Cached-fare history: across 5 months, Oct is the cheapest for AMS → CAN. Best time to be there: Oct–Dec.
Fares bottom out in October around $601 and peak in March near $987 — a $386 spread across the 5 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 13.5 hours outbound, on a 9-night trip — ticketed under Xiamen Airlines, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $601 for 9,150 km each way, that works out to about $33 per 1,000 km flown. That is below the $44 typical of long-haul fares here. Across the 22 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Guangzhou, this fare ranks 6th — 16% above the $520 from Istanbul. That puts it in the cheaper half of the 37 routes of similar length we watch out of Amsterdam, where the middle fare is $729.

How far in advance should I book AMS → Guangzhou?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. What we can measure is which month is cheap: across 5 months of cached fares, Oct comes out lowest on this route. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Amsterdam to Guangzhou?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Xiamen Airlines. Nonstop options exist on many dates at higher prices — check the live search for your exact dates.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on September 1). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
