Pros: I had a very bad experience on checking in. I went to check in at Beijing Capital airport over 1 hour (about at least 65-70 minutes) earlier than the time of taking off on Nov. 2, However, I wasn’t allowed to check in. The staff said I was late and asked me to spend extra $200 to reschedule my flight. Therefore I had to spend $200 on changing my flight to next day on November 3, which was one day late back to Boston than I expected. That’s too bad and incredible!
Cons: There are a couple of things need to be improved. First of all, the food were not fresh, especially the salad dish. In mean dish, the beef cooked with too much dark source and tasted salty. Hope you could improve the food quality near future! Secondly, the luggages came out too late. All passengers had waited for their luggages for more than 1hour, which was really too long. Please consider about the concerns! Thanks!review from

Pros: Boarding was fast. Taking-off and landing were very smooth. The crew are friendly and polite. They even served lunch for this two hours flight. I like the windows that changes color. You can have a good nip even during the day.
Cons: The flight was delayed for more than two hours. Upset with it.review from

Cons: Only one issue needs to be improved is transfer from Chengdu to Beijing. I had to claim my two luggage first, then I push the luggage cart walked outside of the building from T1 to T2 about 10mins. Neither crews nor signs show the transfer way!

Pros: The flight per se is not too bad. But the transit in Beijing is horrible. A shuttle bus ran almost 20 minutes to get us from landing spot to luggage pick up and waited another 20 min to get our luggage. We almost missed our next flight and the airport staff didn't want to help at all.

Cons: Kiosks in Guangzhou would not accept passport, perhaps because I am a foreigner. This forced me to wait in line with checked bag customers, though I only needed a boarding pass.

Overview of Hainan Airlines
Offering a broad range of both domestic Chinese services and international flights, Hainan Airlines has become a major member of the Asian aviation industry. Despite having headquarters in Haikou on the Hainan Island, the carrier operates the majority of its international services out of Beijing. Additional hubs are positioned in 5 other locations across China: Guangzhou, Sanya, Xi’an, Shenzhen and Hangzhou.
Hainan Airlines has a large network of flights throughout Asia as well as connections to Europe, Oceania and North America. Scheduled services are run to at least 30 countries across the globe, which include the United States, Canada, Australia and Mexico. It became the first airline to offer a direct service between Boston and China in 2014. Codeshare agreements with carriers, such as WestJet, Alaska Airlines and American Airlines, spread its reach across North America.
A combination of Airbus and Boeing aircraft are chosen to facilitate Hainan Airlines routes. The Boeing 737-800 model is one of the most commonly flown, capable of carrying approximately 164 passengers. Larger aircraft like the Boeing 787-9 are used for transcontinental trips. The livery of the fleet features a white fuselage and red tail decorated with yellow wings of the mythical Garuda bird.
Economy passengers are provided with padded headrests and waist pillows to make the journey comfortable. Upgrading to Premium Economy provides a more private setting and access to the Business Class lavatories. Seats recline to a flatbed in Business Class, while walnut wood details deliver a luxurious feel. A designer Bvlgari amenity kit is provided as well as BOSE noise-cancelling headphones.
