Cached-fare history: across 5 months, Nov is the cheapest for VIE → CAN. Best time to be there: Oct–Dec.
Fares bottom out in November around $567 and peak in December near $948 — a $381 spread across the 5 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 13 hours outbound, on a 10-night trip — ticketed under China Eastern, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $567 for 8,599 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 20 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Guangzhou, this fare ranks 3rd — 9% above the $520 from Istanbul. That puts it in the cheaper half of the 36 routes of similar length we watch out of Vienna, where the middle fare is $696.

How far in advance should I book VIE → 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We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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, Nov comes out lowest on this route. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Vienna to Guangzhou?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under China Eastern. 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.
