El Alto International (LPB) serves La Paz as the country’s main international gateway and a busy hub for both full-service and low-cost carriers, typically handling most long-haul and regional flights. Located high on the Altiplano about 14–16 km (roughly 30–45 minutes by road, depending on traffic) above the city center, transfers are commonly by taxi, shared vans, or prebooked shuttle; fares can range from modest to moderate given altitude-related vehicle requirements. Pros include good connectivity, formal customs and services, and frequent departures; cons are the airport’s high elevation, colder winds, and the uphill transfer into central La Paz, which can be tiring and occasionally more costly than lower-altitude transfers.

Galeão–Antonio Carlos Jobim International Airport (GIG) serves as Rio de Janeiro’s main international gateway and a full-service hub for legacy carriers as well as many long-haul and regional flights. Located about 20–25 km north of downtown, transfer options include taxis or ride-hailing (roughly 30–60 minutes depending on traffic), express buses and the recently extended rail/metro connections that can take around 40–70 minutes; fares can range from budget bus tickets to mid-range taxi/ride fares. Travelers can expect a mix of conveniences—lounges, shops and full-service amenities—while busy peak periods and variable traffic can make journeys less predictable. Santos Dumont Airport (SDU) is Rio’s centrally located airport that typically handles domestic and short-haul flights, often favored by business travelers and those seeking fast access to the city center. Situated just 2–5 km from downtown, it’s reachable by taxi or ride-hailing in about 10–20 minutes and by ferry or public bus options that may be cheaper but slower; fares are generally modest for short transfers. The airport can be convenient for quick turnarounds and minimal ground time, though it’s smaller and can feel crowded during peak morning and evening waves, with limited long-haul services compared with the larger international airport. Jacarepaguá and other smaller general-aviation fields around Rio usually host private flights, charters and flight training rather than scheduled commercial services, making them a niche option for business or leisure travelers seeking privacy or flexibility. These aerodromes are positioned further from central tourist areas, so ground transport is typically by private car or charter transfer and travel times vary widely with traffic. They can offer quieter, more personalized service than major airports, but lack extensive passenger amenities and public transport links, which can make them less convenient for travelers on a budget or those relying on public transit.

In different months, ticket prices from La Paz to Rio De Janeiro vary: minimum — $345 (August 2026), maximum — $553 (January 2026). Typically, the flight costs $431–$433.
