Baiyun CAN
Cheap flights from Guangzhou Baiyun Airport cover the city's air traffic on their own, because Baiyun is Guangzhou's only airport — every ticket to Manchester, Istanbul, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Munich, London, Copenhagen or Stockholm starts here. Long-haul service to Europe and Turkey shapes the international schedule, and those cities double as connection points for onward travel. Fares move with the season and with how early you book, so compare dates before you settle on one.

Getting to the city
Getting between Baiyun and the city is a proper cross-town run, so treat the hour you land as the thing that decides your transfer. The choice usually comes down to rail, an airport bus or a taxi; settle it before you land rather than in arrivals with your bags. Road transfers slow down in the morning and evening rush, so leave a buffer, and give yourself extra room on the way back if you are booked on an early departure.
