How to read a China Southern Airlines flight number
Every China Southern Airlines flight number starts with CZ, followed by up to four digits: that is the number on your booking confirmation and boarding pass. In flight plans the same flight carries the ICAO prefix CSN, and controllers address it as "China Southern". One thing to watch: codeshares. A ticket sold by another airline can be operated by China Southern Airlines and vice versa; live tracking follows the operating carrier's number, so if your search comes up empty, check the "operated by" line on your booking.
