Guarulhos (also known as Cumbica) is São Paulo's main international airport, 25km (15 miles) northeast of the centre. Almost all overseas flights stop here before continuing to other national destinations, including Rio.

Airport facilities include banks, bureaux de change and ATMs in both terminals, and a 24-hour post office in Terminal 1. Snack bars, restaurants, shops and duty-free are available, as are first aid facilities. There is a business centre on the departures floor of the admin building, together with conference facilities and VIP lounges. All major car hire firms have a desk at arrivals.

Taxis and regular buses serve both terminals. Transfer time is around 45 minutes, more in rush hour.
