Cheap flights from Guangzhou to Riga

May carries the lowest average fares on this route, making it worthwhile to check prices during that month first. Beyond May, the calendar shows availability spanning October through June with differing price levels for each date. The remainder of the year sees fewer scheduled options, so flexibility around those months helps when planning a trip.

Ten carriers appear on this route, mixing low-cost and full-service operators that connect passengers through their respective hubs. China Southern Airlines and Air China operate from Chinese airports while Uzbekistan Airways, Qanot Sharq, and Juneyao Airlines bring Central Asian options into the mix. European and Middle Eastern carriers including Etihad Airways, Thai Airways International, Cathay Pacific, Qatar Airways and China Eastern Airlines round out the selection with connections through their home bases.

Riga Airport serves as the sole entry point for visitors arriving from Guangzhou, positioned roughly ten kilometres outside the city centre. Public buses and trains run between the terminal and downtown areas, while taxis and ride-sharing services provide door-to-door transport across the route.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Verify whether your connections appear on a single ticket or separate reservations since missed transfers require different handling.
• Check baggage allowances carefully because low-cost carriers often charge extra for checked luggage even when economy fares seem competitive.
• Confirm visa requirements for Latvia and any transit countries before booking international flights through multiple jurisdictions.
• Compare arrival times across airlines rather than focusing only on departure times to avoid excessively long layovers at intermediate airports.
