China Southern Airlines in a nutshell

The world's sixth largest airline and Asia's largest is headquartered in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou near the Hong Kong border, but has smaller bases in many Chinese cities. With several routes to Europe or Australia, it can also be an interesting alternative for travellers from the Czech Republic or Slovakia.

Hi, I'm trying to buy tickets from China Southern. But it requires some kind of registration where it sends a code either by sms or email. It doesn't accept the Czech number at all and I've tried 3 different emails - unless it throws an error that the code can't be sent at the moment (like 5:1 clicks), the code still doesn't arrive. Isn't there a trick for this? For example, an email provider to which the code will arrive successfully?

Their website is terrible, put it in skyscanner and buy elsewhere.
Their website is terrible. No point wasting time with them, buy elsewhere.
This is typical of Chinese airlines. I buy through SA, for example.
SA won't find those flights. Skyscanner offers Gotogate, Mytrip, Booking, Trip and Opodo. The prices are similar, the question is what is the lesser of two evils?

Booking is ok.
I thought booking was the same as Gotogate? There were a lot of drive warnings against them
It is.
What about letuska.cz (asiana s.r.o.)? You can find it there. Do they have reasonable support?
Hi, has anyone made an online transit hotel reservation in Guangzhou recently? I can't click anywhere to do it, or it throws up a broken page.
Or is it currently only available at the airport in person at the counter?
Hello, please have you found any info about the transit hotel? It keeps throwing me an error after trying for hours. We are travelling with my young son and I would hate to spend 13 hours at the airport 😀 Thank you
