New plane,comfortable seats, modern entertainment

Ethiopian Airlines check in staff made a pigs-ear of my check in process. First they claimed I'd missed the flight (my ticket said 2335 on 15 Dec, they changed flight to 0010 on 16 Dec, but claimed that as my ticket was for 15 Dec my booking was invalid). They proceeded to re-issue me with a new ticket a (for the 0010 fight on 16 Dec), but then also tried to change my connecting flights by one day - even though they should remain the same (in effect the flight was only put back by 35 minutes, so why change a booking for connecting flight by 24 hours?). Fortunately on arrival in Shanghai, air china check me onto the correct flight. However, to compound matters, my luggage has gone missing and, bizarrely, Ethiopian airlines issued all foreign passengers with landing cards for Japan - not China!

Food was better than most. The crew was nice. The flight departed promptly.

The touch screen didn't work, and the bar below the chair that one can step on couldn't hold itself up, and I constantly had to reposition it. The audio port of the seat next to me didn't work either. The plane definitely needs a renovation.

Good guidance

There's no boarding zone?

Time no delayed, Crew very nice, Nice and clean aircraft.

No ice cream serve on board

Tempting fare for a long haul flight. Luckily they had new air craft 787 on this sector.

Bad food.

China Southern's economy seats are spacious for legroom and seat width and the entertainment system is well stocked with movies/TV shows/music. Some entertainment systems will also com with a USB port to charge your device (if it's allowed to be used). All seats come with pillow and blanket to keep you warm throughout the flight.

Any mobile devices that can be used as a cell phone are not allowed to be on or used while on board the flight. This includes mobile phones in flight mode (China Southern explained to me that this is Chinese law), so don't expect to do anything with your mobile phone which means you're basically using their entertainment system. They will stop and tell you midflight to turn off your phone. Food was horrible, no soap in the bathrooms, and boarding/deboarding in Guangzhou was a test of patience. Having been through Guangzhou twice, despite there being multiple gates for planes to pull into for arrival, they'll always deplane you to the tarmac where buses will be waiting. They'll then drive you to an arrival's terminal where you're forced through a long line that leads to a China Southern desk for them to stamp your boarding pass to wait for your next flight. This line was 30 minutes long for our plane alone and increased as more arrived. Boarding was the same where you get on a bus, stand for 10-15 minutes while they drive you to a plane that was for whatever reason was attached to another gate that no one had access to and you've climbing stairs to board again. The airport itself is devoid of many food or coffee shops and what's available is expensive and of low quality/taste. Expect to see endless construction, many unclean bathrooms where the toilet seats don't even fit the toilet they've been attached to, and lack of soap in the bathrooms.

We got checked in quickly unlike the first time we flew VirginAustralia when it took two hours to get through the checkin line and checked in. For that flight we would have missed the flight if it had been on time.

Seats were very cramped

An earlier flight was apparently got cancelled so my husband and I got split up, each landing a middle seat, not together. That was a bit disappointing.

Nothing

I couldn't sit next to my partner even though we booked under one booking and I didn't get a meal when everyone else did.

Much improved from the 'old' Qantas. Crew friendly and attentive.

Boarding at Sydney a little messy. Only one attendant at gate. Longest queue ever.

Courtesy and smiling faces.

I actually have no complaints. All went well on both legs of my flight.

Delayed flight.

Nothing... Entire experience horrible for my 17 year old.

Everything. Will never use American Airlines again

First class

I liked that the crew was attentive to our needs.

I wish we had more snacks offered

The staff were great with my dog(golden retriever) really helped me... Also the service overall was fantastic best journey I have experienced yet travelling to China and I have lived here 8 years so probably 100 flights

Nothing was all great thanks

All.

I liked everything about the flight except how the layover was handled. The original aircraft for the leg of the flight from Doha to L.A. had to be changed, and it seemed like confusion descended, and 2 hours later, we were finally boarded on the new aircraft.

The added time to my layover was hard because it was unexpected, and was handled poorly, in my opinion.

Our flight was cancelled and rebooked for 6 hours later. We did not get notification of this change. My gluten free meal was not on the flight that was changed. All the airline reps that I spoke with were very unhelpful.

Announcements were made in Japanese, English, and Thai. We were warned about turbulence several times in all languages. Flight to Bangkok from Tokyo had a USB port to charge my iphone, but flight back to Tokyo did not. Service from cabin attendants was excellent. One apologized twice for running out of the lunch selection I wanted to have, even though I was happy with the chicken curry. Courteous staff and pleasant experience, even with a competitive airfare. I would fly JAL again.

Beautiful air plane Nice flight assistants

The security person was incorrect about my Lithium battery causing me 45 minutes at the security check. I was also disappointed that even a coke needed to be paid for extra.

Good house of entertainment and food was good for a short flight!

Nothing that stood out overall a good flight but I've had better.

I got two beers and a decent meal

The aircraft was old and dumpy. The IFE is very insufficient and needs to be renewed.

Flight was delayed then after many hours got to know that the flight was cancelled. . It was terrible and didn't expect it.due to this my plans and work for effected. Now after my arrival to USA I received my laguages after 2 days. when I received my laguage Many of my stuffs are missing. I'm highly disappointed with this service. I'm never ever going to use air China again. I won't recommend to my friends too. A very bad service

Airline equipment (aircraft ) in poor condition... International transfer flights point , poorly manned by Chinese imagration..(they just didn't care if you made your connecting flight)

after all the schedule changes the flight was on time and boarding was easy

the food should be better and have more variety also the movie could be more updated; the changes of the departure time should be more stable

Staff, organization

Everything :)

Good service

Staff efficient

Abit slow at check in with queues

Nothing ride staff no water

Everything. Late, delayed without notice. Completely screwed our travel plans

If ever possible I never fly air China though Beijing again. This flight had horrible service, the crew was rude, the airport staff in Beijing were rude. there wa no inflight entertainment on a 5 hour flight.

I really like the technology in the plain and all of service , crew are so nice everyone had a real smile

Space of the seat are too tiny also a place to have some food

The crew are very very friendly, helpful,fantastic service, all thing is good

I like in the future is thay have arabic person , i would like thay take care about his meal( halal food)
