overhead TVs.
The cabin was clean, the crew is OK but not more than OK, The food is bad for my taste.
The flight was bumpy, I don't know why, because the weather was good. I flew many times in my life (more than 30 flight legs) and It was one of my bad flight experience.
I think that I shouldn't recommend to travel with this airline.

I have never had such a clear weather in PVG; it was always so misty !

Thanks for sharing !

Yes, the weather was nice. But very humid and hot, even the time was only 8AM!

And I know what is hot weather! I live in Israel and during the summer, the temperatures reaching to 45-50 Celsius degrees, but without humid.

Guilin... :O

Dor 2016-03-26 12:53:53

Yes. The most amazing city that I saw during the tour in China.

Thanks for sharing this FR!

I was shocked to see the UA B744 in old livery in your spotting, but then realized this report was from 2013. As Marathon said, I have never seen such clear blue skies at PVG before, really made your spotting nice.

Nice to get a new cabin, but disappointing catering for a 2-hour domestic flight in China. The lack of IFE doesn't bother me since you would only get to watch car commercials and cartoons during the flight ;)

LOL... I'm pretty sure I could find a ticket for the Titanic inside an old sock under my bed if I tidy up my room now.

I'm arranging my room, so I found the flight tickets, and finally I can write flight reports, because I have the seat number and the flight number. :)

This is the main reason for the old reports.
