Guangzhou is served primarily by Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN), a major international hub handling full-service carriers and many regional and low-cost airlines; it’s the city’s main gateway for long-haul and domestic flights. The airport sits about 28–30 km north of the city center, with transit options including the metro (Line 3, roughly 40–60 minutes), express buses (45–75 minutes depending on traffic), and taxis or ride-hailing (about 40–60 minutes; fares can vary based on distance and time of day). Pros: extensive route network, modern terminals and plentiful services. Cons: travel times can be long in peak traffic and some budget carriers may use remote stands, requiring extra walking or shuttle rides.

Lhasa is served mainly by Lhasa Gonggar Airport (LXA), the region’s primary international and domestic gateway located about 60 km southwest of the city center. The airport typically handles flights from major Chinese carriers and a handful of regional operators, so fares can be higher than low-cost domestic routes due to its remote location and limited competition. Ground transfer options include airport shuttle buses (roughly 60–90 minutes), taxis (about 50–70 minutes) and private transfers; expect shuttle fares to be modest and taxi fares notably higher because of the distance and altitude. Pros: direct access to Tibet’s capital and basic passenger services adapted for high-altitude travel. Cons: longer transfer times to central Lhasa and fewer flight choices compared with larger Chinese hubs.
