Cheap Flights from Manaus to Sao Paulo Starting at $83

Eduardo Gomes International Airport (MAO) serves Manaus as the city’s main international and regional hub, handling a mix of full-service carriers and domestic budget airlines that link the Amazon to Brazil’s larger cities. Located about 14–20 km north of the city center, travel times can range from 20–45 minutes by taxi or ride-hail depending on traffic; buses and shuttles may take longer but are typically cheaper. Fares are usually moderate for short transfers, with taxis and app rides commonly costing more than public buses. Pros include relatively direct connections and basic passenger facilities; cons can be crowding during peak periods and occasional delays tied to weather and operational constraints.

São Paulo–Guarulhos (GRU) is the city’s main international gateway and typically handles most long-haul and full-service carriers, including major global airlines and Brazil’s flag carriers. Located about 25 km northeast of downtown, it can take roughly 40–70 minutes by taxi or rideshare depending on traffic; airport shuttles and bus services to Tietê bus terminal usually run 50–90 minutes and can be a lower-cost option. A recent express rail link is at planning/early stages, so travel times vary. Pros: wide international connectivity, extensive services and lounges; cons: can be crowded with longer transfer walking distances and variable traffic into the city. Sao Paulo–Congonhas (CGH) typically serves domestic and regional flights and is often favored by business travelers for its proximity to the city center — about 8 km from Avenida Paulista. Travel by taxi or ride-hailing normally takes 15–30 minutes; city buses and local taxis offer cheaper alternatives. Airlines on domestic routes tend to be full-service and low-cost carriers operating short-haul schedules. Pros: very convenient for downtown access and short transfers; cons: limited international routes, stricter curfew/noise-related slot constraints, and a smaller terminal with fewer long-haul amenities. Viracopos (VCP), located near Campinas about 100 km northwest of São Paulo, is commonly positioned as a cargo and secondary passenger airport that can offer lower-cost or less-congested options for some domestic and seasonal international flights. The drive to central São Paulo can be around 70–120 minutes depending on traffic; dedicated shuttles and intercity buses are available and typically take longer but can be more economical. Pros: less crowded and often cheaper fares for certain routes, good cargo infrastructure; cons: significant distance to the city and fewer frequent connections compared with GRU and CGH.
