GRU intl->domestic, one ticket, collection of luggage?
I searched for an answer to my doubts but found different opinions, so I hope you'll help me to clarify the situation.
I'll arrive to GRU (T3) on AC flight from YYZ and will have next flight on AV to IGU (from T2) on the same ticket. My question is, if my luggage will be checked through in YYZ to final destination (IGU)? Some say I'll have to collect it after arrival to GRU and then take it with me from T3 to T2 in order to check it again for my domestic AV flight to IGU. What are your experiences?

If your flight is on time, you should be OK. Most international flights arrive at T-3, but a few arrive at a part of T-2. In either case, you have to claim any checked luggage and recheck it. There are recheck counters for the domestic airlines outside of Customs. Clearing security for domestic flights is normally pretty smooth in my experience. Even if a good size line, it moves along well.

Is it still collect and re-check baggage?
Does it matter the airline (KLM > GOL)?
Is there any SkyPriority queue for the recheck in area?

As for priority, only priority I recall seeing on recheck is the Brazilian version, which is for people over 60, pregnant women, handicapped, etc.

Yes, they will check the luggage thru to your final domestic destination, but you still need to collect it and go thru customs and then recheck it. I have done this many many times arriving international and then GRU-VIX on GOL, LATAM and Azul.
