São Paulo–Guarulhos International (GRU) is the city's main international gateway and a full-service hub for several carriers, typically handling long-haul and regional flights. Major network and legacy airlines often operate here, so fares can be mid-to-high depending on season and route. The airport sits about 25 km (roughly 40–60 minutes by road) north of central São Paulo; options into town include express bus or airport shuttle (around 1–1.5 hours depending on traffic), taxis and ride-hailing (30–90 minutes, fares vary), and a dedicated airport rail link in some service patterns. Pros: extensive facilities, many connections and airline lounges; cons: can be busy, with longer transfer times and variable traffic impacts on ground transfers. Congonhas Airport (CGH) functions mainly as São Paulo’s domestic and regional business airport, favored by corporate and short-haul travelers. It is typically served by full-service and low-cost domestic carriers, and fares for short hops can be competitive due to frequent schedules. Located close to downtown (about 8–10 km, roughly 20–40 minutes by car), ground access includes taxis and ride-hailing, municipal bus routes, and limited shuttle services; travel times are usually short but can be unpredictable in peak traffic, with modest fares. Pros: convenient for downtown access and quick transfers; cons: smaller terminal with fewer international connections and sometimes congested airspace leading to delays. Viracopos–Campinas (VCP) sits outside São Paulo and often serves as a secondary international and cargo-oriented gateway, commonly used by low-cost and cargo-heavy operators. It can offer lower fares for certain routes, particularly low-cost international and charter services, but the distance to São Paulo’s center (about 100 km, roughly 1–1.5 hours by car to 2+ hours by bus) makes ground transfers longer. Transport options include intercity buses and private transfers (travel time and price vary broadly), plus occasional shuttle services. Pros: less crowded and often cheaper on select routes; cons: longer transfer times to the city and fewer frequent services compared with the primary airports.

Mexico City is served primarily by Benito Juárez International Airport (MEX), the country’s main international hub that handles full-service and many low-cost carriers; Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA) north of the city functions more as a budget-leaning alternative for domestic and regional flights. MEX sits roughly 10–15 km east of the historic center, typically 20–40 minutes by metro/metrobus or 20–60 minutes by taxi depending on traffic (fares vary widely; expect public transit to be the cheapest option). AIFA is about 45–60 km north and can take 45–90 minutes to reach by road, with shuttle services and buses as common links. Pros: MEX offers frequent international connections and extensive ground transport; AIFA can be less crowded and cheaper for some routes. Cons: both can be impacted by heavy traffic and longer transfer times for tight connections.

In different months, ticket prices from Sao Paulo to Mexico City vary: minimum — $174 (December 2026), maximum — $340 (July 2026). Typically, the flight costs $259–$260.
