    I heared you have to self-transfer the luggage in HAK, is that true?

      Nope, travelled from Syd to Beijing and back in 2023.

      Dec 2023 -
      MEL-HAK-PEK, my luggages were checked through.
      PEK-HAK-MEL, had to re-check my luggages in HAK.

      It was a hit and miss.

      I took CSAir most and they always check my luggages through to final destination (as CAN/ZGGG got the facility to support this).

      • jeppetto367 on 04/02/2025 - 12:51

        On a side note I find it very interesting that you've referred to CAN by it's ICAO name of ZGGG, but then called China Southern CSAir rather than CZ.

        • xmagic on 04/02/2025 - 13:01

          I meant CSAir = China Southern Airlines (also their website domain name - csair.com).

          They wanted to have CS but Cambrian Airways called the dibs, even if that airline doesn't exist anymore.

          CAN is indeed CZ's hub airport but technically they don't own the airport.

      When travelling to China, it's all done automatically by them.

      When travelling out of China through HAK it's incredible troublesome. You need to pick up your luggage, go out and recheck luggage again for international departure flight and need go through security screening / customs from scratch (long wait 30 mins - 1 hour).

      I'm guessing they need to rescan your luggage to meet international flight requirements.

      On another note the domestic departure Hainan airline lounge at HAK airport was really nice and has unlimited coconut drink, good lounge waiting environment and they can you out for your flight and they can cook basic Chinese meals for you which is nice.

      The cheapo priority pass international lounges pretty mediocre.

      Hope this helps.

    Is this budget airline? How is it compared to others

        They don't seem to have any reviews. Are they based on actual customer experiences ?

        • Fat Horny Ghost on 04/02/2025 - 14:51

          I put my actual customer experience below comments.

          It's actually not good based on 4 flights with them. Inflight entertainment system is shit, outdated and was broken for all the flights I was in.

          My advice is to avoid Hainan Airlines unless you don't mind the scoot level experience and long wait lines at a low-tier airport facility. They had very little air bridges as well even for their own province airline so needed to use stairs / walk on tarmac.

    Hainan is a sister city to Oulu in Finland !!!

    Shit slot, you will arrive Haikou at 3.30AM. Unfortunately the customs office is closed, and the airline counter is not open. No aircon, the humidity is high, and the perceived temperature is at least 30 to 40 degrees.

    • Thrawn on 04/02/2025 - 13:27

      Not making sense there… of course arrivals customs is open on arrival. Are you suggesting a whole plane load of passengers can't leave the airport on arrival.

      • ZeroEclipse on 04/02/2025 - 14:26

        You can leave, but if your destination is Beijing, you have to wait for customs to check your luggage.

    • ClintonL on 04/02/2025 - 14:23

      Actually no aircon at the airport?

      • ZeroEclipse on 04/02/2025 - 14:27

        They turn off aircon during night although it's still warm.

    Personally would avoid Hainan Airlines. No idea how they got their 5 star rating. I'd consider it a 3-4 star similar level and almost similar level and experience with Scoot.

    At this price it's cheap and no brainer if you don't mind scoot level flights and long transfers and wait lines in HAK. If you got Chinese passport you can go the faster que so not an issue wait lines from customs, exiting and transfers.

    Arrived to Haikou last year. There is a terrible long line to get through customs and no transfer facilities to domestic (took us 1 hour to 90 mins just to get through customs) and then need to go out of the airport and back into domestic. Luggage all auto transferred.

    Leaving through Haikou was terrible too. No transfer facilities. We had to pick up luggage from our domestic flight, essentially leave the airport and recheck back for international flight. 30 mins - 1 hour wait for security screening and customs.

    My second advice is to avoid transferring HAK. It's cheap for a reason as it's like a third world country tier airport. Transfer through Singapore, Shanghai or Guangzhou which are top tier, quick and nicer. Guangzhou airport even gave some travel tourist vouchers including transportation for the longer layover (worth roughly about $150). But Changi Airport in Singapore is world class and has everything.

    The only thing I liked was domestic departure lounge for Hainan Airlines (free with Priority pass).

    The planes were old, run down and media remotes were not working in the extra legroom seats. Really needs a good update. We paid $180 each extra for HAK to SYD for extra legroom exit row seats.

    Had issues with the remotes and headphones not working for the media entertainment system. Flight attendant only offered us downgrade to no extra legroom seats even though we paid extra.

    I sent complaint to their customer service through afterwards. Received 1 follow up to say they looking into the matter and later found out they've blocked my email address when I tried to follow up my email.

    China Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines were much better and avoided HAK. Media entertainment system was not as outdated but functioned. Service about the same.

  • BluebirdV on 04/02/2025 - 14:27

    Are they more comfortable than Cebu Pacific and Jetstar? Is there a cheap flight to/from the Philippines to go this way? Is it possible to transit on a Philippines passport? Can you get off in Haikou from Manila and transfer to Melbourne or Sydney instead of going to Beijing?

      omg, if you have this many questions you should go and see a travel agent.
