Sao Paulo has the WORST traffic in the world IMO They offer chauffeur drive but you must be piekd up not less than 5 hours in advance if coming from downtoen... otherwise, no pickup On some OK days when traffic is not so bad you therefore see a long F and J line from approx 2115-to 2215 and then empty -- the flight departs at 0125 People grumble but when there is a prioblem ive known it take 4 hours plus so the airline has no choice --on those days you see the line at 0015 and a very nervous groundstaff trying to get the 14.5 hour bird boarded and ready to go on time!
