Never mind that it took an hour and a half to get to GRU from The Renaissance hotel in the city centre. Plan ahead or you will miss your flight! The airport is run-down and not modern in any capacity. Security is very slow and it's not because they are thorough either. Most of the time they are talking to one another. I waited over 30 minutes to go through security for a 8PM flight to Toronto on Air Canada. Shopping selection is rather poor and expensive since all prices are in USD which they convert and charge in local currency. Then your credit card company charges you a foreign exchange fee of 2-3%. NOT WORTH IT. The Smiles airport lounge for premium travelers is also pretty tired and basic. Horrible food, service is non-existent.

It is not an ideal airport for the importance of Sao Paulo city. The local government should build a new state of art airport soon. The Brazilian Government spend a lot of money on government personnel. This is ridiculous, the amount of tax paid by the people and industries should be less and reversed to real and important infrastructure to the country in general.

Comments Over GRU
Airport works well during the day but it is a total chaos in the morning (5-9am) when 80 per cent of the international flights arrive in Sao Paulo and terrible after 7pm when most of the international flights leave Sao Paulo. Terminal 3 should have been built 10 years ago. The authorities should be worried about Terminal 3 and 4. Now I hear that the third runaway will never be added. They are killing an established airport, the busiest in the country. It will be a Gatwick one day!

Long Delays
The airport is OK, but everything takes a lot of time. Look for a very good handling agent with local contacts to save time.
