Travel Guides & Tips in this video

Bali to Guangzhou on the A321neo

Nonstop Dan's China Southern business-class journey begins with check-in in Bali. He recalls a stressful departure from Bali in 2020 and contrasts it with the more polished start to this trip. On the Airbus A321neo, cabin crew provide attentive service. Rebecca stands out for her care, including help with a vegetarian meal despite limitations in pre-ordering. The cabin has staggered Thompson Vantage XL seats, and the row numbering is unusual. Dan finds the seat comfortable but recommends downloading entertainment before boarding because there are no individual screens on this part of the trip.

The crew's service includes pre-departure drinks, hot towels and landing candy. Dan describes the experience as unusually attentive and compares the service favorably with first-class flights on other airlines. He also shares practical advice: in the staggered seat layout, odd-numbered rows sit closer to the window. The in-flight meal and the crew's response to requests are part of his review.

Guangzhou airport and the second flight

After landing, Dan notes the scale of Guangzhou. He points out water fountains and free nurseries in the airport, amenities he says are often absent elsewhere. The connection involves a health check and security. The China Southern business lounge impresses him with fresh hot food, comfortable seating, massage chairs and a souvenir shop. It gives him a place to rest before the next flight.

The onward leg uses a Boeing 787-9. Tina provides attentive service, continuing the positive impression from the first flight. Dan looks at the Thompson Vantage XL seat and appreciates its comfort and privacy compared with economy. He also praises the selection of Western films available through the in-flight entertainment system on this aircraft. His experience therefore differs between aircraft: he advises downloading entertainment for the A321neo, while he finds a large film selection on the 787-9.

Practical notes from the journey

Dan recommends an S eSIM for low-cost, immediate mobile data in China and more than 180 destinations, and says it bypasses the Great Firewall. He also advises pressing the crew-call button continuously if feeling unwell so the flight attendants are alerted promptly. For travel rewards, he mentions his Points Master program for people interested in using airline points for first- or business-class fares.

The review combines the two flights, the connection at Guangzhou and Dan's opinions on service, seats, food and entertainment. The Airbus A321neo leg features a seat without a personal screen, while the Boeing 787-9 has a large film selection. The airport lounge and attentive crew become as important to the journey as the seat itself.
