When this route gets cheap.
Fares bottom out in October around $190 and peak in June near $301, 58% dearer, across the 7 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 6.5 hours outbound, on a 4-night trip — ticketed under Shandong Airlines, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $190 for 2,071 km each way, that works out to about $46 per 1,000 km flown. That is about the $41 per 1,000 km typical of short-haul fares here. Across the 3 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Guangzhou, this fare ranks 3rd — 20% above the $158 from Bangkok. The best time to be in Guangzhou: Oct–Dec.
Cheapest day in the next 4 months: 25 Oct, $190

Good to know
SEL → CAN, answered.
Is $190 a good price for Seoul to Guangzhou?
Only slightly. The seasonal median is around $205 round-trip and this fare is 7% under it. We do not call a drop notable until 20%, so this is an ordinary price for the route rather than a reason to hurry.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Seoul to Guangzhou?
Across 7 months of cached-fare history, Oct comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Guangzhou are Oct–Dec — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book SEL → 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We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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 7 months of cached fares, Oct comes out lowest on this route. Our guide Why flight prices change covers what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Seoul to Guangzhou?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Shandong Airlines. We hold no nonstop fare on this route right now, which does not mean none flies — search your exact dates to see what does.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on 17 October). 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.
