“excellent service from Southern China Airlines”

written by ecojoe on 18/12/2012

Travelled from London to Auckland, bought ticket from Hoodaki, best price by far, so expected a bucket shop flight but was pleasantly surprised by every aspect of the trip.
Very polite Chinese staff - who all spoke some English, certainly enough to provide a good service. The announcements were in Chinese and English but not too many unlike some airlines. The food was fine, oriental theme to every meal but what do you expect from a Chinese airline, on the four legs of my journey most passengers were Chinese apart from my return journey to London from China, which was mostly occupied by Westerners. In flight entertainment was fine with individual TV screens offering a range of movies & games etc.

Flights were on time, one half an hour late leaving, but one arriving half an hour early, which is to be expected when travelling through international air terminals.

Travelled economy class and would happily recommend Southern China Airlines to anyone as they offer a similar standard to other international airlines I've been on, but for 25% less cost.
