I suppose I’m biased. Maybe misguided.

tip: “In my country, everyone wants to know you as much as you want to know them. A handshake will go a long way to helping that happen.” “Provided the person is facing towards you,” I said. I went on a Morse tour around Oxford. And got caught behind a mile-long tailback of J RR Tolkien fans. At Christ Church College, having taken a detour to avoid Lewis Carroll freaks on an Alice in Wonderland lap of Oxford, I got stuck in a snarlup of Harry Potter enthusiasts. Executing an emergency stop outside Blackwell’s bookshop due to a queue of Civil War nuts, I suffered severe whiplash when I was rearended by the leader of the official C.S. Lewis Narnia tour. I once had to endure a Catherine Cookson tour of Tyne & Wear made by the driver’s opening line: “Good morning everyone. My name’s Malcolm. I hope everybody enjoys today’s tour. If you don’t, my name’s Brian.” promptly delivered it was very bland and uninspiring. Toilets: Well maintained throughout the flight. Luggage: 30kg in Economy. Airport experience: Guangzhou really needs to up its game if it wants to compete for international travellers. There is very little in terms of food and dining options. Menus for the restaurants reinforced stories I had heard of very high prices at the airport. The boarding lounge was in the basement and was dingy, although it did have a busy smoking room. WiFi was not able to be accessed and I was forced to use roaming data. Passengers were bussed to the aircraft, a journey which took an incredible 15 minutes. Guangzhou airport is in the midst of a massive expansion and the airport seemed to go on forever. Would I fly this again? No. Guangzhou airport is unappealing and having the aircraft parked at a very remote place ended up delaying the flight by 40 minutes. China Southern customer service is also only available by phoning China and the employees have a poor grasp of English.
