Prices are one-way per traveler: the program's points or miles plus taxes and carrier fees in USD, as AwardTool observed them in the observation window. Award space changes constantly. A seat we saw may be gone, and space we haven't seen may exist. Always confirm with a live search before transferring points; most transfers can't be reversed.
Routes where China Eastern was the only airline in the results
Routes where every first-class award a program showed was on China Eastern flights and its lowest award didn't mix cabins, so the price is on China Eastern. Most open dates first.

Questions about China Eastern first-class awards
Which international routes had the most first-class award dates with China Eastern?
Shenzhen (SZX) to Los Angeles (LAX) (312 dates, SkyMiles); Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA) to Tokyo Haneda (HND) (286 dates, Qantas); Shanghai Pudong (PVG) to Tokyo Haneda (HND) (280 dates, Qantas); Shanghai Pudong (PVG) to Tokyo Narita (NRT) (279 dates, Qantas); Wuhan (WUH) to San Francisco (SFO) (279 dates, SkyMiles). Counts are departure dates with an open first-class award for one program whose results included China Eastern, in the last 30 days; not every date was on China Eastern.
What's the lowest international first-class award on China Eastern alone that AwardTool has seen?
31,500 miles + $68.30 on Shanghai Pudong (PVG) to Tokyo Haneda (HND) with Air France/KLM Flying Blue, which showed first-class award space on that route on 79 departure dates in the last 30 days, every award on China Eastern flights. Other programs' lowest: 45,700 points + $63.91 on Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA) to Tokyo Haneda (HND) (Qantas). Prices from a program with first-class space on only one date are left out of this answer, and so are routes within one country, which the tables above list.
Which programs showed China Eastern on first-class awards?
Etihad Guest (18 routes), Delta SkyMiles (12 routes), Qantas Frequent Flyer (11 routes), Air France/KLM Flying Blue (5 routes) and GOL Smiles (one route), in the last 30 days. A program counts when its first-class results for a route included a China Eastern flight.
When did China Eastern appear on the most first-class awards?
Departures in Oct 2026: 30 routes had open first-class dates in results that included China Eastern. The lowest month price on China Eastern alone on an international route was 31,500 miles in Nov 2026 and 6 other months (PVG–HND, Flying Blue). A record of what AwardTool observed, not a forecast.
Which credit card points can book China Eastern first-class awards?
Amex points transfer to SkyMiles, Qantas and Flying Blue; Bilt points transfer to Etihad Guest and Flying Blue; Capital One miles transfer to Etihad Guest, Qantas and Flying Blue; Chase points transfer to Flying Blue; Citi points transfer to Etihad Guest, Qantas and Flying Blue; Wells Fargo points transfer to Flying Blue. Those are the programs that showed China Eastern in first class; ratios and times are in the table above. Check current bonuses and search live before you transfer, since most transfers can't be reversed.
