Guangzhou is served mainly by Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN), the city’s major international and regional hub that handles most full-service carriers and many long-haul flights, while the older Foshan/Shunde fields see more low-cost and regional traffic. Baiyun sits about 28–30 km north of the downtown district; airport express trains and frequent metro connections typically take around 30–40 minutes to central Guangzhou, with fares usually in the low single-digit to low double-digit CNY range depending on service. Taxis and ride-hailing are common and can be quicker but cost more, especially during peak hours. Pros: modern terminals, extensive international connections and plentiful amenities; cons: can be busy at peak times and transfers to some suburbs involve longer travel.

Dubai is served primarily by Dubai International (DXB) and the newer Al Maktoum International at Dubai World Central (DWC). DXB functions as a major international hub, handling many full-service carriers—Emirates, flydubai and numerous global airlines—and can be perceived as mid-to-premium in price and service. It lies about 10–15 km from Dubai’s downtown and is connected by the Dubai Metro (Red Line, roughly 15–25 minutes to key areas), taxis (20–40 minutes depending on traffic) and airport buses; fares typically range from modest metro fees up to moderate taxi fares. Pros: extensive amenities, many flight options and fast connections; cons: can be busy and lines may be long. DWC, positioned further out at roughly 35–60 km from central Dubai, is often used by low-cost and charter carriers and can offer cheaper fares for some routes. Ground options include regional buses, taxis and dedicated shuttle services with journey times usually 40–75 minutes and fares varying by service. Pros: newer facilities and less congestion; cons: longer transfers to the city and fewer public transport links.
