We flew China southern in 2018, from Amsterdam-Guangzhou-Melbourne and back. This year we flew them from Amsterdam-Guangzhou-Kualalumpur I have to say, after 5 years they are still one of the best airlines for the price, I will always fly them if they are an option. I mean, hot towels in economy?
I flew on them when they still had the los angless to shenyang route, it felt like a typical airline but before decent they have a thankyou speech from the crew witch i have never seen from any other airlines ive flown on
When my dad was in China on buisness about 10 years ago he met the General Manager of relations (or something) of China Southern.. and got Free first class ticket on his way home xD
Me too! In 2018 we flew this route when we went to australia, so it must've been a brand new plane. In 2 months we're on this same route again to guangzhou, but they're using an a350 on it now.
For years I have been watching trip reports on YT & airline reviews and I've decided, your reviews are the best. You simply highlight the exact moments of interest for me, and I find myself not skipping anything you put out in the videos. Thanks and happy flying!!
Thank you for reviewing China Southern! I fly from New York to Guangzhou on the B777-300ER regularly to visit family and I love seeing a positive review from a Western person! Many people have negative views of China Southern, but I believe your review was honest and nice! Thank you for your videos, I can’t wait to see more! 😄❤️
Last year I flew from Nairobi to changsha on a pratt powered A330-200, I had low expectations but they were exceeded! There was plenty of food (like two hot meals) and the flight attendants were friendly and attentive, passing through the cabin often, conducting snack and beverage services between meals, the IFE was fairly extensive with lots of movies and music, too many for an 11 hour flight 😁, and the plane itself (A330-200) was comfortable, especially the configuration 2-4-2👌🏽 all in all I enjoyed my experience with China Southern, I was positively surprised.
For economy the food looks very nice indeed. Altogether looks like you had a great flight. Thos leftovers looked nice, cant beat a good bit of mashed potato. Breakfast looked very nice too. Thanks for sharing David. Liked.
Thanks so much for another great trip report! It was a great reminder for me. You enjoyed CZ and they are a rather good airline. Friendly FAs (if you don't command them as Chinese do), nice food, on time,
Love the video. I did one on the nyc-guangzhou route but didnt turn out as I liked. I wasnt sure how strict the filming was. But this video brought up good memories. Love the videos!!!!
I was on this flight around 7 years ago and it wasn’t the best. but I’m glad to see that it improved! !My! experience 7 years ago My chair was broken (couldn’t get a new one full flight no biggie) In flight entertainment was also unresponsive (but yet again full flight) The food was ok back then nothing like what I saw in this video(the food was literal mush back then) They did offer a bit extra because the inconvenience that was good. So I’m glad to see that they upgraded and I will definitely be trying them again.
Great Report!! China Southern seems an amazing carrier to fly with. I love the take off and landings in Schiphol, to see all that water around, it's impressive! Kind Regards mr. David! And keep doing like that! :)
Superb. Absolutely superb. As someone who is at university studying a broadcast journalism course, and as someone who loves flying, this is aspirational. This is how I want to make videos. You guys are possibly the best in the game on CZcams - a real pleasure to watch. Hopefully I can one day produce something as complete and well-polished as you guys!
Simply Aviation is best aviation/trip report channel on CZcams. Keep up the good work. Also congrats on passing 210,000 subscribers. Can't wait till that number reaches 1 million!!!
Wowww, I personally have been with simply aviation since this chanel started (though I cant remember the first video :) ) I have seen this channel Rise and Fall and Rise again to be popular. So far ( Aside from Sam Chui ) This channel will be the best of all. TYSM David!
What a fantastic video and must say they looked an impressive airline . The plane was beautiful even though only a few months old . Cheers subscribed now 👍
Awesome channel. Best tripreport channel. I cant remember my first video. I have been watching simply aviation for one and a half years.Good work Felix, David and Simon.Love from India
Thanks you so much for simply aviation.. you give me chance to see the aviation world... I cant afford to experience it but i can see through you video... Tq so much...
Great Video ! The reason you got an amenity kit is that CZ only provides them for the first two rows passengers for each economy class section, so it was lucky for you to have one! For rear rows flight attendants will not give out these bags at first place, but you can still get one by asking them. I m a frequent flyer of CZ, hope these tips can help you :)
Looks to me like a better-than-average Economy flight! The food appeared to be quite appetizing, the seating was good and the IFE seemed to be responsive.
why in the world would CS hand out amenity kits with 2 hours left to landing? shouldnt they have been distributed between meal services? bottom line, i don't get the timing of the second meal and the hand out of the amenity kits. any thoughts?
Hi , how much luggage do they allow for hand carry ?? I'm also travelling soon with this airline. You sure about amenity kit for economy class ?? Thanks for the review :)
Thanks for the great trip report. I wonder how you find about the crews attitude? All the while I know China based airlines cabin crew are not friendly towards blogger.
I need to do a long flight to NZ in the near future. Have never flown with China Southern. It all looks pretty good. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
I know this is a bit of an odd question, where did you get those pants? I have a pair that looks similar and they are the best damn pants ever and I need more, they are especially comfortable for flying.
What I really love about your videos is that you very rarely fly anything other than economy class which makes it a lot more relatable. Thank you!
One of the reasons why I also love this channel
Ikr.!
Finally the Chinese aviation companies are picking up to world class standards. Thank you for this amazing trip report.

@@CatBot007 Ohh yeah I remember that, where they bow for you. They were amazing.
These trip reports reach youtube red standards or even higher!!! Keep up the good work!

Wow his must be really lucky
Can relate but with Cathay Pacific :D
So lucky
Lucky duck.
I love Chinese airlines. The background music, the newspapers in the jet bridge, people speaking Mandarin and even Cantonese... Just perfect :D

Oh god
I'm Chinese and I'm terrible at speaking Chinese

I was impressed by the really genuine and friendly greeting, the cute air fresheners in the restrooms and how young this plane is!!

The a330, 777, and a350 designs are perfection ❤

Best economy class ever. China Southern is so thoughtful of everybody, especially the amenity kit offer.

Great video as usual. I went on China Southern a couple years back, and WOW! They've really updated and upgraded haven't they? :')
Very nice, calm steady pics, finally someone filming and commenting on food- love that report !!!
I have just watched The video and I love the way you film those sunset, it's beautiful, haha
Stellar tripreport as always!! Would love to fly with China Southern some day... seems to be a nice airline! :D
Thanks so much for another great trip report! It was a great reminder for me.
You enjoyed CZ and they are a rather good airline. Friendly FAs (if you don't command them as Chinese do), nice food, on time,
Hey simply aviation nicee video again!😁👍 im flying in december from Amsterdam to Taiwan en then to Sydney !
I always flown on China Southern, and I loved their hot meals! As well as first class, the crew on there are REALLY NICE
Love the video. I did one on the nyc-guangzhou route but didnt turn out as I liked. I wasnt sure how strict the filming was. But this video brought up good memories. Love the videos!!!!
China Southern had done a great job on this flight. It's latest economy seat product is brilliant.
Guangzhou is so close to where I live, I really want to visit
Was the aircraft parked at a remote stand before coming to the gate?
*A Netflix Original Series*
Always feature a great vlog! Good job, Simply Aviation! 👍👍👍
will you fly Air Europa's 787 on a long haul flight anytime soon?
I was on this flight around 7 years ago and it wasn’t the best. but I’m glad to see that it improved!
!My! experience 7 years ago
My chair was broken (couldn’t get a new one full flight no biggie)
In flight entertainment was also unresponsive (but yet again full flight)
The food was ok back then nothing like what I saw in this video(the food was literal mush back then)
They did offer a bit extra because the inconvenience that was good.
So I’m glad to see that they upgraded and I will definitely be trying them again.

Very well put together report. Thank you for posting
All right, thanks for posting! Looks like the food was great. What can you say about the beverage options? Were there western soft drinks, like Coke?
Yes there were. :) Beverage selection is very similar on most flight. Alcoholic beverages were complimentary as well...
Wowww, I personally have been with simply aviation since this chanel started (though I cant remember the first video :) ) I have seen this channel Rise and Fall and Rise again to be popular. So far ( Aside from Sam Chui ) This channel will be the best of all. TYSM David!
I still don’t understand how I didn’t find this channel sooner. Great video report!
No talking: Great video! Visual speaks volume, thank you!
I'm so excited that next month I'm using csair from Kota Kinabalu to new york via guangzhou 😆😆😆
A post-pandemic review of them would be awesome since they are currently offering some very competitive fares on routes to Asia :D
A great flight report as usual, very good job!

Lovely tripreport ! *Comprehensive and entertaining!*
Looks pretty decent. I also like the seat configuration. Good review!
this A330 IS like jumboyour seat A50 and the position in meddle the plane wow! good job !
Airline hack: ask for an extra meal. Hahaha. Going to try that on my next flight!
Fabulous report .. Thanks for sharing this lovely moment
Economy flight and the crew welcome you politely, as if you were flying first class, which is nice to see!
That is so awesome ive never flown before but it has to be awesome
Awesome trip reports I love watching them and the thumbnails always look so good
Simply incredible! Keep up with the amazing work!
Great Tripreport as always! Also, I feel so sorry for you that the new website could not be launched, I hope you guys aren't too sad :/

best aviation you tuber ...by the way i have flown Qatar airways 787 to Vienna unfortunately we landed in the morning so it was dark ...
Holy moly i just realised that i saw that flight on flightradar once not sure was it your flight tho
You are the best tripreporter on the CZcams.
Keep it up👍
Omg! I flew on exactly the same date from Amsterdam on Jet Airways Flight 231 to Mumbai! I’m gutted to have missed meeting you in the terminal :(
Nice video, pleasantly surprised by their product! There's a mistake in the map at the beginning of the video, it must be 11000 km and not miles
Yeah
China Southern usually uses the a380 for Amsterdam to Guangzhou flights but how came they're using the a330 for that?
Great video! (As always) hahaha
I love your tripreports so much why didnt you guys upload in the last 2 months?
Hey! can you try norra nordic regional airlines?
Thats great,I am always to shy to ask for more and usualy when I do get the courage they deny me so I am even more hesitant to ask the next time....
why does it feels like the a380 in the beginning is missing part of the vertical thing（I don’t know what that’s call I’m sorry)
why in the world would CS hand out amenity kits with 2 hours left to landing? shouldnt they have been distributed between meal services? bottom line, i don't get the timing of the second meal and the hand out of the amenity kits. any thoughts?
T Becker they handed out the amenity kits after the first meal
Welcome to my hometown Guangzhou
Hope you enjoy the new T2 terminal (open in 2018!!!) and the Cantonese food right here
Hi , how much luggage do they allow for hand carry ?? I'm also travelling soon with this airline. You sure about amenity kit for economy class ?? Thanks for the review :)

Love trips. 🚄 🛳
Love airtrips. ✈
I need to do a long flight to NZ in the near future. Have never flown with China Southern. It all looks pretty good. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
I know this is a bit of an odd question, where did you get those pants?
I have a pair that looks similar and they are the best damn pants ever and I need more, they are especially comfortable for flying.
There isn't any troublance during the flight?
Was that a China Southern 747 at 12:47?
Smooth Landing!! 👍🏻
how tall are you?
Why don't you fly with any of the middle east airlines?
I enjoy this
Amsterdam vs Heathrow. which is more crowded?
its obvious
Why?AMS always Crowded
