Tokyo is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Narita (NRT), located about 60–70 km east of central Tokyo, typically functions as the main international gateway for long-haul and many full-service carriers; journeys to downtown take roughly 60–90 minutes by the Narita Express or 60–120 minutes by limousine bus, with fares often in the moderate-to-high range compared with local transit. Haneda (HND), much closer at about 15–20 km south of central Tokyo, usually handles a mix of domestic flights and increasing international services, and is often perceived as more convenient and quicker to reach—around 15–30 minutes by monorail or train or 30–60 minutes by taxi, with fares varying by route. Pros: Narita offers extensive long-haul options and airline choice; Haneda provides fast access to the city and frequent connections. Cons: Narita can mean longer transfers and higher surface-transport costs; Haneda may be busier for domestic travelers and sometimes pricier for peak transfers.

Guarulhos–Governador André Franco Montoro International Airport (GRU) is São Paulo’s main international gateway and a full-service hub for long-haul and regional carriers, typically handling most intercontinental flights and flag-carrier connections. It’s located about 25–30 km northeast of downtown (roughly 40–60 minutes by car depending on traffic). Ground options include the Airport Express/rail link and regular airport buses, plus taxis and app-based rides; travel times commonly range from 40 minutes to over an hour and fares vary with service type. GRU usually offers extensive passenger facilities and many airline lounges, but can feel busy during peak periods and transfer times, and transit times to the city can be affected by heavy traffic. São Paulo–Congonhas Airport (CGH) serves mainly domestic and short-haul flights and is typically used by full-service and low-cost carriers operating high-frequency routes to other Brazilian cities. Located very close to the city center (about 8–10 km south of downtown, often a 20–40 minute drive), it’s convenient for business travelers seeking short transfers. Ground transport includes taxis, ride-hailing and local buses; journey times are usually under an hour depending on congestion. Congonhas can be a quicker option for intra-Brazil travel, but it can feel hectic at peak times and has limited long-haul connections and fewer international amenities compared with the larger international airport. São Paulo–Viracopos International Airport (VCP) in Campinas is a regional international and cargo-oriented facility that can be a budget-friendly alternative for some international or domestic itineraries, especially low-cost and charter services. It sits roughly 90–110 km northwest of central São Paulo (about 1–1.5 hours by car from the city depending on traffic and route). Transport options include express bus services, intercity shuttles, taxis and car hire; travel times and fares vary by operator. Viracopos typically offers less congestion and good cargo handling, but it can require a longer transfer to central São Paulo and has fewer frequent passenger services compared with the city’s main international hub.
