i have NOT traveled through China but have first hand experience of talking to China Eastern staffs in the USA as well as China. Also I have extensive information gained through research about China Eastern as I was thinking about traveling through that airlines as the price was super cheap!
YES, you do need a transit visa IF you want to go outside the airport and sleep in a hotel or else you do not need visa as long as your transit stay in China is less than 24 hours. For example, if your transit is 15 hours in Beijing and 15 hours in Kunming, you will need a transit visa as your TOTAL transit time is 30 hours; which is more than 24.
you will have to collect your luggage at every transit airport and check them in everytime.
i do not think that they have hindu meal choice for inflight. reviewers have said that oriental dishes are served.
bring ipod and your own entertainment as many flights do not have inflight entertainment and no western movies and programs. some flights only have big screens and no personal screens at the seat.
