Cheap Flights from Sao Paulo to Maceio — $98

São Paulo is served by three main airports with different roles. São Paulo–Guarulhos International (GRU) is the primary international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers and typically seeing higher fares than the budget options; it sits about 25–30 km northeast of downtown and can be reached by taxi or ride-hail in roughly 40–60 minutes (fares vary), by airport express bus in about 50–70 minutes or by commuter train plus bus in similar times with lower cost. Congonhas (CGH) functions as the city’s domestic business gateway, favored by quick connections on regional and full-service airlines and usually closer to the center (about 8–10 km), offering 20–35 minute taxi rides and frequent shuttle options; it can be pricier per kilometer but saves time. Viracopos (VCP), located near Campinas some 90–100 km from central São Paulo, is often positioned as a low-cost and cargo-friendly alternative used by budget carriers and charters; travel to the city can take 1.5–2.5 hours by bus or car and may be cheaper per ticket but adds ground-transfer time. Pros: GRU for international connections and facilities, CGH for quick downtown access, VCP for lower fares on certain routes; cons: GRU can be busy and farther from city center, CGH has limited long-haul services, and VCP requires a longer ground transfer.

Fly nonstop from São Paulo to Maceió for the quickest, most convenient way to reach Brazil’s sun-drenched beaches — no layovers, less hassle, and more time to relax. While connecting options can sometimes be cheaper, a direct flight saves hours and brings greater comfort, making it ideal for weekend breaks or business trips alike.

Zumbi dos Palmares International Airport (MCZ) serves Maceió as the main gateway for Alagoas, acting as a regional international hub with a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers operating seasonal and year-round routes. Located roughly 25–30 minutes (25–35 km) from downtown Maceió, transfer options include taxis and ride-hailing (about BRL 30–80), airport shuttles, and occasional bus services taking around 40–60 minutes for lower fares. The airport is usually efficient for domestic connections and can be busier during holiday periods when fares may rise; it’s convenient for quick access to city beaches but has limited late-night services and fewer premium lounges compared with larger Brazilian hubs.

The cost of a one-way flight from Sao Paulo to Maceio ranges from $115 (February 2026) to $252 (January 2026). On average, the ticket price is about $183–$252.
