Guangzhou Flights

Immerse yourself in the culture of one of Hong Kong's most amazing cities when you step off of any of the flights to Guangzhou. From the rich history of Shamian Island to the heart-pounding roller-coasters of Chimelong Paradise, a wealth of activities await your discovery upon arrival. No matter which season you plan on travelling to this region, you're guaranteed to have an unforgettable time.

Best Time to Travel to Guangzhou

Peak Season:

Guangzhou generally experiences two peak seasons each year, the first is in April and May, while the second takes place throughout September, October, and the first half of November. Due in part to the Chinese New Year and Chinese Spring Festival, these are the busiest times for local airlines, accommodation, and attractions, and prices tend to be a bit higher. Make your reservations far in advance to get the best deals when travelling during these seasons.

Shoulder Season:

You’ll still be able to take in many of Guangzhou’s most popular attractions when you visit during either of the shoulder seasons, which span from March through August, and during the first part of November. Tourism tends to drop off a bit during these times, and rates on rooms fall as well, making these great seasons to take a holiday in Guangzhou.

Off Season:

The least popular time for tourism in this part of China is between the latter half of November through the end of February. It’s during this rainy season when the weather isn’t as welcoming as in other times of the year, but cheap flights to Guangzhou are easier to come across.

How to survive the flight to Guangzhou?
If you’re poorly prepared, travelling can be challenging. But don’t hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a hassle-free start to your holiday in Guangzhou.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, bring items that’ll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It’s also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don’t forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Guangzhou?
A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Guangzhou a pleasure. Read through our handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

  • Have your ID and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They’re the first things you’ll be asked for by security.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Want to bring along your favourite hand cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you’re allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
