First class Beijing-Chengdu-Shanghai. Check in at Terminal 3 was efficient and we were at the lounge in no time. Sichuan Airlines uses the Air China lounge which is ok but not spectacular. Boarding was on time but then we were held up for 2hours in the plane as so many flights were departing at the same time. The crew was attentive and friendly and kept coming around with drinks blankets etc. The crew wear very nice traditional Chinese uniforms and look very classy in comparison to other Chinese carriers. Once we departed they served dinner which was ok for a domestic flight. Again the crew was very attentive and delivered great service. Seats on the A320 have a rather narrow seat pitch for F class and are not made for flights longer than 3hours.We arrived 2h late and had to wait ages for our luggage. The flight to Shanghai was on the latest A330 which had lie flat seats. The plane was brand new and the seats great. I could get almost 1h30min sleep on this 2h30min flight. Crew again very friendly and attentive. Food was disgusting however. Was really disapointed. Sichuan Airlines is the airline to choose if you travel to this region of China.
