Rio de Janeiro is served by two main airports with different roles. Galeão–Antonio Carlos Jobim International (GIG) is the city’s primary international gateway and a full-service hub for carriers such as LATAM and Gol on long-haul and regional routes; it’s generally perceived as mid-to-upper range on pricing compared with domestic alternatives. Located about 20–25 km north of downtown, travel by taxi or app ride typically takes 25–40 minutes depending on traffic and can be pricier than public options; the BRT/express bus and the upcoming rail connections offer cheaper transfers in roughly 40–60 minutes for a modest fare. Santos Dumont (SDU) functions as a central domestic and business-focused airport with frequent short flights from other Brazilian cities, often used by premium leisure and corporate travelers; it sits just 2–5 km from the city center and is commonly reached in 10–20 minutes by taxi or metro/bus for a low to moderate fee. Pros: GIG is better for international connectivity and more flight options, while SDU is much closer to downtown and can save time on short trips. Cons: GIG can be further from central neighborhoods and affected by heavy traffic; SDU has fewer international routes and can be busier during peak commuter hours.

Milan is served by three main airports that play different roles for travelers. Malpensa (MXP) is the largest international hub, typically handling long-haul and premium carriers as well as many global connections; it sits about 50 km northwest of the city center and can be reached by express train (35–50 min), coach (45–60 min) or taxi (roughly 50–70 min), with fares varying by mode and time of day. Linate (LIN) is the closest to downtown (about 7 km) and usually hosts short-haul and business flights on legacy and regional airlines; travel times by bus or taxi are typically 20–30 minutes, often making it the fastest option for central arrivals. Orio al Serio/Bergamo (BGY) functions largely as a budget and low-cost carrier base, located around 45 km northeast; coaches to central Milan generally take 50–75 minutes while trains via Bergamo add a transfer, making it a value-conscious choice that can be less convenient for tight connections. Pros: Malpensa offers wide international connectivity; Linate is convenient for business travelers; Bergamo can be cheaper. Cons: Malpensa and Bergamo involve longer transfers, and Linate can be pricier for flights and ground transport during peak times.
