Connecting from Azul to AA at GRU: through check baggage?
 

I am traveling SFO-LAX-GRU-REC and CNF-GRU-LAX-SFO in a few weeks on AA ticket on J. Latam changed the GRU-REC and CNF-GRU. My travel agent rebooked the GRU-REC on Gol which does not concern me that much since I have enough time to connect at GRU and I have to pick up and re-check my luggage for a domestic flight within Brazil. However the CNF-GRU is now on Azul - do you think I will be able to have my luggage checked in all the way to LAX - or I have to pick up and recheck at GRU - plenty of time to do so (3hr:30min) however it will be a hassle....

The answer is no. Azul does not interline to AA - however the connection at GRU was super efficient. Getting off the plane, picking up the luggage, taking the bus from terminal 1 to terminal 3 and re-checking in with AA took less than 30 min
