Unable to find information about the schedule of direct flights from
Abu Dhabi International (AUH) is the emirate’s main international gateway and typically serves as a premium hub for Etihad Airways alongside a mix of other full-service carriers and some regional budget operators. The airport sits about 30–40 km from downtown Abu Dhabi; road transfers usually take 25–45 minutes depending on traffic, with taxis and ride-hailing being the quickest options and costing roughly AED 70–120, while public buses are cheaper but slower (around 45–60 minutes). AUH is generally convenient for long-haul connections and offers modern facilities, though it can feel spread out for tight transfers; travelers seeking lower fares sometimes compare flights via nearby Dubai airports, which may involve a longer transfer.
Galeão–Antonio Carlos Jobim International Airport (GIG) is Rio’s main international gateway and a regional hub for full-service carriers, typically handling long-haul and many domestic connections. Located about 20–25 km north of downtown, travel to the city center can take roughly 30–60 minutes by taxi or rideshare depending on traffic; there is also an express bus and the nearby BRT/transit connections with fares usually moderate. Expect airport facilities aimed at international travelers — lounges, car rental desks and customs — though peak-time queues can occur. Pros: direct long-haul flights and wider amenities; cons: variable transfer times and occasional congestion. Santos Dumont Airport (SDU) serves as Rio’s convenient domestic and regional airport, commonly favored for business travelers because of its very short distance to the city center — around 2–8 km depending on the destination — and fast travel times of 10–20 minutes by taxi or rideshare. It’s typically served by domestic and regional airlines on frequent shuttle-style routes, which can make fares competitive for short hops. Ground links include taxis, rideshares and limited bus services with low-to-moderate fares. Pros: proximity and quick transfers to the central area; cons: fewer international services and more compact terminal space that can feel busy during peak hours.
