So in October I'll be transiting thru GRU (I hope, at least). So I'll be arriving in GRU on United flight from ORD-GRU in biz class @ 9:30AM. I have not done so yet, but I'm highly considering booking an onward flight from GRU-EZE. The connection would be on Air Canada and it departs @ 11:45AM. I'll be in Prem Economy on the AC flight, and will have carry-on luggage only, US Passport holder. This assumes, of course, that the United flight is on time but if so, is 2:15 mins too tight a connection? I'd welcome any thoughts and thank you. Safe travels everyone!

I do intl-intl fairly frequently at GRU. Evrything should be fine if your incoming flight is on time.
Try and do online check-in for the AC flight as this will make things much easier..

Thanks for replying. I appreciate it. Sad that the airport was so desolate but glad it still makes for an easy transit. Be well!
