São Paulo is served by three main airports with distinct roles. São Paulo–Guarulhos (GRU) functions as the primary international gateway and a major regional hub, typically handling long-haul carriers and full-service airlines; fares here can be mid-to-high depending on route and season. It lies about 25–30 km from downtown São Paulo, with airport buses, commuter rail plus shuttle combos, taxis and app cars taking roughly 40–70 minutes depending on traffic; expect fares from moderate to higher for taxis/rideshares. Congonhas (CGH) is the city’s inner-city airport focused on domestic and short-haul flights, usually favored by business travelers for its proximity—about 8 km from the center—and reachable by taxi or ride-share in 20–40 minutes; it can be more convenient but often busier during peak hours. Viracopos (VCP), located near Campinas ~90–100 km from central São Paulo, is commonly used for low-cost and cargo operators and can offer cheaper options on some routes; transfer times are typically 1.5–2 hours by car or shuttle, with intercity bus services also available. Pros: GRU for international connectivity, CGH for downtown convenience, VCP for budget or alternate routing. Cons: GRU and CGH can face traffic and peak delays, while VCP adds substantial ground transfer time.
Johannesburg is primarily served by O.R. Tambo International (JNB), the country’s main international hub handling most long-haul and regional carriers, alongside the smaller Lanseria (HLA), which often caters to low-cost and charter airlines. O.R. Tambo sits about 22 km east of the city center and typically offers a wide range of services; Gautrain rail links reach Sandton in roughly 20–25 minutes (fare around local metrotrain rates), while taxis and ride-hailing take 25–45 minutes depending on traffic with fares varying by provider. Lanseria is farther northwest, roughly 40–50 km from central Johannesburg, usually cheaper on parking and fast to use for domestic flights but less well served by public transit—shuttles and taxis are common. Pros: JNB is convenient for international connections and frequent services; Lanseria can be quicker for budget or point-to-point travel. Cons: O.R. Tambo can be busy at peak times and subject to traffic delays; Lanseria has fewer amenities and limited public-transport options.
