"happily fly this airline again"

(France)

Trip Verified | Very attentive staff at airport check in and the cabin staff. Exceptionally clean surroundings and up to date equipment for entertainment etc. Meal service was polite and quick with plenty of good, tasty food. I would happily fly this airline again and recommend it. I would like to thank the airport information worker who gave me vital information and advice about necessary travel preparations, and PRC test requirements before my journey, without her support, it would have been very stressful days.

"food is relatively monotonous"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | I lost my wallet before boarding, but thanks to the staff there I got it back - many Thanks! The plane is new, and the seats in economy class are well spaced, though I'm taller. The crew is very considerate to help with the luggage. The food is relatively monotonous but the portion is sufficient. I hope that it can be improved after the epidemic is over. The on-board WI-FI has no option for paid use, which is not very friendly to non-members.

"airline service is good"

(China)

Trip Verified | The ground service is awesome. A kind lady took me to choose my seat, helped me address my oversized luggage, and led me to the security check. the airline service is good too, almost everyone could get a blanket if they wanted. The next flight from Sydney to Perth, I even couldn’t get a blanket in the plane from Qantas.

"cabin service should be enhanced"

(China)

Trip Verified | I was almost late for checking in, like 7 mins left. The staff of China Southern were very friendly and enthusiastic and assisted me to handle the luggage check-in matters and helped me to get through all the procedure that needed for Covid-19 application. However, the cabin service should be enhanced, especially there are no socket and USB-plot on the aircraft A380, and no pillows and earphones are provided, which are necessities for international flight. Meanwhile, the crew members should smile more when they work. Hopefully they can attach more importance on these aspects.

"seats on the plane are very comfortable"

(China)

Trip Verified | Although their flights decreased a lot due to the epidemic, it had no impact on their quality service. Maybe there are fewer flights and fewer people at the airport, but the staff at the check-in counter are more careful than before. Boarding is also very smooth. The seats on the plane are very comfortable. The greetings from the flight attendants make me feel great!
