First I've seen mineral water in a shower room
Evian at that! The toiletries and other supplies were good.

Thanks for this they've definitely improvedAnd that's my TR!
I was impressed with China Southern Airlines Business Class and would not hesitate flying with them again.
Guangzhou airport, China Southern's main hub, although massive, is modern and efficient with good lounges.
I really did enjoy Kunming.
Was there something that inspired you to visit Kunming in particular?
This glaring prejudice amazes me. I am a Dinki Di Aussie and regularly visit China. it’s great! Safe, secure, and amazing infrastructure, food, people, and culture. Get over your prejudice !!I have to admit that I avoid Chinese airlines, well, because they are Chinese, and I would have to negotiate a transfer in, well, China.
That's not to say I haven't done it in the past, but it can be a huge pain.
So, I don't bother with them, even though they can have some quite attractive fares. But YMMV.
Excellent report, Austman ... and great to see another Aussie happily spending some time in China and flying Chinese Airlines, of which Southern probably shines over the others.And that's my TR!

Crew are delightful. Food is plentiful. Cabins are comfortable. Amenities are good. I forgot to mention that when taking meal orders before take-off they always ask "if you are asleep when we serve the meal, may we wake you?".

Safe? Well, I transit via China in 2018 and 2019, but I would no longer, because I had gone to protests in Australia against Hong Kong government, and we know that Chinese and Hong Kong spies take photos of people like me and will deal with us later.This glaring prejudice amazes me.
