Cheap Flights from Quito to Sao Paulo Starting at $276

Quito is served mainly by Mariscal Sucre International Airport (UIO), a modern international hub handling most long-haul and regional flights; it is typically the gateway for national carriers and many international airlines rather than a low-cost-only base. The airport sits about 18–20 km east of downtown Quito, with road transfer times often ranging from 35 to 60 minutes depending on traffic. Taxis and app-based rides cost in the mid-range for the country, while airport shuttles and buses provide cheaper options that can take a bit longer. Pros: generally comfortable facilities, straightforward international connections, and newer infrastructure. Cons: journeys to the historic center can be slow in peak traffic and fares vary with demand.

São Paulo is served by multiple airports with distinct roles. São Paulo–Guarulhos (GRU) acts as the primary international gateway and full-service hub, handling most long-haul and many regional flights with major carriers and alliance partners; fares here can be mid-to-premium compared with domestic-focused options. It lies about 25 km northeast of downtown São Paulo, reachable by express bus (40–60 minutes, moderate fares), airport shuttle or taxi (around 40–70 minutes, higher cost), and a recently extended rail link that can take about 35–50 minutes at competitive prices. Pros: wide route choice and modern long-haul facilities; cons: can be busy and transfer times may be longer. Congonhas (CGH) is São Paulo’s central domestic airport, typically favored for short-haul and business flights by local and low-cost carriers; ticket prices can be competitive for same-day connections. Located roughly 8 km south of the central business district, it’s commonly reached by taxi or ride-hail in 15–30 minutes and by city bus in 20–40 minutes with low fares; transfers from rail stations are possible though often require a short taxi ride. Pros: very convenient for downtown access and frequent services; cons: limited international connectivity and stricter noise/curfew restrictions that can affect schedules. Viracopos (VCP) in Campinas functions more as a secondary international and cargo-oriented option and can be an economical choice for some carriers and charter services. It sits about 100 km northwest of central São Paulo, with travel times usually ranging from 70 to 100 minutes by intercity bus or car and fares that vary depending on service level; scheduled shuttle buses and private transfers are common for travelers. Pros: often less crowded and can offer lower fares on select routes; cons: significantly farther from the city center, so ground transfers are longer and add cost and planning considerations.
