DEN-ORD-GRU-FOR
DEN-EWR-GRU-FOR
Assume same price, similar connection times, etc. Flights to be taken mid-Feb.
Thanks!
I am in Brazil, 4 or 5 times per year and fly via ORD to GRU. Several reasons:
- the ORD flight is longer and gives me more time to sleep as opposed to IAH.
- I think the available domestic connections are better from GRU
- Customs and security at GRU are usually well staffed and efficient.
Of course these are just my personal preferences/opinions. I prefer either LATAM or Gol for connections as opposed to Azul due to Azul requiring a transfer via bus to a separate terminal. Lastly, layovers at least for me going and coming from VIX have been very long each way due to fewer flights being offered post-covid.
Hope this is helpful
