Airport Expert

São Paulo's evening rush hour is one of the most chaotic in the world.

So if you're travelling to the airport for night flights to Europe and North America, leave yourself plenty of time.

Communication can be challenging at this airport - some of the staff speak only a little English, so a Portuguese travel phrase book will be useful.

Travelers report that information screens are few and far between; make sure you note the locations so you can keep an eye on your boarding details.

Healthy Travel Tip

Check what vaccinations you need before travelling to Brazil. There has been a history of yellow fever in the country, as well as other health concerns. Take steps to avoid mosquito bites and ask for no ice in your drinks.
