São Paulo–Guarulhos International Airport (GRU) is the city’s primary international gateway and a major South American hub, typically serving full-service carriers and many long-haul flights. It sits about 25–30 km northeast of downtown São Paulo, with travel times to the city center usually ranging from 40 minutes by taxi to around an hour by airport bus; train and metro connections can take longer depending on transfers. Fares are often higher than for domestic airports, especially for taxis or ride-hailing during peak times. Pros: extensive international connections and wide service options; cons: busy terminals and potentially longer waits at immigration and security. São Paulo–Congonhas Airport (CGH) functions mainly as a domestic/business airport, typically used by full-service and some low-cost domestic carriers for short-haul flights. Located roughly 8 km south of downtown, it’s usually the fastest option for business travelers, with taxi rides of about 20–30 minutes and city buses or short metro+bus combos slightly longer; fares are generally moderate for short trips. Pros: close to central districts and quick transfers; cons: limited international routes and frequent congestion during peak hours, which can cause delays and noise in surrounding neighborhoods. Viracopos International Airport (VCP), near Campinas about 90–100 km northwest of São Paulo, often operates as a mixed-use airport with cargo prominence and a growing slate of domestic and some international flights, sometimes favored by low-cost carriers for lower fees. Travel to São Paulo can take 1–1.5 hours by car or airport shuttle, depending on traffic; shuttle and bus fares are commonly lower than direct airport taxis or ride services. Pros: often less crowded and cost-competitive for certain carriers; cons: significant distance from central São Paulo and longer ground transfer times, which can offset lower airfare savings. Sao Paulo–Campo de Marte (SSZ) is a smaller, general aviation airport in the northern part of the metropolitan area, typically serving private flights, pilot training, and helicopter services rather than scheduled commercial airlines. It’s about 7–12 km from northern downtown neighborhoods, often reachable in 20–40 minutes by car depending on traffic; public transport options can be limited. Pros: convenient for private and charter operations with lower congestion; cons: not suitable for commercial airline travelers and lacking typical passenger amenities and scheduled connections.

Fly nonstop from São Paulo to Tokyo for the fastest, most convenient way to bridge Brazil and Japan — fewer hassles, no long layovers, and more time to enjoy your destination. While connecting flights can sometimes be cheaper, choosing a direct service saves valuable travel time and offers a more comfortable, stress-free journey worth the upgrade.

Tokyo is served primarily by two airports with different roles. Narita International (NRT) functions as the main international gateway for long-haul and many full-service carriers, while Haneda (HND) has grown into a major international and domestic hub favored by full-service airlines and some low-cost carriers. Narita sits about 60–70 km east of central Tokyo; express trains take roughly 60–80 minutes and buses or shared shuttles can take 75–120 minutes depending on traffic, with fares typically falling into a moderate range. Haneda is much closer, around 15–20 km south of downtown; the airport is usually reachable by train or monorail in 15–30 minutes and by taxi in 20–40 minutes, with fares reflecting shorter distance. Narita can be perceived as more budget-friendly for long-haul flights but less convenient for central access, while Haneda is often preferred for convenience and shorter transfer times. Both airports offer extensive ground-transport options, multiple terminal services, and a range of eateries and lounges, so travelers can weigh cost versus convenience when choosing between them.
