China Southern Airlines in a nutshell
For the 6th largest airline in the world and the largest in Asia, the main hub is South China's huge Guangzhou CAN airport.
It has other bases spread across China, from where it operates extremely frequent domestic services as well as regional and long-haul international routes.
Until 2018, China Southern Airlines was a member of SkyTeam, but is currently not part of any multinational airline alliance.
The airline has more than 670 Airbus A319/320/321, Airbus A350, Airbus A330, Boeing 737-800, Boeing 777, Boeing 787 as well as Chinese-made Comac C909 and C919 aircraft in its fleet.

Hi, I'm trying to buy tickets from China Southern. But it requires some kind of registration where it sends a code either by sms or email. It doesn't accept the Czech number at all and I've tried 3 different emails - unless it throws an error that the code can't be sent at the moment (like 5:1 clicks), the code still doesn't arrive. Isn't there a trick for this? For example, an email provider to which the code will arrive successfully?
Their website is terrible, put it in skyscanner and buy elsewhere.
Their website is terrible. No point wasting time with them, buy elsewhere.
This is typical of Chinese airlines. I buy through SA, for example.
SA won't find those flights. Skyscanner offers Gotogate, Mytrip, Booking, Trip and Opodo. The prices are similar, the question is what is the lesser of two evils?
Booking is ok.
I thought booking was the same as Gotogate? There were a lot of drive warnings against them
It is.
What about letuska.cz (asiana s.r.o.)? You can find it there. Do they have reasonable support?
Hi, has anyone made an online transit hotel reservation in Guangzhou recently? I can't click anywhere to do it, or it throws up a broken page.
Or is it currently only available at the airport in person at the counter?
Hello, please have you found any info about the transit hotel? It keeps throwing me an error after trying for hours. We are travelling with my young son and I would hate to spend 13 hours at the airport 😀 Thank you
