San Francisco International Airport (SFO): SFO is the region’s primary international and long‑haul hub, typically hosting major network carriers (notably United) alongside several international airlines. It can be perceived as a full‑service, slightly pricier option for direct long‑distance routes. The airport sits about 13 miles (roughly 20–35 minutes by car) south of downtown San Francisco. Common transfers include BART (about 30–40 minutes to downtown, fares typically around the low‑double digits), ride‑share or taxi (20–40 minutes depending on traffic), and airport shuttles; rental cars and on‑site parking are plentiful. Pros: wide route choice and strong amenities; cons: can be busy with longer security and transfer times.
Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN) is the city’s primary international gateway and a major hub for full‑service carriers, typically including China Southern and a wide mix of foreign airlines. Located roughly 25–30 km north of central Guangzhou, it’s usually reached by Metro Line 3 in about 30–40 minutes (fares are typically low), airport shuttle buses and express coaches in 40–60 minutes, or by taxi/ride‑hail in 30–60 minutes depending on traffic (fares vary). The airport is modern with many lounges, shops and frequent connections, making it convenient for transfers, though it can be busy at peak times and security/immigration queues may add time. Foshan Shadi Airport (FOS) functions more as a regional/budget option serving mainly domestic and short‑haul routes and can sometimes offer lower fares than the main hub. Situated in Foshan’s Nanhai area, it’s typically 30–40 km from Guangzhou’s centre and reached by intercity coaches, dedicated airport shuttles, or taxi/ride‑hail; journeys generally take around 40–70 minutes depending on traffic and service chosen. The airport can be a good value choice for price‑conscious travellers, but it usually has fewer flights, limited international links and more modest ground facilities, so transfers to central Guangzhou can require extra planning.
