Seat selection on China Eastern Yunnan Airlines
At check-in: standard seats are chosen free of charge; paid ones are row 1 of economy, rows by the emergency exits, and front rows (marked $). The Basic Economy fare cannot choose a seat in advance or check in online (only at the desk on the day of departure). Choosing a seat in advance: after the ticket is issued, you can reserve a standard seat free of charge online or in the app before check-in opens, and the system then checks you in automatically 48 hours before. Seats in "Preferred Seat" zones are paid. For Basic Economy it is not possible in advance. Without a paid seat: paid zones on international flights: narrow-body aircraft, economy rows 1–5 and rows by the exits; wide-body aircraft, rows 1–7 and rows by the exits. 6 hours before departure they become free, except row 1 and the rows by the emergency exits. After check-in: it can be done online: a free seat is changed directly; a paid one can only be cancelled and chosen again. After check-in, no more than 3 cancellations/changes of seat online; after that, at the desk or through the call centre.
Boarding pass
The boarding pass is issued as a PDF/HTML for printing. At domestic airports in China an electronic or printed one is often enough; at international airports (SVO, LED, Europe and others) the printout/electronic boarding pass must be exchanged at the China Eastern desk on the day of departure. Online check-in is not available for: the Basic Economy fare; infants; passengers with special services or special meals; emergency exit seats; unaccompanied children; a name mixing Chinese characters and Latin letters; departures from Honolulu (HNL). It works only on flights actually operated by MU or FM.
Connecting flights
Boarding passes are issued strictly in segment order: if check-in is already open for the first segment, the others can be done only after it. Online check-in does not cover the domestic segments of some international journeys.
Changes after check-in
Yes, through official channels (website, app, WeChat mini-programs); no later than 60 minutes before departure, and no more than 3 cancellations per passenger per flight. "Cancel seat" after the boarding pass is issued means cancelling check-in.
