São Paulo–Guarulhos International (GRU) is the city’s main international hub, serving most long-haul and full-service carriers alongside some low-cost operators. Located about 25–30 km (30–50 minutes by car) northeast of downtown, transfers typically use the airport bus, app taxis or the train/shuttle combinations; travel can take 40–70 minutes depending on traffic, with fares varying from moderate coach prices to higher ride-hail costs. As the primary gateway, GRU is usually more full-service with extensive passenger facilities, lounges and duty-free shopping, but its size can mean longer queues and steps between terminals. Good for global connections; expect a bit more transit time and higher transfer fares.

Abu Dhabi International (AUH) is the emirate’s principal international gateway and a full-service hub for carriers such as Etihad Airways, with a mix of long-haul and regional connections; you can also find low-cost and charter services. The airport sits roughly 30–35 km east of the city center, with road transfers typically taking about 25–45 minutes by taxi depending on traffic and costing in the mid-range for the UAE, while public buses and airport shuttles provide cheaper if slower options. AUH usually offers modern lounges and retail choices, and can be more relaxed than Dubai’s busier airports; on the downside, onward transfers to some suburbs may add time and expense.
