Departing from Ottawa (YOW) FAQs
Use fare comparison tools (Google Flights, Skyscanner, Momondo) and set price alerts for routes. Search flexible dates and nearby airports like Shenzhen Bao'an (SZX) and Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) to compare prices, then book when you see a consistent dip in fares.
Typical non-stop economy flight times from Guangzhou are: Bangkok ~3 hours, Singapore ~4 hours, Kuala Lumpur ~4 hours, Hanoi ~2 hours and 20 minutes. Flight durations vary by carrier and routing; always check scheduled block time before booking.
During the Canton Fair (April and October) demand rises and prices often increase, especially for business routes and nearby hubs. Book early if traveling for the fair, or search for alternative nearby airports and mid-week flights to find cheaper economy fares.
Economy allowances vary: full-service carriers often include 20–30 kg checked baggage while low-cost airlines may only include cabin baggage. Check the airline’s fare rules before purchase, and consider bundled economy fares if you need checked luggage or seat selection.
January (after Lunar New Year period) can yield lower economy fares as demand drops, but prices spike during the Lunar New Year holiday itself. For January travel, book early or target mid-to-late January for the cheapest fares.
Consider Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (SZX), Hong Kong International Airport (HKG), and Macau International Airport (MFM). These hubs sometimes offer lower economy fares or more low-cost carrier options; compare total travel time and cross-border transfer costs.
Arriving at Guangzhou (CAN) FAQs
Cheapest economy fares often limit checked baggage and include only cabin allowance; seat selection and meals may be extra. Review your ticket’s fare conditions before travel and purchase baggage or seat options online to save compared to airport rates.
Allow at least 90–120 minutes for domestic economy arrivals and 2–3 hours for international flights when planning transfers, accounting for immigration, baggage claim, and possible delays. For cheapest economy itineraries with tight connections, consider adding a buffer or booking a later connecting flight.
In June, summer traffic can cause flight delays and longer baggage times; arrive with extra connection time and check mobile updates for the cheapest economy fares which can sell out quickly. Use airport lounges or priority services if you have a long wait, even if arriving on a low-cost fare.
From an arrival to the Pearl River Delta you can reach Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Macau, Dongguan, and Foshan via high-speed rail and shuttle services. Consider cross-border transit times and visa requirements when planning further travel after an economy arrival.
Contact the airline immediately and review the fare's rebooking policy; low-cost tickets may have limited rebooking or refund options. Use travel insurance and credit card protections where applicable to cover cancellations or delays.
