决策
中国航空公司的头等舱/商务舱值得买吗？
你正在预订往返中国的长途航班，纠结要不要在中国航司上选升级舱位。
推荐
仅在飞行时长超过 8 小时的长途航线值得购买，因为平躺座椅很重要。5 小时以下的航班不建议——中国国内的头等舱很少能值回票价。
The options
| Option | Best for | Tradeoff |
|---|---|---|
| 付费选高端舱位 | 适合乘坐中国国航、中国东方航空或中国南方航空的远程航班（飞行时长超过 8 小时），以及身高超过 1.83 米（6 英尺）或有倒时差困扰的旅客。 | 价格是经济舱的 2–4 倍；餐饮和服务不及海湾及亚洲其他高端航空公司。 |
| 继续选择经济舱 | 适合飞行时间在 5 小时以内的航班、预算有限的旅客，以及在合作航空公司拥有会员身份的乘客。 | 座位较为紧凑；中国航空公司标准的经济舱服务体验。 |
The verdict
仅在飞行时长超过 8 小时的长途航线值得购买，因为平躺座椅很重要。5 小时以下的航班不建议——中国国内的头等舱很少能值回票价。

Other Transportation decisions
Should I take HSR or fly between Beijing and Shanghai?
Take HSR for Beijing-Shanghai — cheaper, more reliable, and ends in the city center. Fly only for routes over 1,500 km.
Should I book HSR tickets in advance?
Book 13–15 days ahead for trunk routes and any peak-period travel. Day-of is fine only for off-peak secondary routes.
Should I use DiDi or street taxis in China?
Default to DiDi. Use street taxis only when DiDi has no cars or you have no signal.
HSR vs domestic flight — Beijing to Shanghai?
HSR wins for Beijing-Shanghai — cheaper, on-time, and ends downtown. Fly only when rail timing doesn't fit.
