Ground transfer from CGH to GRU
Recently booked rewards ticket through Aircanada website from Rio (SDU) to YYZ. My connections included airport transfer at Sao Paulo (CGH to GRU).
SDU--->CGH (3.35hrs)--->GRU--->MTL--->YYZ.
I am wondering what are my options to change the earlier flight from SDU to CGH or to GRU or any insight how long it takes to transfer from CGH to GRU by taxi ?
SDU to CGH is Azul Airline.
Thanks in advance.

I would always book into GRU directly, if available, unless I had a six hour window.
What time of day would you arrive at CGH?

In Sao Paulo, everything that is related to road traffic is a guessing game. A bus or taxi from CGH to GRU usually takes about 40 minutes, but I've also sat in traffic for over two hours. If you have to pick up luggage at CGH, get ground transportation and check in again at GRU, 3 hours is pushing it.

As this thread is a question about ground transportation from one airport to another, and not actually a question about AC, I'm moving this to the Brazil forum.

With all this, you should be able to make it quite reliably in less than an hour (barring any unforeseen circumstances, of course).

By the time you're out of CGH, it'll be 7pm. That's the end of rush hour during a weekday but not bad on a Sunday. People come back from the beaches, but it's winter and that's more east-to-west traffic, while you're going north.

you can take 45min between both airports or 2h. It will be a gamble. If weekend and off rush hour, you can make it easily. If working day and rush hour, you'll need quite a bit of luck. And I'm not factoring accidents or other "unexpected" events leading to traffic jams

I think the main attraction for the kids will be playing on the beach or the pool, the views on Sugarloaf mountain and Corcovado are breathtaking, but I dont think the kids will like it as much as the adults.
