Cheap Flights from Dubai to Guangzhou Starting at $166

Dubai is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Dubai International (DXB) is the city’s major international hub, handling most long-haul and premium carriers such as Emirates and many full-service airlines; it’s typically viewed as mid-to-upper range in fares. Located about 10–15 km from downtown, DXB is usually a 15–25 minute drive depending on traffic; metro, taxis and airport shuttles are common options with fares ranging from modest metro fares to mid-priced taxi rides. Al Maktoum International (DWC), farther south near Jebel Ali, is often used for cargo and low-cost or charter operations and can be cheaper on budget routes; it’s roughly 30–50 km from central Dubai and may require 40–60 minutes by car or a longer shuttle transfer. Pros: DXB offers extensive connections and plentiful ground transport; DWC can be quieter and cheaper on some routes. Cons: DXB can be busy and crowded at peak times, while DWC’s distance may add travel time and transfer complexity.

Fly direct from Dubai to Guangzhou for the quickest, most convenient way to bridge the UAE and southern China—perfect for business trips or fast city getaways. While connecting options can sometimes be cheaper, a nonstop flight saves hours, reduces hassle and makes your journey far more comfortable, so consider booking direct for the best time-saving value.

Guangzhou is served primarily by Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN), a major international hub that handles long-haul and regional traffic alongside sizable domestic flows; it’s commonly used by full-service carriers such as China Southern and many global airlines, while budget carriers also operate from the airport. Located about 28–30 km north of downtown Huacheng Square, travel to the city center typically takes 30–60 minutes by metro or 40–70 minutes by taxi depending on traffic; metro fares are usually modest and taxis can be moderate to higher during peak periods. The airport’s strengths are good international connectivity and frequent ground links, whereas congestion and longer transfers between terminals can be downsides for tight connections.
