Had to take a shuttle bus from boarding gate to the plane and climb steps to the plane. I already knew 737-Max 8 was a small plane with only two toilets at the back for the entire economy cabin. If you sit among the last 5-6 rows closer to the toilet you will have passengers standing at the single aisle queuing to go toilet next to you as there could be more than 5-6 of them waiting at each time especially after meals. That said the crew was prompt to ensure the toilets were checked and in good order at intervals and they remained clean for use. The plane ride took close to 6 hours rather than 6.5h and despite taking off late some 25 minutes we arrived ahead of the scheduled time due to a shorter flight duration. In-Flight was challenging due to narrow aisle and quite slow. Food for breakfast was served rather late and a bit of rice grains were not fully cooked. good variety of juices and fruits + yogurt served. Flight was smooth.
Poor boarding and unboarding proceas. Multiple errors made by Singapore Airlines throughout the check in process.
I paid extra for assigned seating. When I checked in my seat had been changed to middle seat middle aisle. There was a reason I paid for an aisle seat. I did not sleep the entire 14 hour flight, preceded by a five hour flight from Kathmandu to Singapore. When I arrived in San Francisco, I had gone 40 hours without sleep. My immune system was compromised and I caught RSV flu. These days I hate flying!
I purchased my two tickets on February 2025. Tickets were by each other, aisle and window. However, when we were boarded the assigned seats were one by the window and the other one in the middle of the four seated row. It was a horrible experience and we had to tolerate 17 hours of flight seating by different people. If the airline changes the seat arrangement, it should have the decency to notify the passengers in advance. I have checked my return tickets to Los Angeles, and I have noticed that they are not by each other and I don’t know what to do. I hope someone contacts me and rectify this mistake.
It was all good. Lovely attention by the crew. I lost my glasses but they did everything and eventually found them. They clean the toilets regularly which is a big plus for me.
On schedule, courteous, and efficient. Old aircraft with not so nice lavatories.
The A350 3-3-3 configuration is cramped and uncomfortable. The seats dig in to the contact points with your body. The aisles are now too narrow for passengers and crew to pass with ease. I was in an seat but the passenger in front was laid back for the majority of the flight meaning I had to do the same. There was a kid in the seat next to me who wriggled all night which kept waking me up. If fact there were too many kids on board - why weren't they at school? Babies crying too. It was like a Kindergarten. Singapore Airlines in barely getting above Jetstar these days. It seems to have gone downhill since merging with Air India, The evening meal of fish and noodles was average. the morning breakfast of a pie was poor. At least the alcohol flow kept some sanity. The film choice was good, but I'd already seen the good stuff on the way out. The crew are still amazing and the service set the airline apart. A shame about the packed plane with inconsiderate passengers.
Food was excellent.. better if there are more movies selection.
Had picked seats while booking tickets but airlines reshuffled the seats without informing and we were again left with the worst possible seats on the return journey. terrible experience.
Service was very good, food and entertainment systems were good
transit accommodation. if you dont travel with partner , it would seem fairer to only charge half the room cost to make up the difference.
Excellent staff excellent service! The staff was very good at providing beverages and food throughout the flight. I had a sore throat and they gave me a lot of hot tea, which I really appreciate. I had a problem with my screen where the movie kept restarting. Overall, a great flight and I like China Southern Airlines
The barcode on the boarding pass could be made for everyone not just the wechat user.
It was good. Just a very long stay over in China to get the second leg to London
We were taking the flight MU 8649 from Shanghai to Osaka and the original boarding gate was 20 and we didn’t receive any notification or broadcast about gate changes, and by the time we missed the original boarding time we check thr electric board and realized the gate was changed to 208 Also the flight was delayed by almost an hour and the crew member didn’t provide any explanation, after we finally boarded the aircraft was very hot, the crew member told me the air conditioning was not working and tried to calm passages down by offering iced water, all of us sat in the aircraft for another 40 mins before it finally took off
Poor seats. Not helpful crew. The food was awful.overall very very bad experience. Traveled with the family of 5
did not get a notification about seat selection ahead of time. We didn't end up sitting together.
In my return flight they couldn’t identify my ticket or boarding pass, I had to go to 3 different counters until I was able to get my boarding pass. The food was on, it was the bear minimum. They didn’t even recognise that I was a Muslim and can’t eat meat, chicken or pork. In one of the trays I believe they served me pork. The staff were very pleasant, but they need to be aware of their surroundings more carefully, one of them stuck her lower belly right into my face! I was shocked and very uncomfortable.
Overall I had good experience with China Southern airline. Nothing to claim. I hoped they could improve the meal quality that is.
It was great. The staff were so nice and helpful the food was great and they always made sure I was okay. As a foreigner I was worried about the language barrier but it was absolutely no issues. I highly recommend
