Cheap Flights from Sao Paulo to Almaty Starting at $648

São Paulo is served by three main airports with distinct roles. São Paulo–Guarulhos (GRU) is the international hub, typically hosting full-service carriers and many long-haul flights; it’s about 25–35 km from downtown and can be reached by airport bus, taxi or rideshare in roughly 40–60 minutes depending on traffic, with shuttle and rail options available at varying costs. Congonhas (CGH) functions as the city’s domestic and business gateway, favored by major Brazilian airlines for short-haul connections and usually much closer to the center (around 8–10 km), reachable by taxi or metro-plus-bus in 20–40 minutes; fares tend to be modest but traffic can add unpredictability. Viracopos (VCP) near Campinas is often positioned as a secondary international and cargo-friendly option, used by low-cost and some charter carriers; it’s farther out (about 90–110 km), so transfers typically take 60–100+ minutes by coach or private transfer and can be perceived as cheaper on low-fare routes but less convenient for quick city access. Pros include wide carrier choice at GRU, quick downtown access from Congonhas, and sometimes better low-cost deals via Viracopos; cons are variable travel times because of São Paulo traffic and longer transfers from outlying airports.

Almaty International Airport (ALA) is Kazakhstan’s main international gateway and typically operates as a full-service hub for national carrier flights and regional connections, with some low-cost services present. It sits about 15–20 km southeast of the city centre, and journeys by taxi or ride-hailing usually take 20–30 minutes depending on traffic; fares can often range from modest local rates to mid-range amounts for airport transfers. Public minibus shuttles and buses provide cheaper options in roughly 35–50 minutes. The airport is generally comfortable with a range of shops and lounges, though peak times can be busy; travelers may trade off slightly longer transfer times for a broad choice of international routes and carrier frequencies.
