China Southern is considered a good choice by most bloggers and reviewers. The two highest-rated aspects were the seat, rating a great score of 2.57/3, and the IFE, scoring 2.60/3. The lowest scores were the lavatories, at 1.67/3 due to a lack of cleanliness, and the WiFi, at 1.00/3 due to slow speeds. Other scores all hovered around the acceptable/good range of 2.00/3 – 2.20/3. We have a limited number of China Southern business class reviews, and they are of lower detail, so we have lower confidence in these overall scores.
