Guangzhou is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Guangzhou Baiyun International (CAN) is the primary international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers as well as many regional flights; it’s often the choice for business travelers and those connecting internationally. Located about 28 km north of the city center, it can be reached by metro (approx. 40–60 minutes) and airport express or taxi (30–60 minutes, fares varying by route and time). Foshan Shadi/Guangzhou–Foshan nearby terminals and smaller regional airports are typically used for low-cost and domestic services, with shorter transfer times to closer suburbs but fewer amenities. Pros: comprehensive facilities and strong connectivity at Baiyun; cons: longer transfers and possible peak-hour congestion.
San Francisco International (SFO) is the region’s main international hub, handling a mix of long-haul carriers and major U.S. airlines alongside some international full-service and premium operators. It sits about 13 miles south of downtown San Francisco; road transfers typically take 20–40 minutes depending on traffic, while the BART rapid transit connects terminals to the Financial District in roughly 30 minutes for moderate fares. Ground transportation also includes airport shuttles, taxis and app rideshares, with travel times and costs varying by time of day. SFO usually offers a wide range of lounges and dining options and tends to be pricier than nearby secondary airports, though it’s often more convenient for international connections; however, peak-hour traffic and occasional long security lines can be drawbacks.
In different months, ticket prices from Guangzhou to San Francisco vary: minimum — $442 (May 2026), maximum — $506 (June 2026). Typically, the flight costs $460–$466.
