Abu Dhabi International Airport (AUH) functions as the emirate’s main international gateway and a regional premium hub, handling long-haul carriers alongside Etihad Airways’ network. It’s located about 30–35 km from the city center, with road transfers typically taking 30–45 minutes depending on traffic; taxis and ride-hailing are common (fares usually moderate to premium), while an express bus service offers a budget option with longer journey times. For travelers on tighter budgets, nearby smaller airports aren’t prominent, so many low-cost carriers use AUH or nearby Dubai airports. Pros: modern terminals, extensive amenities and good long-haul connectivity. Cons: transfer times and taxi costs can be higher than for very central airports.

In different months, ticket prices from Abu Dhabi to Guangzhou vary: minimum — $198 (October 2025), maximum — $291 (January 2026). Typically, the flight costs $252–$263.

Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN) is the city’s main international gateway and a major southern China hub, handling a wide mix of full-service carriers and large regional airlines. It typically offers a broad range of long-haul and domestic connections and can be priced mid‑range to premium depending on season. The airport sits about 28–35 km north of downtown Guangzhou; travelers usually reach the city by metro Line 3 (about 30–45 minutes), airport express buses (45–70 minutes, fares vary by route), taxis or ride‑hailing (roughly 40–60 minutes, fares depending on traffic). Pros: modern terminals, many dining and lounge options, frequent services; cons: can be busy at peak times and transfer between terminals may add time. Foshan Shadi Airport (FUO) and other nearby regional fields can serve the Pearl River Delta as secondary options, often handling short‑haul or low‑cost operators and positioning themselves as budget‑oriented alternatives to CAN. These airports are closer to certain western suburbs and can offer lower fares on some domestic routes, though options and frequencies are usually more limited. Travel times to central Guangzhou vary—expect 40–70 minutes by road depending on origin—and public transport links can be sparser than the main international airport. Pros: can be cheaper and less crowded; cons: fewer international connections and less public transport convenience compared with Baiyun.
