      Or overcapacity.

      • jv on 02/04/2025 - 17:21

        So they've increased the number of flights?

        • t25 on 02/04/2025 - 18:15

          Possible. I'm no aviation specialist and don't claim to have the answers.

    Remarkable price really. Prices listed are comparable to a basic Perth to Melbourne or Sydney return fare on Jetstar…

      • jv on 02/04/2025 - 17:23

        Does that include "2x 23kg checked luggage, meals and entertainment"

        • revelationx on 03/04/2025 - 12:57

          i just few china southern. and yes, its 2x23kg. so total 46kg.

      I assume China subsidises the flights like they do everything with some broader economic or political impact.

      Your checked in luggage , and return sector will end up in trouble.

      • tarulov3 on 02/04/2025 - 19:31

        I have a flight to Kunming with a stop over in Guangzhou with China Southern. I picked a flight with a very long layover so I can explore Guangzhou. Would you or anyone know whether my checked baggage will go straight to Kunming or will i need to check out and in for the final leg? I would prefer it goes to Kunming.

        Also getting onto flight to Kunming, i would go to the domestic terminal 3 hours early as if it was an international flight? Thanks in advance for help, will make planning with kids easier!

        • mrhorse on 02/04/2025 - 20:11

          1. It's quite flexible actually if it's just an overnight layover. At the counter, you can ask to have your checkin luggage go straight to KMG. Your luggage will be laying over at the CAN airport and board the same flight to KMG as you do.
            You can ask for a free hotel room as well with free shuttle bus sending you to and picking you up from the hotel.

          2. Your connecting flight is deemed domestic. For domestic flights in China, 2 hrs in advance would be ideal. As you have got your luggages checked in already, you just need to follow the steps below:
            Explosive check (2min) > Security check (10-20min, incl. queuing). With kids, probably expect it to be slightly longer.
            Boarding gate usually opens 40min prior to departure.

        • foodsnob on 02/04/2025 - 21:48

          my experience with a layover at CAN is you need to pick up your checked baggage if your layover is greater than 24 hours. If you do a tour, transfer hotel or otherwise, might be different.

    • ATangk on 02/04/2025 - 16:48

      Way to get your return flights cancelled.

      Just spend a day in Shanghai or something.

      • Richardc on 02/04/2025 - 17:10

        The airport in Shanghai should be enough for you to spend a day

    • sauce2k on 02/04/2025 - 18:01

      You can, just need to buy another return ticket and explain to authorities why you done a dodgy move when getting back your luggage 😂

    • BingBean on 02/04/2025 - 18:29

      that'll give airlines an excuse to cancel your flight because it's not actually allowed…

    Beijing would be my pick. More tourist hotspots around there. Shanghai is ok for just food and shopping though. Guangzhou is a decent gateway to southern China and perhaps even crossing the border to other countries or HK

    • flagger on 02/04/2025 - 18:17

      Agreed, been to Beijing and was super surprised how good it is for tourists. The great wall is so different to how I imagined it to be, and public transport was very good.

      If you wear glasses - head to Shanghai international glasses mall - you'll pay for your trip in the savings.

        Sun glasses?

        • factor on 03/04/2025 - 17:26

          Prescription glasses of any type - multi-focal, bi-focal, polarised sunnies, etc.

          About 70% of the world's prescription lenses get manufactured in one city not far from Shanghai. I'm more concerned about the quality I'm receiving in Australia!

          The cheapest I've paid is $30 for standard prescription lenses with frames, eye test included, and manufactured for me in under 15 minutes. Multi-focals will require 1-2 days turnaround.

      • dwarves on 02/04/2025 - 19:59

    This seems like a bit of a bait and switch. Tried booking twice, once through Gotogate and again through Mytrip.

    Once all my details are entered, I attempt payment via PayPal, only to be told “Your flight has increased by $742… This is due to high demand for your flight. Please confirm your acceptance to proceed.”

    Funds have been withdrawn (twice), but in my PayPal it says pending authorization, so I suspect I should get a refund in the next few days (hopefully).

    Has anyone been able to purchase flights successfully? I wonder if this is due to payments via PayPal.

        after flying 4 flights with them the last week (syd-guangzhou-beijing-guangzhou-syd).

        i have to say they are pretty good. service of the staff is better than the general qantas flights. (even at checkin counters).

        flights are all on time.
        seats are ok.
        inflight entertainment is quite limited. similar on almost all flights.

        food is pretty good. the food differs depending which way you're flying.

        flying towards china (you get more asian based food)
        flying back to aus (you get more aussie food)

        i personally feel if there is anything under $600 for these routes, it would be a very obvious decision.

      Agreed. Flew China Southern last week and they are a full-service airline, good food, drinks, very attentive attendants. The planes we caught were fairly new 787-9s, clean and comfortable. Stacks of movies in English and Chinese to watch. I've flown many airlines over the years and really think CS aren't too far off the pace of Singapore Air.
