Someone said there are only 70 passes for the entire plane. - Similar experience with “free wifi” Guangzhou’s Bayun airport if you don’t have a Chinese simcard in your phone. - Navigating China Southern’s website for online check-in is a nightmare."

Smiling flight atendents. This is my first travel with China southern On the other hand during 6 wk prior to our trip we were unable to get anybody on the phone to ask Q or reserve a seat. On line charades where like a closed loops ! The price for long haul: Dubai/Guangzhou/cairns could not be beat!!"

Cons: "My experience with flying China Southern for my flights from SFO to BKK and HAN to SFO was the worst that I have ever experienced in my many years traveling for work and leisure. I took this trip with Connor Logan (booked separately) and we both received the same service. To start, when we arrived at SFO we were told our flight was delayed for 7 hours due to mechanical failure and that we would be unable to make our connecting flight in CAN. Even though we had checked the flight status the morning of the flight, there was no information updated. When I spoke to a China Southern employee, she told me that she was informed the Night Before when her boss called her into work because they knew an entire flight would have to be rerouted, yet they did not even warn passengers the morning of the flight. After being changed to a new flight plan, we struggled to get proper help to get our tickets with United and China Eastern because there were some issues with paper tickets that China Southern gave versus the tickets that United accepted. It took 4 hours of confusion in SFO and a stressful quick layover in Shanghai. We did not feel taken care of."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "The overall experience was horrible. As a start - even though we bought the ticket via China Eastern, they claimed no responsibility over the tickets, since it was operated by China Southern. We were re-directed to them to complete the check-in process. The flight was delayed by 5 hours, without fiving no explanation to the customers or any direction at all. The flight was supposed to depart at 9:15 in the evening, at midnight the status on the boards at midnight was still "check in" and the team at the desk were not cooperative at all. Tgank you."
Pros: "Fed like clockwork with decent food."
Cons: "Shared screens for entertainment due to small plane. Seated next to a crying baby so slightly miserable some of the flight. Spacing between seats was limited. Crew ran out of food choices. Mobiles could not used ."
Pros: "Flight got cancelled last minute. Rebook service was horrrible. The supervisor was very emotional and unprofessional. He was screaming on the phone and refuse to listen saying I already told you what happened this is our policy thats it! At the end they finally rebooked the flight, but the layover was close to 10hrs. I later found out they had a 3hr layover. It could of been a lot smoother. I do not recommend this airline."

Pros: "I had just suffered multiple breaks in my arm/shoulder and was returning to the States. I was in considerable pain and flying alone - this was the first flight out I could get. Everyone was AMAZING. From helping to rearrange seats, other passengers, and even upgrade to maximize comfort and minimize more damage to my arm to helping open any food packages so that I could eat with medication and checking in on me frequently, I couldn't have asked for better attention given the situation. I hadn't heard of this airline before but now highly recommend - they were amazing through two flight legs, two different airline crews, and 3 airports. Cannot thank the crew enough for their attention and care during a very difficult time. I am a frequent traveler and this is the best customer experience I've ever had."
Cons: "Nothing, they were amazing."
Pros: "1.Leg room was good in economy class. 2. The Food was Good. 3. Saved travel time. 4. Tickets were cheaper compared to other airlines"
Cons: "1. Flight from Delhi to Guangzhou had bad air smell. 2. Limited entertainment especially if you are Indian. 3. Had to run nearly 1 km or over at Guangzhou to catch the connecting flight to Los Angeles. The Airline could have arranged vehicles rather than letting passenger run to catch the connecting flight. That was tough especially if you could not walk fast or run."
Pros: "All of the flight crew spoke enough English to be helpful and kind. All seats come with pillow and blanket. Good and plenty food for an internal flight."
Pros: "The flight boarded early and left on time. The entertainment provided was good."
Cons: "There was hardly any service from the in-flight crew. I've had shorter flights where the crew comes regularly with water, at least. This crew did the least possible, it was worse than flying in the US on an American airline."
Cons: "I did not have a complete ticket until approximately 24-hours before departure and only after I called Airfare.com literally for weeks, and then finally told them I wanted to cancel. Then all legs of the trip were suddenly booked, but seats were not confirmed. I was charged a $450 cancellation fee despite the fact that they did not do their job because I was unable to trust anything they were doing, and subsequently booked my flight direct through Delta. Please keep in mind I purchased the ticket on July 3, 2016 and Airfare.com was unable to provide me a complete ticket until the night of August 16, 2016 with a August 17, 2016 departure date to China! I can honestly say this was the worst travel booking experience I've ever had."
Cons: "I wasn't allowed on the flight. Had to buy another one."
Cons: "Food horrible. Walking across runway to plane in the rain. All flights delayed. 12 hour layover was a horror , even at gratis hotel. endless security checks. Never again with this outfit."
Cons: "The boarding is caotic, the staff didn't communicate well about the delay, the plane is old, basically no entertainment, no USB charging, food was social"
Cons: "Crew was very rude. They spoke in Chinese even when I was speaking to them in English. My two luggages were left in China and was delivered to me two days later. No voucher was offered."
Cons: "Flight staff essentially refused to answer questions, particularly in english, aboutique how long we might be delayed, whether there would be another flight, where we should wait or go for more information. I and other passengers were ignited multiple times and even had conversations abruptly ended when the staff turned away after 2 or 3 questions to which we received incomplete and evasive responses."
Pros: "The Airbus A380 airplane. Low fare"
Cons: "3hrs delay on boarding. Not enough departure monitors at Quangzhou airport. No wifi service at airport.l while waiting at the gate. The stewardess assigned at seat 41k is mean and uncommodating while in the air for 13hrs. Most horrible flying experience I've ever had! 3hrs delay on boarding.

Cons: "Worst experience ever"
