"staff were friendly, professional"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | I was pleasantly surprised by the service I received during my recent flight. The staff were friendly, professional, and went out of their way to ensure my comfort.

"reassuring in terms of service level"

(Germany)

Trip Verified | The service level of China Southern Airlines is still guaranteed. Compared with several well-known low-cost airlines in China that provide low-cost services to reduce costs, China Southern Airlines is more reassuring in terms of service level, aviation safety and flight punctuality.

"ticket change and refund is much greater"

(New Zealand)

Trip Verified | China Southern Airlines has gradually phased out a number of old 772, and now the mainstream of wide-body is Boeing 77-300ER and A330. Business class can lie flat and in 1-2-1 layout. At this time, the initiative of ticket change and refund is much greater. This is very good.

"Save your money and fly with someone else"

(United States)

Trip Verified | Do not fly with them! Have a 12 hour layover starting from Bangkok to Guangzhou and then to Beijing. Was told once we land we'll be given a hotel to stay in while we wait for the next flight. When we land in Guangzhou the help desk then tells us "No we've changed the rules, we only give out the hotel rooms if you're business class or higher". Save your money and fly with someone else.
