My wife used them to fly between Shanghai and Heathrow, and had no
complaints. Anyway, my suggestions:
bring a couple of good books, in case the IFE does not work or is only
in Chinese;
eat something at the airport and/or bring a filling snack, in case the
in-flight catering is not to your taste;
use the toilets before boarding and/or early in the flight;
find some exercises that you can do while seated and/or make an effort
to walk up and down the aeroplane every couple of hours, so that
relatively cramped seating has less effect on you than it would if you
stayed still the whole time.
You might like to explore what they would charge to upgrade you for
part of your journey.
