Verified Review | Manila to Los Angeles via Guangzhou with China Southern. I don't know if it's just me but it was impossible to do the online check-in with this carrier. I have attempted several times to check in online and it would always say "error". I also tried to call the office in Manila to do it for me. Apparently, they cannot help me as well. It is so sad to know this. Yes, your ticket is one of the cheapest out there but why make us suffer. Some of us want to sit together or get good seats but we cannot do so unless we go to the counter extremely early. I hope they resolve this issue. Seats on the first leg, I was lucky enough to get an exit row, window seat on the (Boeing 737) It was pretty comfortable and spacious. The food was average and the service was okay as well. Seats on the second leg were on the upperdeck (A380), this was pretty good as well. I was able to doze off. The entertainment system was also good. Wish they had a phone charger too, like a USB outlet. Food was again average - nothing to WOW to me. The service here was much better though. They also handed out amenity kits which were pretty useful. I have to say I love the A380, flight was great! Very smooth and almost no turbulence at all. What I don't like would be that the staff doesn't go around to serve snacks while mid-way through the flight. You wouldn't know your options unless you asked them. Plus the snack choices were limited - sandwiches and instant noodles. Check in on both planes were good and very smooth. Again, to get good seats you need to be at the counter extra early because on my return flight, I wasn't able to sit together with my brother or get exit row seats or even get the upper deck. That's my tip for you guys out there who experienced the same problems with me.
