Cheap Flights from London to Guangzhou — $317

London is served by several distinct airports, each with its own role. Heathrow (LHR) is the capital’s principal international hub, typically hosting full-service carriers and many long-haul flights; it sits about 24 km west of central London and is usually reachable by the Heathrow Express (15–20 minutes, higher fare), London Underground/Piccadilly Line (50–60 minutes, lower fare), or taxis/shuttles (40–60 minutes depending on traffic). Gatwick (LGW) to the south is often a mixed international and leisure gateway popular with both low-cost and legacy airlines, around 45 km from the centre and commonly linked by Gatwick Express or Thameslink trains (30–40 minutes) and coach services. Stansted (STN) and Luton (LTN) function largely as bases for low-cost carriers and charter flights; they are farther out (roughly 45–65 km) with train-plus-shuttle or express coach options taking about 35–60 minutes—usually cheaper but less convenient than central airports. London City (LCY) is a compact, business-oriented airport within the Docklands area, close to the financial district (about 10 km) and often reached by Docklands Light Railway or short taxi rides (15–25 minutes). Pros: wide choice of airlines and frequencies across price points; excellent rail and coach links. Cons: travel time and cost vary widely by airport and can be affected by peak traffic or transfer connections.

The minimum one-way ticket price from London to Guangzhou is $434 (October 2026), while the maximum is $528 (August 2026). On average, a ticket costs $466–$925.

While connecting options can sometimes be cheaper, a nonstop flight saves hours and offers a more comfortable, stress-free journey worth the extra convenience.

Guangzhou is served primarily by Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN), a major international hub handling long-haul and regional carriers, while the older Foshan/Shadi or other secondary fields are more limited and can serve low-cost or cargo operations. CAN typically hosts full-service airlines like China Southern and many international carriers, so fares can range from competitive to premium depending on route and season. The airport sits about 28–35 km north of downtown Guangzhou; the metro (Line 3) and dedicated airport express usually take around 30–45 minutes with fares typically in the low single-digit CNY/¥ range, while taxis and rideshares take 40–60 minutes and cost substantially more. Pros: extensive connections, modern facilities and efficient rail links; Cons: distance from some central neighborhoods and occasional congestion during peak periods.
