CHINA SOUTHERN AIRLINES BUSINESS CLASS SEAT REVIEW   :   AIRBUS A330-200

Great seats! Flatten out all the way. Plane seemed new and was very clean. Have never slept so well in Business Class.

CHINA SOUTHERN AIRLINES FIRST CLASS SEAT REVIEW   :   AIRBUS A330-200

Newish A330 from CDG to Guangzhou. Only 4 seats in the First class cabin, fulll flat beds. Had a window seat and very comfortable in both seated and sleeping modes. Feet area in flat bed is a little tight if you are tall. They lay with a nice mattress cover and offer a great duvet and pillow. Large IFE screen and surprisingly good choice of movies. Staff service was great. Only slight niggle is that the seat adjustments in the sitting position are not the best. Privacy is quite good for a non-suite seat.

CHINA SOUTHERN AIRLINES BUSINESS CLASS SEAT REVIEW   :   AIRBUS A330-200

Great seat on a brand new airplane. Only flew Guangzhou to Beijing - wish I was on this plane all the way to San Francisco. Lie-flat seats, good entertainment and excellent service. The bathrooms even have (fake) wood paneling.

Great flat bed type of seat on my trip Paris to Guangzhou. Laid out 2x2x2 in the cabin, these are quite small and feel private cabins on the A330. A comfortable sleep, nice forward facing seats and charming service from FA's. They seem to be on the up and up compared to flights I took with China Southern in 2009.

The seats were old recliners and, whilst fine for sitting, are awful for sleeping. A real throwback to 10 years ago or more. Various sites and reviews show the new flat seats but check before you book. Service and food were fine. IFE was limited but OK.

A small and intimate First Class cabin with just 4 seats. Whilst not offering the privacy of the suites on Singapore Airlines, this is an excellent seat that is not too overindulgent. The flatbed is as comfortable as a suite and bedding provided is excellent. Large PTV monitor is great but lacks western programming. One annoyance was that the staff laid up a small bar area at the front of the cabin and the bottles constantly rattled during turbulence.

SYD-CAN on brand new A330. It is a well thought out and comfortable seat for long haul travel. The flatbed is very comfortable and the space and privacy is as good as many other airlines.

The seats were great in sitting position. But it is almost impossible to sleep on them. They were not lie flat and they were angled in such a way that your back hurts. The worst part of the service was the food.
