Find Cheap Flights from Washington Dulles Intl to Beijing (IAD - BJS)

Food was horrible. Flight attendants not courteous. Would not let me use my phone even on airplane mode. Other patrons loud and inconsiderate. Transfer in Beijing was chaotic and inefficient, almost causing me to miss my connection. Would not fly with air China again.

They broke the zipper on my bag.

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

Bad food.

One leg of the flight was a dreamliner.

Food was the worst I have had in memory. Crew are also the worst I have experienced in memory.

Orderliness

Staff showing ignorance on "checking-in once for one trip", say from Abidjan to Blantyre. They kept me waiting but with little help.

The plane is spacious. It gives leg comfort

clean. Seat covers nice and clean. furniture color scheme pleasant.

1. Seat distance by far too less. 2. seat width on the borderline of being acceptable. 3.. No entertainment, not even a flight info screen available. 4. Only instant coffee available. If it is instant, cappuccino or other café specialities should be available. Emirates and Etihad make the example. 5. Food okay - but not for french airline. No innovation, no thought in it. Standard "how do I get the cattle fed the cheapest possible" food. 6. Electrical / USB / Network plugs or WIFI unknown.

Late

Late

Having the knowledge never to book them again.

Delayed flight. Caused us to miss connection (also on CA). Bags Lost. No help finding bag. 48 hours later and no updates after frequent calls.

The friendly staff

Poor transfer information Poor food choice Poor movie choice No entertainment on Beijing-Bangkok flight Beijing airport is a poor transfer experience - I will avoid this airline and the Beijing airport in the future

Really fantastic international service from Air China, especially considering the low airfare. Orderly boarding, in-flight service, and unloading. The cabin and seats were perfectly acceptable, comfortable, clean. Their food is my favorite out of several other airlines I fly with, which is a small but nice perk.

I received some notifications that the flight was delayed, when in reality this was not the case. Not sure if there was an error there on the part of Air China though. The restrictions on use of electronics in flight (cell phones in particular-- but not tablets? Why?) was tough to understand.

The free entertinment

Airline lost my luggage, arrived at my destination for a few day without any change of clothes and hygiene essaintials. I hope I'm not missing any items once I received my missing luggage, on day three.

the flight was smooth and well operated

i am not a big guy but the chair was very uncomfy. entertainment was for chinese mostly the food was horrible. i went through 12 hours with no food the crew cant really speak english

All our luggage was at the end with us, nothing missing

The weather delay was not fault of the airline.

Good service, very pleasant cabin crew and a very smooth 787 flight. Good food.

For a modern plane the seats are very hard on an eleven hour flight Having flown China Southern before on this route I brought along a memory foam seat squab this time! Very impressive is the transit hotel accommodation provided free for transits over eight hours.

Punctual departure, early arrival. Cabin crew was very attentive. Plenty of drinks to keep hydrated. Lots of movie and entertainment choices.

Seat cushioning was worn out...not so comfortable for a long flight. Limited leg room. Unless you were seated at the beginning rows of the food service, there was only one food choice left. Also ran out of snacks for the back rows.

The only positive thing was that the flight was on time.

Cabin crew was largely absent. The seats were small and there was no legroom. The food was mediocre, but edible. Alcoholic drinks were limited to a red wine, a white wine, and beer, none of which were good.The bathrooms were quite dirty, though that is more a reflection of the passengers than of the crew.

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.
