Zurich Airport (ZRH) functions as Switzerland’s main international gateway and a well-equipped hub for full-service carriers as well as some regional and low-cost operators. It typically handles the majority of long-haul and European connections, with Swiss International Air Lines prominent among carriers. The airport sits about 10–13 km north of Zurich’s city center; rail is usually the fastest option with S-Bahn trains taking around 10–15 minutes and regional express services slightly faster, fares typically in the low single-digit CHF range. Taxis and ride-hailing can be 15–25 minutes depending on traffic and cost more. Pros: efficient transfers, extensive amenities and good onward connections. Cons: can be pricier and busier at peak times compared with smaller regional airports.

São Paulo is served by three main airports with different roles. São Paulo–Guarulhos (GRU) is the primary international hub, handling most long-haul and major carrier flights and usually offering the widest range of international connections; it sits about 25–30 km northeast of central São Paulo and can take 40–70 minutes by car depending on traffic. Airport taxis, app rides and the Airport Express bus are common (fares typically higher than city buses), while the CPTM/Metro connection via the Airport-Guarulhos Express or regular rail can take around 40–60 minutes at lower cost. Congestion and longer transfer times can be a drawback, though GRU tends to have more amenities and international lounges. Congonhas (CGH) is São Paulo’s domestic workhorse, positioned closer to downtown (around 8–10 km south) and typically favoured for short-haul business and regional flights. Travel to the city centre can be quick—around 20–40 minutes by taxi or rideshare when traffic is light; buses and airport shuttles offer cheaper options. Airlines operating here often focus on high-frequency domestic routes, and fares can sometimes be higher for last-minute business-peak services. The main plus is convenience and proximity, while noise limits and space constraints can make it less comfortable for long layovers. Viracopos (VCP), near Campinas and roughly 90–110 km northwest of central São Paulo, functions as a secondary international and cargo-focused airport and can be a budget-friendly alternative for some low-cost carriers and charter services. Ground transfers typically take 1.5–2 hours by car or bus, with shuttle and intercity bus services available at lower fares but longer travel times. VCP can offer cheaper options on certain routes and less crowded facilities, but the longer transfer to São Paulo proper means it’s best suited for travelers prioritizing price over immediacy.
