Cheap Flights from Florianopolis to Rio De Janeiro — $59

Florianópolis is served mainly by Hercílio Luz International Airport (FLN), which functions as the island’s primary gateway and combines domestic links with a growing number of regional international flights. The airport typically handles a mix of full-service and budget carriers, so fares can range from competitive to mid-tier depending on seasonality. FLN sits about 10–15 km from downtown Florianópolis, with taxis and app-based rides taking roughly 20–35 minutes and costing in the ballpark of local taxi rates; shared shuttles and local buses provide cheaper options, though they may be slower. Pros: convenient access to the island, compact terminal layout and reasonable walk times. Cons: can get busy during peak holiday periods and has limited late-night connectivity compared with larger continental hubs.

Rio de Janeiro is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Rio de Janeiro–Galeão (GIG) is the city’s principal international gateway and a hub for several full-service carriers, typically handling long-haul and regional flights; fares here can be mid-to-high compared with domestic-focused options. The airport sits about 20–25 km from downtown Zona Sul, with transfers by taxi or rideshare taking roughly 30–50 minutes depending on traffic (fares vary widely), and an airport bus or BRT/express services offering cheaper 40–60 minute journeys. Pros: international connections and fuller passenger services; cons: can be farther from popular beach neighborhoods and affected by heavy traffic. Santos Dumont (SDU) is a smaller, centrally located airport primarily serving domestic and short regional routes, often favored by business travelers and carriers operating higher-frequency shuttle services. It’s just 3–8 km from the city center, usually a 10–20 minute taxi or rideshare trip (short, cost-effective) and well connected by public transit and ferries, though it typically handles fewer international flights and has limited late-night options. Pros: convenience and quick access to central Rio; cons: smaller terminal with fewer long-haul amenities.
