Guangzhou is served primarily by Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN), a major international hub handling both full-service and low-cost carriers and acting as a key gateway for southern China. The airport is about 28–30 km north of the city center; taxis and ride-hailing typically take 45–60 minutes depending on traffic, while the metro Line 3 provides a cheaper 40–50 minute link with fares usually in the low single-digit CNY range. Frequent domestic and international flights can make CAN competitively priced compared with other Chinese gateways, though fares vary by season. Pros: extensive route network and modern facilities; cons: long transfer distances and peak-hour congestion can affect comfort.
São Paulo–Guarulhos (GRU) is the city’s main international gateway and a major South American hub, handling long-haul, regional and domestic flights for carriers like LATAM, Gol and international airlines. Flights here can be priced higher than to secondary fields, though budget options are common on domestic spur routes. The airport sits about 25–30 km northeast of downtown São Paulo; typical transfers include the airport bus or ride-hailing (30–60 minutes depending on traffic, fares vary), express rail plans are developing but not yet universal, and taxis may take 40–70 minutes with metered fares. Pros: full-service facilities, wide airline choice and comprehensive ground connections. Cons: can be busy, queues and longer transfer times are common during peak periods.
Congonhas–Sao Paulo (CGH) operates mainly as the city’s domestic and business-oriented airport, favored for short-haul flights and frequent services by carriers such as LATAM and Gol. It’s often perceived as a convenient, central option and can be competitively priced for same-day or business travel, though international options are limited. Located just 8–9 km from the city center, Congonhas offers quick road transfers—taxi or ride-hailing typically take 20–40 minutes depending on traffic; local bus and scheduled shuttles are also available at lower cost. Pros: proximity to downtown and fast turnarounds; Cons: smaller terminals, stricter operating hours and noise-related restrictions can limit late-night flights.
Viracopos–Campinas (VCP) is a growing alternative for São Paulo-area travelers, acting as a mix of cargo hub and expanding passenger airport with some low-cost carriers and charter services. Prices can be lower on budget routes, but added ground transfer time to São Paulo may offset savings for some travelers. The airport lies about 90–100 km northwest of central São Paulo; typical transfer options include intercity buses (1.5–2 hours), shared shuttles and private transfers, with times and fares varying by service. Pros: often quieter and less congested than GRU, sometimes lower fares on low-cost carriers; Cons: significant travel time to the city and fewer flight frequencies.
The minimum one-way ticket price from Guangzhou to Sao Paulo is $815 (April 2026), while the maximum is $932 (December 2025). On average, a ticket costs $874–$932.
