Guangzhou is served primarily by Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN), a major international hub handling long-haul, regional and domestic services alongside a growing low-cost carrier presence; the city once used Guangzhou Baiyun (old) but all commercial flights now operate from the modern CAN complex. The airport sits about 28–33 km north of central Guangzhou, with metro Line 3 and intercity rail links taking roughly 30–45 minutes; taxis and app-based ride services typically take 30–60 minutes depending on traffic and can be mid-range in cost compared with other Chinese megacities. Pros: extensive global connections, frequent high-speed transfers and plentiful passenger amenities; cons: peak-time congestion and a longer transfer distance to downtown than some urban airports.

Tokyo is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. Haneda (Tokyo International Airport) typically functions as the primary domestic gateway and an increasingly important international hub for full-service carriers; it’s generally perceived as more convenient and sometimes pricier for last-minute travel. Located about 15–20 km south of central Tokyo, Haneda is reachable by direct train or monorail in roughly 20–30 minutes (fares usually around ¥500–¥700) and by taxi in 30–40 minutes depending on traffic. Its strengths are short transfer times, frequent domestic connections, and modern facilities; downsides can include higher fares and crowding during peak periods. Narita International Airport traditionally handles most long-haul and low-cost international flights, often used by budget carriers and some full-service airlines; it’s generally seen as more cost-competitive for international fares but further from the city. Situated about 60–70 km east of central Tokyo, Narita connects by express train (Narita Express or Skyliner) in about 40–60 minutes with fares typically in the ¥2,500–¥3,500 range, and by airport limousine bus in 60–90 minutes (fares varying by route); taxis can take 60–90+ minutes and can be costly. Narita’s pros include wide international route options and often lower ticket prices; cons include longer transfer times and the need to plan for longer ground travel.

In different months, ticket prices from Guangzhou to Tokyo vary: minimum — $132 (October 2025), maximum — $214 (March 2026). Typically, the flight costs $171–$343.
