Australia: €2,457 China Southern Business Class Flights from Rome (64 Kg Checked Luggage)

China Southern Airlines brings us this business class deal for travel from Rome to Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane in a lie-flat seat, starting at €2,457. The deal includes 2x32Kg checked luggage, lounge access, and all the other perks of business class. Departures are available from April to June, August to September, and January 2025.

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.

You will travel on both flights on a China Southern Boeing 787-9 with a 1-2-1 business class configuration. For flights to Sydney and Melbourne, you will have a short one-hour layover on the outbound flight and a 6 hour layover in China on the inbound flight.

For Brisbane, you will need an overnight stay to connect to your flight to Australia, but China Southern provides a complimentary hotel. One way to avoid this is to buy an open jaw ticket to Melbourne or Sydney and return from Brisbane (link).

Search & Book

This deal will expire on March 15, 2024. A minimum stay of six days or a Saturday overnight stay, and a maximum stay of three months applies. Available dates are between April to June, August to September, and January 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.

Mileage

This ticket is issued in booking class I. Here are the miles and points you can earn from this deal from Rome to Melbourne:
