São Paulo–Guarulhos International Airport (GRU) is the city's primary international gateway and a major South American hub, typically serving full-service carriers alongside several international low-cost airlines. Located about 25–30 km northeast of downtown São Paulo, travel times to the center can be 30–60+ minutes by car depending on traffic; airport shuttles, buses and the airport rail link (with onward metro connections) are common options, with fares generally ranging from modest bus ticket prices to higher taxi or rideshare costs. GRU is strong on facilities—multiple lounges and long-haul services—but can be busy during peak hours, which may affect check-in and transfer times. São Paulo–Congonhas Airport (CGH) usually handles domestic and regional flights and tends to be favored by business travelers and short-haul carriers. Sitting much closer to the city (around 8–9 km from central neighborhoods), it is often the fastest option to reach downtown by taxi or rideshare—typically 15–30 minutes off-peak—with local buses and occasional shuttle services as cheaper alternatives. Congonhas is convenient for quick city access and frequent flights within Brazil, though it can feel congested at peak times and offers fewer international connections and limited long-haul amenities. Viracopos International Airport (VCP), near Campinas about 90–100 km northwest of São Paulo, can be a budget-friendly alternative primarily used for cargo, some international services and low-cost passenger routes. Transfers to central São Paulo can take roughly 1–2 hours by car or bus, with bus services and occasional shuttles offering economical but longer journeys compared with city airports. Viracopos may offer lower fares on certain routes and less terminal crowding, but the greater distance means trade-offs in transfer time and convenience for travelers connecting to São Paulo’s urban core.

New York is served by three main airports with different roles. John F. Kennedy International (JFK) functions as the city’s primary international hub, typically handling long-haul and many premium carriers alongside numerous global alliances; it’s about 15–20 miles from Midtown Manhattan, with the AirTrain plus subway taking roughly 50–70 minutes for a mid-range fare or shared rides/taxis often taking 40–60 minutes depending on traffic. LaGuardia (LGA) is largely a domestic and short-haul airport favored by budget and legacy US carriers; located about 8–10 miles from Midtown, it’s commonly reached in 20–40 minutes by taxi or rideshare, with buses and limited subway links offering cheaper, though sometimes slower, alternatives. Newark Liberty (EWR), situated in New Jersey roughly 16–20 miles from Midtown, is another major international gateway often used by both legacy and low-cost carriers; it’s typically accessed via NJ Transit or Amtrak in 30–40 minutes to Penn Station, or by car in 30–60 minutes depending on traffic and bridge/tunnel delays. Pros across the airports include multiple carrier choices and frequent services, while cons can be congestion, variable transfer times, and occasional higher fares for peak routes; travelers usually balance price, airline preference, and transit convenience when choosing which airport to use.
