Verified Review | I purchased a ticket in August 2016 for a flight from Toronto to Bangkok via Guangzhou. The aircraft flown on long legs of this trip were new clean 777. Seat space in economy for my 5'11" size was fine and I did not feel cramped. Amenities included a blanket, pillow and earphones although I travel with QC20 to maintain quiet. The food quality on the outbound flight was not very good at all to my taste. On the return flight out of Guangzhou the meals were very good. Juices, beer and wine were served along with dinner. I had learned from the outbound flight that wine is provided in a very small cup, perhaps 2oz. On the return flight I pointed to a juice cup about 7oz. on the trolley and the FA just filled it up with nice red wine and gave me a refill after dinner. Inflight entertainment offered was adequate offering the usual movies, games, music, maps but no outside camera for take off and landing. In addition you cannot use any electronic devices while in flight. Snacks and water were offered during the flight. While some of the FA were not fluent in English, they seemed to know enough basics that you could get by. A smile and some patience goes a long way. The flights departed close to the scheduled times with the exception of one leg out of BKK which was delayed for an hour. No explanation was given. This put me in a tight situation for my connection in Guangzhou and I explained this to the FA. Shortly before landing she moved me to the front of Premium Economy so I could depart the aircraft quickly. Very nice. I did make my connecting flight. In both the outbound and inbound flights I did not lose my luggage. Check in was smooth and moved along even with long line ups. Guangzhou airport is very large, however I had no problem navigating to my departure gate. I flew the same route last year in economy, transferring in HKG with an upscale airline the ticket was $500 more. China Southern, to my mind, is offering a similar flight experience minus the Hagen Daz ice cream at a great savings and I would not hesitate to use them again.
