Cheap Flights from Sao Paulo to Santa Cruz — $142

Sao Paulo is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. São Paulo–Guarulhos (GRU) is the city’s primary international gateway and a hub for full-service carriers; it typically handles long-haul and regional flights and can be pricier than domestic options. Located about 25–35 km northeast of downtown, travel by airport bus or taxi can take 30–60 minutes depending on traffic, with express bus fares and ride-share/taxi costs varying by provider. Congonhas (CGH) functions as the busy domestic/business airport closer to the city center (around 8–10 km), usually favored by budget and regional carriers for short-haul routes; transfers to central areas are often 15–30 minutes by taxi or metro+bus, generally cheaper but can be crowded at peak times. Pros: GRU offers extensive international connections and more amenities; CGH is convenient for quick city access. Cons: GRU journeys can be longer and affected by traffic; CGH has limited long-haul options and can be noisy and busy.
