"choose China Southern next time"

(United Kingdom)

Verified Review | Guangzhou to London. The service is pretty good and flight attendants with smile and helpful. The seats are comfortable. I lost my rings somehow after the flight was on, but pressed the helpi button. The staff came and tried every means to help me. Also, some other sweet fellows seated around me joined this ring-searching activities. Lucky me, I regained my ring. I will choose China Southern Airlines again next time.

"demonstrated great service"

(Canada)

Verified Review | We flew from Vancouver to Guangzhou as a family of four. On board crew demonstrated great service through their patience and attentiveness. Comfortable seats and up-to-date entertainment made the flight one of the highlights of our trip to China. As a CBC who grew up on Asian and western foods, you can expect a decent meal. Aircraft remained surprisingly clean for a 13 hour flight.

"was an enjoyable experience"

(China)

Verified Review | Chengdu to Zhuhai via Guiyang. Flight attendants were friendly and helpful. The seat near the emergency exit has more space, I felt comfortable during the flight. The plane landed in Guiyang and stayed there for 1 hour, we could walked out the cabin and relax in the transit lounge. Finally,we arrived in Zhuhai earlier than expected. Zhuhai airport was a little small, all kinds of guiding signs were clear, I could claim my baggage very quickly. Overall this was an enjoyable experience, one suggestion is that if they lower their pricing, they must be very competitive.

"to taste of Chinese travellers"

(China)

Verified Review | Guangzhou to New York, excellent service. I had a Chinese meal and western-style meal - the Chinese meals are to the taste of most Chinese travellers, but the dessert needs to be improved. There is no in-flight wifi which let me very disappointed.

"inflight entertainment cannot work"

(China)

Verified Review | Xiamen to Paris via Guangzhou. My fight from Xiamen to Guangzhou was delayed due to weather issues, so I didn't catch the second flight. I had to change my second fight so I choose CZ347. The flight departed on time The aircraft was new and cabin clean. Seats with adequate leg room. I was satisfied with China Southern Airlines cabin service for my trip. I think the efficiency, politeness and professionalism of the crew was first rate. The food was delicious. But my inflight entertainment cannot work - such a terrible thing through my 13 hours flight,

"the service was excellent "

(Austria)

Verified Review | Perth to Mudanjiang via Guangzhou. CZ320 on 2016/8/25 was delayed for 10 hours because the main ru way was closed, we were informed early of this delay via email, however we arrived on time to check in and our bags were checked in, we were provided with taxi vouchers to and from the airport. We returned to the airport at boarded our flight which left at 5pm arriving at Guangzhou at 1.30 am then we went to our Hotel, the Crown Plaza Hotel and we had a big room as I was travelling with my family and my 4 year old daughter. The service was excellent and the food was great, I am a Sky Pearl member and will continue to fly China Southern Airlines, the delay was not the airlines fault.

"courteous, professional, super helpful"

(United States)

Verified Review | On August 20th I flew from Guangzhou to New York JFK on CZ399. It was perhaps the most pleasant long-haul flight I've taken in economy class (seat 57H). The plane was modern with a comfortable seat and the latest video electronics. The flight attendants provided exceptional service. In particular, our English-speaking flight attendant was courteous, professional, super helpful, and her English was impeccable. I will definitely fly China Southern again.

"it is much nicer than expected"

(United Kingdom)

Verified Review | Guangzhou to London Heathrow. I was on a multi-stop visit to China, and this was my second airline. I left Chengdu on time and did a short transit in Guangzhou before heading to London. It sounded like a long journey but it is much nicer than expected! The check-in process was efficient despite a long queue. The girl at the check-in desk asked her colleague to explain to me about the transfer. I speak little Chinese, so I found it very useful to know what to expect at Guangzhou airport where I had never been before. Also, I got a bit anxious that my phone was dying. Knowing that I packed in my phone charger, one of the ground staff kindly offered me to use her own charger while I was waiting to board. I flew economy but the seat was quite comfortable with good leg space. It was a relatively long flight, but the meal was good, accompanied by an excellent Bordeaux. Flight was on time, service was excellent.

"really pleasant flight experience"

(China)

Verified Review | A pleasant trip from Guangzhou to Chiangmai with China Southern. I booked the ticket from the airline website, and the procedure was not complex. The check in service was smooth and the ground staff were patient. The onboard catering service were improved a lot than before. They provided soft drinks and alcohol in economy class. The flight attendants were busy during the whole flight. The entertainment is not individual, but it was updated movie. The onboard duty free price were really fair. Generally speaking, it was really pleasant flight experience.
