Cheap Flights from Mexico City to Sao Paulo Starting at $261

Mexico City is served primarily by Benito Juárez International (MEX), the country’s main international hub that handles most full-service carriers and many domestic links, while Felipe Ángeles International (AIFA), opened more recently, often handles lower-cost and some domestic flights. MEX sits about 6–8 km from the historic center with metro, bus, taxi and ride-hailing options typically taking 20–40 minutes depending on traffic; fares can range from a few pesos for public transit to moderate taxi/ride-share costs. AIFA is around 40–50 km north of downtown and can be 45–90 minutes away by car or bus, often at lower airport fees but with less frequent public transit. Choosing MEX can mean more route choices and quicker access to the city, whereas AIFA may offer cheaper fares and less congestion but can add travel time and require transfers.

São Paulo is served by two main airports with different roles. São Paulo/Guarulhos–Governador André Franco Montoro (GRU) is the city’s primary international gateway and a major South American hub, typically handling long-haul and full-service carriers alongside some low-cost operations. It sits about 25–30 km northeast of central São Paulo; travel times to the city center are usually 40–60 minutes by car depending on traffic, or roughly 50–70 minutes by airport bus or rail options, with shuttle fares and bus tickets commonly in the mid-range for the market. Pros: extensive international connections and full-service passenger facilities; cons: can be busy and subject to heavy traffic into the city. Congonhas–São Paulo (CGH) functions as the city’s domestic and regional airport, favored by short-haul carriers and business travelers for frequent flights. Located much closer to downtown — around 8–9 km — transfers by taxi or rideshare are usually 15–30 minutes outside peak congestion, while city buses can be cheaper though slower; fares are typically lower than from GRU. Pros: convenience and shorter transfers for domestic trips; cons: limited international options and tighter terminal space.
