China Southern Airlines is poised to take to the skies with a history-making flight!

This epic journey, featuring a convenient layover in Tijuana, will take its inaugural flight on April 17th. But the excitement doesn’t stop there! Get ready to set a travel rhythm, because from April 22nd to October 26th, you’ll be able to embark on this adventure twice a week, every Monday and Thursday. China Southern Airlines has pulled out all the stops for passenger comfort, offering a choice of either a Boeing 787-9 or A350 aircraft for this marathon trek across the globe.
Prepare to be awestruck by the sheer distance of this route. Spanning a staggering 14,147 kilometers (8,790 miles) along the great circle, it eclipses the previous record holder – the Guangzhou to New York route – by a significant margin.
