"paid extra attention to me"

(China)

Trip Verified | Changsha to Guangzhou.I took a bus to a distant parking position and saw a staircase. But I sprained my wrist a couple of days earlier so I was unable to carry my suitcase up. At that time, a young guy, China Southern staff member, walked over to me and helped me put the suitcase to the overhead bin. He might have told the flight attendant about my hand injury because she paid extra attention to me during the flight.

"Her service was amazing"

(Australia)

Trip Verified | Shanghai to Guangzhou. I had a terrible experience with my flight cancelled and had trouble communicating. I was booked on a flight the next morning despite arriving 5 hours early. Then the agent stepped in and navigated me through the process of changing my flight. She managed to get me on a flight that was already 2 hours delayed. Her service was amazing as she ensured I was checked in and also rang me to advise me when my flight was finally boarding at 10PM that night.

"extremely good service"

(New Zealand)

Trip Verified | Guangzhou to Auckland. Very nice welcome at check in, boarding pass issued and a brief wait and then the flight boarded early. Got to Auckland slightly ahead of schedule. Staff give extremely good service during the flight. Food is about average, seats are comfortable. IFE has great selections in different language. No frills, no fuss, great service. Highly recommended airline for international travel.

"I’m pleased enough"

(China)

Trip Verified | Guangzhou to New York on 26th August,my first time traveling abroad alone as an international student. It was a real long flight, 15 hours was too long for economy class passengers with a tight seat, a bit unworthy considering its price. I was offered 3 meals which did help. Also the inflight entertainment was impressive, I was able to pick 4 movies I was interested in. The cabin crew were nice and helpful. I was helped placing my heavy luggage into the overhead bin when boarding by one of the crew. Overall, I’m pleased enough.

"ground crew's professional service"

(Canada)

Trip Verified | I originally booked from Dalian to Toronto via Guangzhou and Vancouver on Aug 20th, but couldn't catch up flights because flight of Dalian to Guangzhou couldn't departed on time due to heavy rain caused by typhoon at Dalian. I have to stay at airport for whole day waiting for updated status, but all flights were cancelled by the end of day due to severe weather condition. China Southern Airlines tried different route options in system to redirect my trip. Finally they booked Dalian to Toronto via Beijing on Aug 21 which was the earliest available flights I could catch up. I appreciate ground crew's professional service.

"lack of entertainment"

(United Arab Emirates)

Trip Verified | Shanghai to Wuhan. When I boarded the aircraft, economy seats gave plenty of space for me to rest myself comfortably. The cabin crew served kindly and were extremely responsive. However, the aircraft model was old so there was a lack of entertainment, because there wasn't wifi connection nor television. Overall, China Southern Airlines provided an enjoyable flight experience, but the only downside is the lack of modern entertainment.

"experience was superb"

(China)

Trip Verified | Shanghai to Wuhan. The experience flying with China Southern Airlines was superb. I have to complement the quality of service that the airport lounge provides: Food, beverages, fruits and snacks. Although the aircraft was old, there is no inflight entertainment, but the flight of 2 hours was handled by a kind group of cabin crew. The seats in economy class isn't bad at all, there is plenty of space.

"pleased with the trip"

(China)

Trip Verified | Guilin to Amsterdam via Beijing. It was my first time to take such a long-haul flight for tourist. The staff was very obliging, one helped me to carry my luggage and handle the transfer formalities. The connecting time of two flights was about 14 hours, so they arranged a hotel for me near the airport. I was pleased with the trip.
