WIFI OFFERED ON TRANS-OCEANIC ROUTES跨洋航线推出空中互联网服务

From now on, travellers flying with China Southern between Guangzhou and Sydney (flight NO. CZ301/302) will have the opportunity to experience in-flight Internet. This is the first time China Southern has offered its WiFi service onboard an international flight after it successfully rolled out the service on some flights between Beijing and Guangzhou last year. This makes China Southern the first international carrier to offer in-flight Internet access to customers travelling between China and Australia. The new service will be offered on a trial basis with each flight offering a certain number of passengers the opportunity to use the service free of charge.

CZ301/302 ticket holders who are interested in the in-flight WiFi service can apply for it on the application page of China Southern's official website. Once the aircraft is in the cruise mode, passengers only need to open the browser on their networking hardware and enter their seat number and the last four characters of their personal identification number to log in.
