Most important tips
A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.
Security and immigration peak 7-10 AM and 6-9 PM.
Domestic flights need about 2 hours; T2 international peaks longer.
T1 is closed — boarding passes show T2 or T3 only.
China Southern and many international flights use T2; most former-T1 domestics moved to T3.
Local Cantonese options and chains; T3 options still settling in.
Premium lounges in T2 offer better seating and hot meals for eligible passengers.
Free inter-terminal shuttles connect T2 and T3; allow 15-25+ min.
No direct Line 3 stop at T3 — budget time for Gaozeng shuttle or T2 transfer.
The stronger China Southern option for international premium passengers, with practical rest facilities but possible Priority Pass capacity limits.
