About China Southern

China Southern Airlines, headquartered in Guangzhou, is a prominent player in the aviation industry and stands as one of the major airlines in China. Established in the early 1980s following the government's decision to split the administration of the civil aviation sector to enhance service and performance, China Southern evolved from a modest beginning to becoming a dominant domestic and international carrier. The airline's growth is marked by its commitment to connecting China with the rest of the world, facilitating not just passenger transport, but also significant cargo operations. China Southern was also a member of the SkyTeam alliance, which further enhanced its connectivity and service offerings through numerous global partnerships until its departure from the alliance. The airline operates a modern and extensive fleet, which is one of the largest in Asia. This comprehensive fleet supports a broad network of routes, encompassing domestic, regional, and international destinations. The variety in its fleet allows China Southern to efficiently manage and schedule flights across short, medium, and long-haul operations, adapting to the varied demands of its diverse customer base. This flexibility aids in maintaining an optimal balance of capacity and frequency in its operations, providing frequent and accessible options for travelers worldwide. The emphasis on fleet advancement also demonstrates the airline's commitment to environmental concerns, as newer aircraft are typically more fuel-efficient and less polluting. On the service front, China Southern takes pride in offering an array of options to enhance passenger comfort and convenience. The airline’s services range from premium cabin accommodations, which offer luxury and comfort for long-haul travelers, to practical and efficient economy class services suited for shorter trips or budget-conscious passengers. Additionally, China Southern extends its hospitality through its ground services, which include streamlined check-in processes, comfortable lounge access, and assistance for passengers needing special accommodations. For regular travelers, the airline provides a frequent flyer program that rewards customer loyalty with benefits such as upgrades, lounge access, and free flights. The carrier’s focus on customer service is evident in its continuous efforts to refine and expand its service offerings to address the evolving needs of passengers in a competitive global market.

Lufthansa

Lufthansa lost my luggage on a flight within Europe. Inconvenient, but mistakes happen. The airport’s lost luggage officer was very helpful and filed a report immediately. A week later an airport officer advised that the bag had turned up and I was able to collect it from the airport. It had a tag on it showing that it had been sent to the wrong airport. So why I am writing this? Well, my issue is that Lufthansa made no attempt to contact me at the time and despite months of trying, no apology or compensation. Lufthansa knew immediately about the loss because the airport had sent them a report and there was a note on the Lufthansa website saying that the loss had been reported. But I was given zero information about whether my luggage was still in transit or lost for good. The website would not issue a tracking number because of the airport report. A few days later, assuming that the baggage would not be returned, I made a compensation claim, for which I simply received a proforma request for more information, without acknowledging that they already knew where the bag was. Months later, still with nothing from Lufthansa, my travel agent advised me to lodge a feedback form. Once again, nothing happened. When the agent followed up, Lufthansa’s offered only platitudes, implying that reporting of the luggage loss and the problems with their tracking and contact system were my fault. They still have never acknowledged that they knew of the loss, let alone acknowledge that I am out of pocket. Months later, they are even asking for proof of the airport’s lost luggage report, even though they were advised on the day of the flight and they eventually found the luggage and forwarded it. I have no complaints about the cabin staff or on-board meals. But their customer relations are appalling.
