Shangri-La is joining with China Southern Airlines in offering passengers a number of outstanding benefits including the opportunity to earn a free stay at any of the group's hotels in mainland China.

"Over the past few years Shangri-La has enjoyed a very successful partnership with China Southern Airlines, one of the biggest carriers in China. At this difficult time it is our shared goal to reward our loyal customers and to show the support for the business community in China," said Mr. Kent Zhu, Shangri-La's Vice President Sales and Marketing, China.

"We are grateful for all of these special benefits available to our Sky Pearl Club members," said Mr. Li Kun, Vice President, China Southern Airlines.
