Guangzhou is served primarily by Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN), a major international hub handling long-haul and regional flights with a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost operators; some domestic travelers may still use Foshan or Shenzhen airports depending on routing. CAN sits about 28–30 km north of downtown Guangzhou, with travel times typically 30–60 minutes by metro or 30–50 minutes by taxi depending on traffic. The metro line offers an affordable option with fares usually in the low single-digit CNY range, while airport express buses and taxis can be slightly faster but cost more. Pros: extensive route network and modern facilities. Cons: peak-hour congestion and possible longer transfers for cross-city connections.
Xi’an is served mainly by Xi’an Xianyang International Airport (XIY), the region’s major international and domestic hub handling most long-haul and connecting flights; a smaller military-adjacent airfield may support limited operations. XIY is typically used by full-service carriers alongside major Chinese and some international airlines, with low-cost carriers also present on domestic routes. The airport sits about 40–50 km northwest of the city center — expect roughly 35–50 minutes by high-speed airport express train or 45–70 minutes by taxi depending on traffic. Public transport options include the airport metro line and long-distance buses; fares are generally modest for public transit and higher for taxis or private transfers. Pros: modern facilities and strong connectivity for transfers. Cons: distance from central Xi’an can add travel time and taxi costs.
