This checklist is for anyone flying from Guarulhos (GRU) or Viracopos (VCP). Baggage rules vary by airline and fare, so always check the rules for your ticket.
Documents
Valid photo ID; for international flights, a passport and visa if required by your destination. Boarding pass on your phone or printed. Parking reservation confirmation if you are driving.
Packing
Check the weight and size limits for your fare. Liquids in carry-on baggage are subject to airport security rules. Keep any regular medication, your charger and documents in your carry-on.
Before leaving home
Check your terminal and flight time in the airline's app, allow for traffic to the airport and leave extra time for parking and check-in.
Where to park
Compare the total cost of your stay before booking. On Xpark, you can see parking options at Guarulhos and Viracopos side by side, with prices and the date they were collected, and use the calculator for your trip.
