I’ve posted extensively about China Southern’s new Airbus 380s, which will be operating the Los Angeles to Guangzhou route as of October 12. Reader Pablo was kind enough to share some photos from his flight on the China Southern Airbus 380 between Guangzhou and Beijing. While we’ve already seen some images on China Southern’s website, professional photos promoting the product can often be a bit misleading. So that’s where Pablo’s photos come in handy, which are extremely high qualify though also “candid:”

This looks like a really solid product, and I hope to try both cabins before the year is up.
As a reminder, you can redeem Korean Air SkyPass miles for China Southern Deluxe First class, at the cost of 160,000 miles for a roundtrip (and you can transfer Ultimate Rewards points to Korean Air SkyPass). China Southern’s “First Class” is actually business class, so you can most efficiently redeem Delta SkyMiles for a roundtrip in business class for just 120,000 miles. In both cases award availability is wide open.
