Guangzhou is served primarily by Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN), the city’s major international hub handling long-haul, regional and domestic flights and a base for full-service carriers as well as many Chinese airlines. Located about 28–35 km north of downtown Guangzhou, transit to the city center usually takes 35–60 minutes by car depending on traffic and around 35–45 minutes by metro Line 3 with fares typically in the low single-digit CNY range. Airport express buses and taxis are common alternatives; buses can be slower but cheaper for budget travelers. Pros: modern terminal facilities and extensive route options; cons: distance from central districts and potential peak-hour congestion.

Kuala Lumpur is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA/KLIA2) is the country’s primary international hub used by full-service carriers and low-cost airlines alike; KLIA2 specifically caters to budget operators and can often be perceived as more affordable. It sits roughly 45–60 km south of the city center, with express trains taking about 28–35 minutes to KL Sentral (fares typically in the mid-range for airport rail), taxis or e-hailing trips ranging 40–60 minutes depending on traffic (metered fares or fixed airport rates apply). Pros: modern facilities and wide flight choice; cons: longer transfer time to central Kuala Lumpur. Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (Subang) functioned historically as the city’s main airport and now handles a mix of turboprops, regional, and some business flights; it’s much closer at about 20 km from downtown. Ground links include shuttle buses and taxis taking around 25–45 minutes, often cheaper than KLIA transfers but with fewer scheduled services. Pros: proximity and quicker access to western suburbs; cons: limited long-haul connections and fewer airline options.
