Tried to check-in today on-line with China Southern Airlines < 
http://www.csair.com/au/en/ >. I was presented with a verification code 
displayed with Flash. All I could see were faint random lines, no text 
and kept getting "Validation code is incorrect". when I switched from 
the Firefox web browser and to Google Chromium a verification code appeared.

This got me a few steps in the process but I still could not check-in as 
the CSA system then sends a code to my mobile phone, but assumes I have 
a Chinese phone, so the code never arrives.

Perhaps if I was using a smart phone in China, with lots of broadband, 
this would be quick and easy, but in Australia on a slow connection to a 
laptop it does not work.
