Cheap Flights from Barnaul to Guangzhou Starting at $287

Barnaul Airport (BAX) serves as the main regional gateway in Altai Krai rather than a large international hub, handling mostly domestic and a few seasonal international flights. You’ll typically find Russian carriers and low-cost regional airlines operating scheduled services to Moscow, Novosibirsk and nearby cities, with fares often seen as competitive for the region. The airport lies about 17–20 km northeast of Barnaul city centre; travel options include taxis (roughly 20–35 minutes depending on traffic) and shared minibuses or local buses (around 30–50 minutes), with taxi fares relatively modest and bus fares very low. Pros: compact and easy to navigate with quick check-ins; cons: limited dining and shopping choices and fewer direct international connections compared with larger hubs.

Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN) is the city’s main international gateway and a major southern China hub, serving full-service carriers like China Southern and many international airlines as well as a number of low-cost and regional operators. Located roughly 28–35 km north of downtown Guangzhou, it’s usually a 30–60 minute drive depending on traffic. Transport options include the airport metro line (around 35–45 minutes to central Guangzhou), airport express buses (40–70 minutes, modest fares), and taxis or app rides (higher cost, faster in off-peak). Pros: extensive international connections, modern terminals and plentiful services; cons: can be busy at peak times and transfer walks may be long. Guangzhou Shijiao (Foshan Shadi) and other nearby secondary airfields typically handle regional, general aviation or low-cost flights rather than major international services. These smaller airports can be closer to some suburban districts — often within 20–40 km of central Guangzhou — and may offer quicker check-in and shorter walking distances through compact terminals. Ground links are more limited than at Baiyun, with local buses, taxis and occasional shuttle services providing access; travel times and fares vary with location. Pros: potentially lower crowds and faster processing; cons: fewer long-haul routes, limited public-transport connectivity and fewer passenger amenities.

The minimum one-way ticket price from Barnaul to Guangzhou is $332 (January 2026), while the maximum is $333 (November 2025). On average, a ticket costs $332–$333.
