Cached-fare history: across 4 months, Oct is the cheapest for SAO → CAN. Best time to be there: Oct–Dec.
Fares bottom out in October around $1,306 and peak in December near $2,213 — a $907 spread across the 4 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes 2 stops and takes about 24.5 hours outbound, on a 7-night trip — ticketed under LATAM Airlines Brasil, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $1,306 for 17,964 km each way, that works out to about $36 per 1,000 km flown. That is below the $40 typical of ultra-long-haul fares here. Across the 3 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Guangzhou, this fare ranks 3rd — 17% above the $1,112 from Miami. That puts it in the cheaper half of the 18 routes of similar length we watch out of São Paulo, where the middle fare is $1,736.

How far in advance should I book SAO → 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We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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 4 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 São Paulo to Guangzhou?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under LATAM Airlines Brasil. 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.
