Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) to CAN last minute?
Booking your flight from HOU to Guangzhou Airport last minute could save you a nice sum if you get lucky and find a bargain. However, fares don’t usually get cheaper closer to the departure date. If you hold out, flights could also be booked solid or the best seats taken (because who wants the middle seat?). If you’d rather play it safe, book well in advance of your departure date. Keep in mind that some of the best deals can be found up to a year in advance. If your favorite airline hasn’t released tickets yet, check back regularly as deals are constantly updated on Expedia.
What airports do you fly into for Guangzhou from Houston?
Baiyun Intl. Airport (CAN), Shenzhen Intl. Airport (SZX) and Foshan (FUO-Shadi) are your options when setting off from Houston to Guangzhou. Approximately 19 mi north of downtown Guangzhou, Baiyun Intl. Airport (CAN) is the city’s main entry point. Think about things like flight arrival and departure times and the distance to your hotel before choosing an airport.
