International flights: how do you get into Brazil?

Mauricio Travels only offers domestic flights to destinations like: Rio de Janeiro, Salvador de Bahia, Recife, Fortaleza, Manaus, Brasilia, Iguaçu, ..

Most international flights from Europe and the US land at the international airports of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Recife or Salvador, where there are connecting flights to most other major Brazilian cities. Rio and São Paulo both have major international airports, as well as airports closer to the city centre which are used for the 55 minute air-shuttle between the two cities and a number of other regional services. Rio’s airports are Galeão (GIG) for international and Santos Dumont (SDU) for the shuttle; while São Paulo’s are Guarulhos (GRU) for international and Congonhas (CGH) for the shuttle.

The international departure tax is currently $36 (approx. £25).

From Europe: Flight time from Europe to São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro is just over eleven hours depending on your starting point and less than nine hours to Fortaleza, Recife and Salvador. Most flights leave from Europe in the evening and arrive early morning in Rio de Janeiro or São Paulo. On the return leg they leave late afternoon or early evening to get to Europe the following day around lunchtime or earlier.
