Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between CGH and GRU?
Congonhas (CGH) is São Paulo's downtown domestic-only airport, 8 km from the center, while Guarulhos (GRU) is the larger international hub about 25 km out. CGH suits short business hops to Rio, Brasília and Belo Horizonte. Flightmussy's multi-airport origin filter searches CGH, GRU and Campinas (VCP) together.
Which airlines fly from Congonhas?
CGH's slot-controlled schedule is dominated by LATAM, Gol and Azul on domestic trunk routes. The Rio-São Paulo air bridge to Santos Dumont is the airport's signature service, with departures every 15-30 minutes during peak hours. Flightmussy compares all three carriers' fares side by side without an account.
When is the cheapest week to fly from CGH?
Slot scarcity keeps Congonhas fares structurally higher than GRU for many routes, but mid-week off-peak flights in February, May and August tend to be cheapest. Flightmussy's 12-month fare heatmap surfaces the cheapest week across the entire year so you don't have to click through Google Flights date by date.
How far is Congonhas Airport from central São Paulo?
CGH is about 8 km south of São Paulo's center in the Vila Congonhas neighborhood, roughly 20-30 minutes by car when traffic permits. Metro line 5 (Lilás) connects to the area at São Judas and Conceição stations. Ride-hail and taxis are abundant outside the single passenger terminal.
