Guangzhou is served primarily by Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN), a major international hub handling long-haul and regional flights and a focus city for several Chinese carriers. It typically hosts a mix of full-service and low-cost airlines, so fares can vary from budget-friendly to premium depending on carrier and schedule. Baiyun sits about 28–35 km north of downtown; the metro line and airport express usually take around 30–40 minutes to the city center, while taxis or rideshares can take 40–60 minutes depending on traffic, with fares typically ranging from modest fixed rates to higher metered totals. Pros: extensive route network and modern facilities; cons: can be crowded at peak times and travel times to central districts are subject to heavy traffic.
Irkutsk International Airport (IKT) serves as the main gateway to Irkutsk and nearby Lake Baikal, acting as a regional international hub for Siberia rather than a large global transit center. It typically handles a mix of full-service carriers and domestic budget airlines, so fares can range from economical to mid-tier depending on season and route. The airport sits about 9–10 km (roughly 20–30 minutes) from the city center; options include fixed-route minibuses and taxis, with shared shuttle or private rides usually taking 25–40 minutes and costing more than public transfers. Pros: relatively compact terminal, direct seasonal international flights; cons: limited late-night services and fewer high-frequency long-haul connections compared with major hubs.
