Qantas partner China Eastern will once again bring its flagship Boeing 777-300ER aircraft onto fl. China Eastern 777-300ER Business Class Cabins China Eastern 777-300ERs have 52 business class seats in two cabins, a small, intimate cabin of eight seats (two rows) between the second boarding door and first class, and a large cabin of 44 seats (11 rows) just aft of the second boarding door.
