"helpful, professional and efficient"

(New Zealand)

Verified Review | Christchurch to Delhi via Guangzhou with China Southern Airlines. Most courteous, helpful, professional and efficient cabin staff in business class on 26th October 2016 from Christchurch. They were smiling and well mannered and responsive to passengers needs. The only minor issue was they were not assertive and strict with the economy class passengers who quietly came into the business class section at night to sleep on empty seats in business class.

"breakfast noodle was not bad"

(China)

Verified Review | Nanyang to Guangzhou on Embraer 190. When I arrived at the Nanyang airport, there was the counter for business class and I gone through the security check point in a short time. The flight took off ahead of schedule and landed 20 minutes early. The chief purser’s announcement was standard and service was professional. There were two in the business class. I tried the breakfast of noodle, which was not bad. I did not see the video programs, but watched my pad.

"attendants friendly and helpful"

(China)

Verified Review | Guangzhou to Hefei in business class on CZ 3813 on 22rd October 2016. Flight attendants were friendly and helpful. The seat near the emergency exit has more space, I felt comfortable during the flight. We arrived in Hefei earlier than expected. Hefei airport was a little small, all kinds of signs were clear, I could claim my baggage very quickly. Overall this was an enjoyable experience, one suggestion is that if they lower their pricing, they must be very competitive.

"transfer service was great"

(China)

Verified Review | Wuhan to Phnom Penh via Guangzhou on October 25, 2016. I have been taking this airline for many years because of my business. A male attendant provided service to us during the two hour flight. He was very nice and smiled to us while communicating with us, recommending food and duty-free goods on board, filling the landing form for us. Although the aircraft was a little old, service was quite satisfactory. The transfer service in Guangzhou was great. The only point is it would be better if the upgrade price could be more favorable.

"Onboard service excellent"

(Australia)

Verified Review | Ningbo to Perth via Guangzhou. Excellent Overall. Because of early check in and staying one night in Guangzhou due to flight change, I won't be able to get my second boarding pass, and the check in staff couldn't give a proper explanation. But when I was in Guangzhou, the ground staff sorted straightaway. Transit accommodation was a Five star hotel. Onboard service excellent. Hope China Southern will maintain the service level in the future.

"air-hostesses were very kind"

(China)

Verified Review | Guangzhou to Los Angeles. Boeing 777 and seats were very clean. The entertainment system was great with a lot of new movies. The air-hostesses were very kind, I will give 5 stars for their service. As foreigners, we have to fill in I94 forms before going through the customs, and the air-hostesses gave the forms to us twice, and asked if we had any questions about the form. It was really helpful. I believe it was a right choice to fly with Southern China Airlines.

"able to sleep almost 8 hours"

(United States)

Verified Review | Los Angeles to Guangzhou. It was a full flight, even I was trying to upgrade on the check in counter. The lady on the counter was very patient to help me and issued me the boarding pass quickly. They provided efficient, and professional inflight service. The flight attendants speaks English well. The food was good and provided two selections, both white and red wines even in the economy cabin. I was able to sleep almost 8 hours. I would recommend China Southern Airlines as Sky Team Elite Plus member and a frequent business traveler.

"like the lie-flat seat"

(China)

Verified Review | I had a China Southern Airlines flight from Guangzhou to Moscow via Wuhan. The procedures were simple though it was a transit flight. No need to get your checked baggage and you only have to walk pass the immigration. Staff were around to offer their help for your transfer procedure. The business ticket was cheap with two sectors included. Crews were friendly and helpful. Meals were same as normal while beverages were multiple with new choices. I like the lie-flat seat which was necessary in a long haul flight. I will support this airline because of this decent trip.
