Sao Paulo is served mainly by two major airports with different roles. Guarulhos–Governador André Franco Montoro (GRU) functions as the international hub, typically hosting full-service carriers and long-haul flights; fares from GRU can be mid-to-higher range compared with domestic-only options. It lies about 25–30 km from central Sao Paulo; common transfers include airport buses or coach services (roughly 50–90 minutes depending on traffic, fares usually moderate), taxis or app rides (30–60 minutes, higher cost), and an expanding rail link that can cut journey times. Pros: broad international connectivity and full passenger services; cons: can be busy and traffic to the city can be slow. Congonhas–Sao Paulo (CGH) is usually the city’s main domestic and regional airport, favored by domestic carriers and business travelers for short-haul flights. Located roughly 8–10 km from downtown, transfers are typically quick — taxis or ride-hailing trips often take 15–30 minutes and are fairly affordable, while local buses and shuttles provide lower-cost options with slightly longer travel times. Pros: convenience and shorter city access; cons: fewer international routes and occasional noise or capacity-related delays.
Fly direct from São Paulo to Fortaleza for the quickest and most convenient way to reach Brazil’s vibrant northeast coast — less hassle, fewer delays and more time to enjoy the beach. While connecting options can sometimes be cheaper, a nonstop trip saves hours and offers a more comfortable travel experience, making it ideal for weekend breaks or business travel.
Pinto Martins – Fortaleza International Airport (FOR) is the region’s main international gateway and typically handles a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on season and carrier. It sits about 7–10 km from downtown Fortaleza; taxis and ride-hailing usually take 15–25 minutes, while the official airport bus and shuttle services can take 25–40 minutes depending on traffic, with fares usually modest. The airport offers basic lounges and duty-free shopping and can be convenient for international and domestic connections, though peak times may mean longer security lines and limited seating in some concourses.
