Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from SHA to Guangzhou Airport last minute?
Being spontaneous is a great way to travel around, but it's not always the smartest method to grab a cheap flight. It's better to book your Hongqiao Intl. Airport (SHA) to Baiyun Intl. Airport (CAN) trip ahead of time instead of leaving it to the last minute. Based on flight pricing and demand studies in 2022, we have found that the best time to book domestic flights is between 28 – 35 days ahead of the departure date, and international flights three to four months in advance. We recommend saving that spontaneity for when you're exploring Baiyun Intl. Airport (CAN)!

With an on-time flight record of 100%, Hainan Airlines is the airline that's more likely to get you from Shanghai Hongqiao Airport to Baiyun Intl. Airport (CAN) without any holdups. Flight delays can be an excuse to linger longer at the airport bar. However, they can also make you miss an important connection or even ruin your entire trip. Stay updated about delays by looking up your flight status through the free Expedia App before you even reach the airport. If you're already there and the delay will significantly affect your plans, head to the customer service desk to figure out your next move.
What airports do you fly into for Guangzhou from Shanghai?
With Baiyun Intl. Airport (CAN), Shenzhen Intl. Airport (SZX) and Foshan (FUO-Shadi) to pick from, journeying from Shanghai to Guangzhou is a snap. The city's key hub, Baiyun Intl. Airport (CAN), is roughly 31 kilometers north of the center.

What are the most popular departure times for flights from Shanghai Hongqiao Intl. Airport to Guangzhou Airport?
Between 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM is when you'll find the largest number of China Eastern Airlines flights taking off from SHA to CAN. Our useful tip? Get up and away earlier in the day. With air traffic yet to build up around airports, your odds of traveling on a delay-free flight are higher.
Can I change the date of my flight from Shanghai Hongqiao Intl. Airport to CAN?
You can quickly and easily make changes to your Hongqiao Intl. Airport (SHA) to CAN ticket via the Expedia Trips portal.
