Cheap flights to Guangzhou
Cheap flights to Guangzhou land at Baiyun International Airport, the gateway to a city of traders, tea houses and riverfront towers. People fly in for the trade fairs, for family, or to eat their way through Cantonese cooking. Seats tighten around the Spring Festival and the autumn trade season, when fares climb and the good connections go first.
Flights to Guangzhou — where from
Airports — Guangzhou
Baiyun International Airport sits north of the city and handles every arrival into Guangzhou. Terminals connect to the centre by metro, airport buses and taxis, and the metro is the usual pick when the roads are heavy. Give yourself extra time if you land in the evening peak. Trains and coaches from elsewhere in China pull into the main railway stations, while airport buses run to the downtown hotel districts.
When to go
Guangzhou stays warm and humid for most of the year, with a sticky, wet summer and a milder, drier winter that many visitors prefer. The busiest spells are the Spring Festival travel rush and the trade fair seasons in spring and autumn, when rooms and seats both tighten. The national holiday week in October fills flights too. For quieter airports and softer fares, aim for the weeks between those peaks.
