Guangzhou is served primarily by Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN), a major international hub handling long-haul and regional flights and typically used by full-service carriers as well as some low-cost operators. Located about 28–30 km north of the city center, it can take around 30–60 minutes to reach downtown by metro or expressway depending on traffic; the metro costs roughly CNY 8–15 while taxis and ride-shares commonly range higher. The airport offers extensive transfer options (metro, long-distance coach, taxi) and comprehensive passenger facilities, making it convenient for international connections, though peak-period crowds and longer walking distances between gates can be drawbacks for tight transfers.

London is served by several distinct airports that cater to different travel needs. Heathrow is the main international hub, typically preferred by full-service carriers and offering the widest range of long-haul connections; it sits about 24 km west of central London, reachable by the Heathrow Express in roughly 15–25 minutes (higher fares) or by the Piccadilly Line tube in about 50–60 minutes (cheaper). Gatwick functions as a major secondary hub with a mix of full-service and low-cost airlines, around 45 km south of the city; the Gatwick Express takes about 30 minutes to Victoria, while buses and trains can be cheaper but slower. Stansted is usually a budget- and charter-focused airport north-east of London, around 60 km away; the Stansted Express reaches Liverpool Street in about 45–50 minutes, with coach options typically cheaper. Luton commonly handles many low-cost carriers and sits roughly 55 km northwest, with shuttle buses to the station and trains into central London taking about 35–50 minutes. London City Airport serves business travelers and short-haul routes and is the closest to Canary Wharf and the Square Mile, about 11 km east of central London; it’s often convenient for quick transfers, reachable by the DLR in roughly 20–30 minutes. Pros across the network include a wide choice of carriers and transport links; cons can be variable transfer times, peak-hour congestion, and differing price perceptions—Heathrow and City can be pricier and more comfortable, while Stansted, Luton and Gatwick can be more budget-friendly but may require longer ground transfers.
