"especially commend the staff"

(United States)

Trip Verified | Guangzhou to New York. I had a most comfortable and enjoyable flight at a price much below other comparable airlines. Business Class seat had a full reclining seat and offered privacy. The staff was very welcoming as I boarded. The plane itself was quite new and spotlessly clean. The food served was first rate and there were enough choices. If my wine or water glass was empty, I was offered a refill before I could request one. I want to especially commend the staff which took care of my cabin and made what could have been a long, tedious flight quite enjoyable. This was my first flight on China Southern but not my last!

"upgrade with a very low fare"

(Australia)

Trip Verified | Beijing to Perth via Guangzhou. I was very lucky and got invited to upgrade to business class with a very low fare and the service and seats are incredible. The crew are very nice, and food and how they served it feels like a five star restaurant. I got first check in and a nice lounge in Guangzhou, plus my bag went through really fast.

"no Inflight entertainment"

(China)

Trip Verified | Wuhan to Dubai. The flight is old and the facility is really bad. There is no Inflight entertainment at all. But the stewardesses were very nice to passengers. They provided all the service we need in time. I talked a lot with the stewardesses and without them, this journey would be terribly boring.

"onboard wifi was provided"

(Australia)

Trip Verified | Melbourne to Guangzhou return. The grounding staff in Melbourne helped me solved the problem of baggage checking, the cabin crew is friendly and patient. Guangzhou to Melbourne, I experienced the new T2 terminal - very modern and fashion, nearly all aspects are much better than the old one, and the instructions were very clear. But as T2 is too big, seemed I had go to the terminal much earlier next time. There were not many passengers during the second route, flight attendants recommended nice wine to match my food. The cabin was clean and quiet, I had a good rest. There also an arrival express card provide for business class passenger. It is worth mentioning that onboard wifi was provided during both routes.

"more than I expected"

(Canada)

Trip Verified | Toronto to Guangzhou. The service is much more than I expected. The staff try to do some work which is beyond duty. I made the trip with a monitor. When a cabin staff saw it, she found an empty storage to place it and left a writing message on it to mention others who'd like to open it. Actually, she moved the monitor twice during the trip only because she found a "safer" place for it.

"helped us with any questions"

(China)

Trip Verified | Guangzhou to San Francisco. Boarding was smooth, and they provided drinks while waiting in front of gates. The flight departed on time. It was a long flight but it was comfortable. The flight attendants smile and answer questions patiently. The director of the flight attendants saw we two old people traveling alone. She showed special care to us, asked if we are comfortable, and helped us with any questions regarding the travel, and especially with those questions on the custom forms. The SFO people guided us to the right direction and there are people organizing at the baggage claim. They are helping in Chinese, provided huge help for us who do not speak English.

"a great value for money"

(Spain)

Trip Verified | Rome to Hanoi via Wuhan and Guangzhou on March 2018. I chose this airline because the price to fly to South-East asia from Europe was much lower than any other competitor. Check in staff in Rome was extremely professional, boarding was on time. Brand new comfortable Boeing 787, airplane almost empty. Very professional and smiling staff, good english. Although, food service was quite reduced for being a long-haul flight. Transfers in Wuhan and Guangzhou were smooth and simple. Overall, a great value for money.

"always choose for domestic flight"

(China)

Trip Verified | Beijing to Singapore via Guangzhou. I always choose China Southern Airlines for domestic flight but not international flight. I hope they can improve the entertainment system and provide more choices for meal. I am fed up with noodles or rice with chicken or beef. But the friendly staff at the checkin counter asked for my preferred seat and informed me of the location of the boarding gate.
