Pros: Mostly okay service, on-time and some English ability. Cons: The food sucks and the movies were awful, be sure to pack your own food.

New Airplanes

Do not fly China Southern Airlines... by pjamea ,Aug 21 '06
Pros: Nothing good. Cons: Bad food, bad service, cancelled our flight for 24 hours!
They cancelled our flight back home from Guangzhou to Los Angeles because there weren't enough people in the plane! They placed us in a airport hotel. Next flight was 24 hour later. Not compensations were given. They charged us extra at the hotel with no meals.
If you are a foreigner, you do not want to fly this airline. Trust me!
