Originally scheduled to fly on China Eastern’s latest A350, passengers on MU715 from Shanghai to Brisbane were met with a switch to the older A330-300. The lack of privacy on this aircraft stood out, especially for those expecting a more modern cabin experience.
In-Flight Meal Review: Muslim Meal
A Muslim meal was requested and served on the flight. While the vegetables in the main course were noticeably overcooked, the rest of the meal held up well. The creamy mushroom chicken breast, in particular, was quite flavourful.
Service and Cabin Crew
The cabin crew left a positive impression with their helpful and attentive service. Their support comforted the flight, even with the unexpected aircraft change.
Dessert Variety Stands Out
A highlight of the in-flight dining was the wide range of dessert options offered. This generous selection helped elevate the overall food experience.
Key Highlights from the Review:
- Aircraft switched from A350 to older A330-300
- No privacy in the cabin
- Muslim meal served
- Creamy mushroom chicken was tasty and tender
- Overcooked vegetables in main course
- Wide range of dessert options
Final Thoughts
In conclusion, the change of aircraft was a downside, but the good food and kind crew made the flight better. It wasn’t perfect, but there were still a few nice moments during the journey.
