How much baggage am I allowed on the flight?
I am looking to book a flight for me and my husband from Beijing to Shanghai and I am worried about the baggage allowance. I know different airlines will allow different allowances but when looking at China Eastern Airlines it doesn't seem to mention domestic flights from one part of the country to the other, it just mentions travelling to the US or Dubai etc. Do you know what the restrictions are with domestic in country flights?
