Verified Review | China Southern from Los Angeles to Bangkok return via Guangzhou. The flight from LAX to CAN was 15 hours 10 minutes. On the way to Guangzhou I sat window seat, I was awake a good amount of the flight there and was comfortable. The seats were spacious, I had enough leg room and the staff was extremely friendly. The food was great and they are quick to bring you any beverage you need at any point in your stay. They had a huge selection of movies, a wide variety of shows available, music, short travel movies, the map was great, every seat had a charging station so that was great as well. On the flight home my friend asked for a snack after the last meal and they gave her a turkey sandwich. I also asked for a glass of wine and even though they were technically done with opening new bottles she found me some red wine and was able to pour us each a glass which helped go back to sleep for the rest of the flight. I'm extremely Lactose in tolerant and I was able to eat most of the meals. The layover in Guangzhou is what puts them over the top. I only speak English and didn't know a drop of Chinese. Upon exiting the plane the crew direct you where to go for your visa and a woman from China Southern who is fluent in English was waiting to help us, she made sure we filled out the paper work then gave us a map and went through the rest of the directions with us & ensured we understood completely what to do/where to go. My friend and I followed other people and got lost in the airport for 1-2 hours and once we found the paper she gave us we found our next stop within 5 minutes. Since we had a 26 hour layover the people at the China Southern counter had us pick a 5 star hotel. Since we were about to miss our bus the girls ran all the way through the airport with us, sat us on the first seats of the bus and talked to the bus driver and made sure he knew where to take us and made sure he told us when to get off. When our stop came up he found us and made sure we got off and told us where to go to find the concierge at the hotel. It was in the middle of the city and gorgeous. We got a great free buffet breakfast, transportation to and from the hotel. Everything free. The only things we paid for was our day of wandering around China before our flight to BKK.
