Excess baggage fees are outrageous ($250 per bag). Flight crew and planes are nice.
We were very impressed with the modern plane its amenities, as well as the services of flight attendants.
Everything was great, however the seats in the back are very small. Not as Comfortable as I would have liked.
everything was so good! Especially Food. It was the best I've ever had! However,I requested to add mileage point to Star alliance group ANA; it hasn't been added yet.... 😞
My ticket was with EVA Airlines, but Asiana Airlines was the ground crew for EVA Airlines. Me and my family member finally received our boarding passes after waiting to check-in, which took over 30 minutes. I had never done a tax refund before, so I crossed immigration without going to customs to receive a stamp for my tax refund. When I went to the tax kiosk on the other side of the immigration gate, NICE Tax Refund asked me to talk to an airline staff member. I could not find any airline staff member, so I went to the Information Desk. The woman at the Information Desk told me and showed me a sign that read that I needed an airline staff member to accompany me to cross immigration again. The woman at the Information Desk phoned EVA Airlines and Asiana Airlines. I also phoned, but there was no answer. There was still 80 minutes before my flight would leave. I waited for 45 minutes. I spoke to Information, not one time, but two times and the woman assured me that this situation happens often and it is nothing to worry about as the airport is small and once the airline staff arrives, it would only take 10 minutes to go get the stamp and I would be able to make my flight. Then, 35 minutes before my flight was scheduled to leave an Asiana Airline employee, accompanied by the woman from the Information Desk came. Asiana asked me to confirm whether I wanted the customs declaration stamp. I answered yes. Then, she said she would like to state that I should take full responsibility if I could not make my flight. She asked whether I wanted her to proceed to contact a staff member to take me to get the stamp. This was very suspicious as there was still 35 minutes remaining until the flight took off. I directly said to her that the question was very strange, but as there was enough time remaining, I did not see a problem and wanted a staff member to accompany me to get the stamp. She went away and came back 5 minutes later and asked me whether I had the item I wanted to declare on me and how many people were traveling with me. I told her I had the item with me and I was here with a family member. She then went away again for another 5 minutes. When she came back she asked whether all members would not be traveling as well. I stated that I am not sure why me or my family member should not board the airplane. At this point, it became apparent that she was not helpful, so I tried to talk to other airline staff. I also talked to a woman wearing a reflective safety vest, who was organizing the gate bollards for boarding and she said she would take me after boarding. When I asked, how I would board the plane, she then said, you will not be able to. I then talked to a man, who spoke Mandarin and appeared to work for EVA Airlines. He told me it was my fault and not his and tried to re-direct me to another person. He was not busy at all. At this point, it became apparent that, Asiana Airlines and EVA Airlines, were more interested in delaying and preventing me from boarding the airplane. In the time the airline staff wasted arguing with me, they could have just brought me to receive the stamp. It seemed apparent that I was not going to receive the stamp or the tax refund, so I stepped into the boarding queue line. Again, the airline staff, the woman in the reflective safety vest asked me to confirm that I would not be getting on the airplane. I was already boarding! There was written signage of the procedure at your airport’s Information Desk. Then, I was passed to multiple airline staff that were not willing to assist accordingly. There was no one at the customs declaration counter and no one else from the airport to assist me. EVA and Asiana Airlines both avoided responsibility and delayed the procedure. They were rude and indirect about the situation with every attempt to prevent me from boarding. Deterring foreigners to depart from a foreign country over tax refund issues is unlawful.
The crew very accommodating and food too is good. Keep up the good work
Very good service and food. Crew was professional and helpful. Cabin and restrooms were kept clean
Sub sandwhich for a snack through mid flight and giving a bottle water was a good idea
Everything is good staff is polite and helpful flights are on time sub sandwhich for a snack was good with a bottle of water only thing maybe more variety of food like breakfast or dinner depends on the time
The flight attendants should be nicer, on my first flight I told them I’d prefer a veggie meal sometimes and then she began to lecture me about it, it was a late flight and I wanted an easy digestion meal so that I can sleep quickly. The meals were abit odd, breakfast on my last flight had eggs, oatmeal and fish, did not taste good at all, strange combination. The economy seats are very tight and crowded, not comfortable at all. Overall for the price I paid I thought I was going to get more.
I wish there was a little more leg room between the seats. The recline was good and seats overall were comfortable. I also didn’t like the 2-4-2 configuration.
The crew was very courteous and professional. the flight is relatively clean and comfortable.
a completely full flight - felt quite carmped in, despite being on the window seat. Meal served could better. Surely different from pre-covid trips I used to take to and from Bangkok.
Food was just okay, need to improve for other menu variations
The consistency with Singapore Airlines is fantastic. Crew are always brilliant and food delicious in business class
Best airline I think. No problems with anything. Crew were great, no problems with the airline food and entertainment and a smooth flight.
Lounge a access was excellent as was the attentiveness and service from the crew as always. The food and drink supplied were of good quality. The entertainment system had a good selection and I liked the mapping system supplied. However the screen wild have been bigger and the operation a little smoother to navigate. The seats were barely comfortable, but adequate.
Headwind delayed our flight which wasn’t the airlines fault
Food from Surabaya was below average but from Singapore is much better
Horrendous. We upgraded and they took the money but cancelled one of our tickets. The recline action didn’t work on the seats for the flight from Singapore to London, pre booked meals but they seemed to have disappeared as well.. Phone customer service was horrendous. Took 5 phone calls and no fix. Craig at the airport was the only one who seemed to be able to get the ticket back.
I was denied boarding at the Brisbane airport and it seems like I won’t get any refunds from the airline
In my return flight they couldn’t identify my ticket or boarding pass, I had to go to 3 different counters until I was able to get my boarding pass. The food was on, it was the bear minimum. They didn’t even recognise that I was a Muslim and can’t eat meat, chicken or pork. In one of the trays I believe they served me pork. The staff were very pleasant, but they need to be aware of their surroundings more carefully, one of them stuck her lower belly right into my face! I was shocked and very uncomfortable.
Overall I had good experience with China Southern airline. Nothing to claim. I hoped they could improve the meal quality that is.
Wow very impressed by the quality and attentiveness of service of China Southern. Lived the blankets! Will definitely fly with them again. Despite language barriers, a few attendants know enough English to understand our rudimentary Mandarin and respond to basic questions. Although they don’t explain the beverage and meal service on the website or ticketing documents, they offered regular beverage cart and snacks during the beginning hours and end hours of the long, transoceanic flight. A full meal at the beginning and end of the flight as well, and a midflight small sandwich (dinner roll sized) but we weren’t hungry and didn’t try that one. The expectation is that every sleeps during the middle of the flight. We were on a “redeye” departure from LAX with a morning arrival in China, so I don’t know if this service pattern is the same for other flights. The domestic flight we took from Guangzhou to Harbin offered conventional refreshments and meals like a US flight service. Note that they didn’t offer diet sodas. If you like to stay hydrated, I recommend bringing plenty of your own. It is served in small cups like any other drink. You can ask for a bottle but they’re tiny - about 6 ounces.
China Southern was not the problem. I booked my flight through Kayak and also received a booking reference and alert details regarding departure time and gate numbers… however Kayak NEVER actually booked my flight! We were stranded at the airport without a flight for a long awaited holiday!
The connection between LA and Atlanta was too much stress
Terrible boarding experience,,food is very poor that I I . Never going book this airline again.
The crew were kind, patient and responsive. The service was excellent, even though we travelled the cheapest economy class. We arrived at our destination 40 min early, which for a 15+ hour flight is a great bonus. The boarding seemed a bit "loose", but got us boarded on time, and the plane was off exactly @ 0:30 hrs.
The airport didn‘t give me the ticket. I called customer service to ask for a refund but they kept giving me a perfunctory response and refused to refund me.
The flight was delayed hours and most flights from CS are always delayed. Plane was efficient and got us home but not the best food and no entertainment system at all.
It was very good. It was a long flight and being a tight with little leg room.
Friendly and discreet staff. Could have done with a few more offers of water/snacks overnight. Movie and tv selection notably poor. Seats not especially comfortable
I appreciated the vailability of wheelchair services for persons with mobility issues all the way up to the aircraft. What could be better would be the food choices.
Very efficient and professional staff. Food was good and so was entertainment selection.
Plane was good Crew was good Food was just ok Could have had more entertainment options But overall good
The check-in and crew staff were wonderful. The food was reasonable. The online side Qatar was very poor. Seats were very tight and not very comfortable for a 14 hour flight!
I felt that when I was rerouted it should have been to business class.
Terrible experience resolving missed connection after flight was delayed. 3 hour queue at transit desk, not enough staff, no organisation, worst ever flying experience.
This trip was the most comfortable one I have ever experienced, the team was excellent and very helpful. I am so glad I picked Qatar Airways.
They didn't board by zones and it was a free for all. The 16 hour flight was the most excruciating experience of my life and the seats were TINY... with no leg space and my feet were swollen immediately. The food was so bad it was inedible.
CTU-KMG-CNX with 1.5 hr connection at KMG. Doable but just barely bc immigration exit from China is at the last flight leg, here: KMG to CNX. We hauled out of the domestic terminal to reenter at the international departures (luggage checked thru to CNX thankfully). Immigration had only two agents, even though KMG gets a HUGE number of foreigners. It took forever for such a shot line. Then security also took a while, so I just just made the connection. Recommend if you exit China with domestic international transfer, plan for 2+ hrs to avoid a heart attack. Airline personnel don’t suffer if you miss the flight, you do. Plan accordingly.
China Eastern as a member of Sky Alliance airlines should have the same standards overall of their partners, Besides the seats comforts everything else is bellow the standard for a business class travelers. A BIG ISSUE FOR NON-CHINESE PASSENGERS IS THE ABILITY TO CHECK IN ONLINE, by making so difficult or almost impossible there is no chance to get a seat assignment ahead of time then go to the airport and get what is left. THIS IS NOT a SKY TEAM modality.

2 parts to the journey. First leg covered in a newer plane with decent staff + POOR FOOD QUALITY but the second half didn’t leave a positive impression at all as the plane itself was an older built and the crew didn’t serve properly. Language is an issue with China Eastern flights as always, but unmotivated crew just makes it even bad.
Small plane with only two lavatories at the back. You must have a good plan to use it before or after the meal, if you make a bad decision, you will end up with standing in front of the toilet for a while till the food carts empty. The good thing is even there’s a slightly delayed, the plane is still arriving on time which is superb!!
The only personel that smiled at all were the flights attendants. Desk agents, lounge people none of them had a smile or even a hello. They were like dealing with dead fish. Again flight attendants were good. All other personnel looked like they didn’t want to be there or help.
good flight. food is only so so. I actually did not eat the snack. it does not look too good on the passenger next to me.
Food no variations only beef of chicken no veggie meals
Super surprised with the entire experience. Business class is incredible. Flight attendants around the world could learn customer service from these people. Simply fabulous experience all the way around.
Pillow and blanket are dirty. My son got multiple bites during the flight
