Cheap flights from Guangzhou to Amsterdam

Booking a few months ahead usually pays off, and October is the cheapest month on this route, while the calendar covers November through October. Expect higher fares around Christmas, Chinese New Year and Dutch school holidays, when demand on long routes spikes. If your dates are flexible, shifting a day midweek often lowers the fare, and the months shoulder-to-shoulder with the expensive ones tend to be the calmest.

China Southing Airlines... China Southern Airlines is the carrier most travellers will encounter first, since it is based in Guangzhou at Baiyun and connects to the Netherlands through its own network. The other names on this route split between full-service long-haul and leaner operators, including Etihad Airways, Saudi Arabian Airlines, Air Serbia, Eva Air, 9Air, Cathay Pacific, Kenya Airways, Spring Airlines and Bangkok Airways. The difference shows up in what the fare covers, mainly checked baggage and meals, so a low-cost or lighter fare may price out once bags are added.

You land at Amsterdam Schiphol, which sits close enough to the city centre that the transfer is rarely the hard part of the journey. Trains leave from below the terminal and cover most of the distance in under half an hour, with taxis and buses as the usual alternatives. Since the itinerary includes a connection, leave room between the inbound leg and any onward arrangement, and remember that a late arrival on a separate ticket puts the whole onward booking onto you to rearrange.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether checked baggage is included, because lighter fares on this route often charge separately for bags and seat choice.
• Confirm the connection details: one ticket protects your transfer, but separate tickets leave the risk of a missed stopover to you.
• You depart from Baiyun only, so pick the right station if you are heading to the airport from the city.
• Check Dutch entry and transit-visa rules, including whether a stopover country requires documentation of its own.
• Compare fares month by month, with October typically the cheapest window on this route.
