Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates at the lowest price for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to Skyscanner with your selected flight dates. From there, you can proceed to China Southern or check what OTAs have to offer:
First, you will fly from Amsterdam to Guangzhou or Beijing on a China Southern Airbus A350 with a 3-3-3 cabin configuration. You will then continue to your destination in China or Southeast Asia, where the majority of the flights will be operated with Boeing 737 MAX or Airbus A320 aircraft, featuring a 3-3 cabin configuration.
Until December 2025, citizens of 33 countries in Europe may enter China for 30 days without applying for a visa. The Netherlands are among these countries.

This deal will expire on January 12, 2025. A minimum stay of six days or a Saturday overnight stay, and a maximum stay of three months apply. Departures are available between January to May 2025.
You can find suitable dates using our calendar above or with the help of Google Flights. We recommend booking directly on China Southern’s website, but you can find cheaper prices with Skyscanner. However, booking on OTAs has its downsides.
Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?
More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:
Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.
If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.
This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.
Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.
This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.
