Looking for cheap flights from Ahmedabad to Guangzhou?

No carrier serves the route non-stop, so you connect at a hub. Cathay Pacific via Hong Kong offers a short onward hop into Guangzhou; Thai Airways via Bangkok and Malaysia Airlines via Kuala Lumpur are popular one-stop options; and China Southern, whose main hub is Guangzhou Baiyun, can connect you via its network. IndiGo or another Indian carrier typically provides the Ahmedabad feeder to Bangkok, KL or a metro. For Canton Fair travel, the Hong Kong and Bangkok routings usually offer the best balance of frequency, price and timing.
Hong Kong (HKG) is closest to Guangzhou—the onward flight is under 1 hour, or you can even continue overland by high-speed train in about 50 minutes from HKG's rail links. Bangkok (BKK) on Thai Airways is often the cheapest and has many onward flights. Kuala Lumpur (KUL) on Malaysia Airlines or AirAsia gives competitive low-cost options. If you want a stopover holiday, Bangkok and KL make great break points; for the shortest total time, Hong Kong is hard to beat given its proximity to the Pearl River Delta.
You land at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN), about 28 km north of the city centre. Metro Line 3 connects the airport directly to the city in roughly 40–60 minutes for a few yuan—the easiest option. A taxi to the centre costs around 120–150 CNY (roughly ₹1,400–₹1,800) and takes 40–60 minutes depending on traffic. Guangzhou's high-speed rail also links to Shenzhen, Hong Kong and across China, so CAN is a strong base for wider business travel in the delta region.
Full-service Asian carriers are generous: economy to China usually includes 30 kg checked on Cathay Pacific and China Southern, while Thai and Malaysia commonly allow 30 kg as well—helpful for traders carrying samples. Low-cost legs (AirAsia, Scoot) sell baggage separately, so a budget feeder may include no hold bag—budget for an add-on. Cabin baggage is typically 7 kg. If your itinerary mixes full-service and budget airlines, confirm the allowance covers the whole journey, as it can reset at the airline change.
The biggest driver is the Canton Fair, held in two phases around April–May and October–November, when business demand spikes flight and hotel prices—book well ahead if attending. Outside the fair, March, May (late) and November tend to offer the cheapest fares. Spring and autumn have the most pleasant weather; summer (June–September) is hot, humid and prone to typhoons in the south. Avoid the Chinese New Year period (late January/February), when domestic travel surges and prices climb.
Guangzhou is China's trade capital—the twice-yearly Canton Fair is the world's largest import-export expo, drawing thousands of Indian buyers across electronics, textiles, machinery and more. Beyond business, the city offers the Canton Tower, Shamian Island's colonial architecture, Cantonese cuisine and easy day trips to Shenzhen and Hong Kong. There is an established Indian and African trading community with Indian restaurants in areas like Xiaobei. With its proximity to manufacturing zones, Guangzhou is the practical base for any sourcing or factory-visit trip in southern China.
Indian passport holders must obtain a Chinese visa in advance—there is no visa-on-arrival for tourism or business at Guangzhou. Apply through the Chinese visa application centre for an L (tourist) or M (business) visa; business travellers usually need an invitation letter from a Chinese company or the fair organiser. Processing typically takes about 4–7 working days, with express options. Passports must be valid for at least 6 months. Note that visa-free transit policies that exist for some nationalities generally do not apply to Indian citizens, so secure your visa before booking. See our visa guide.
No. All routings have 1 stop via Hong Kong, Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur, with total travel time of about 9–13 hours over roughly 5,060 km.
