Can I make a 1 hour 15 min connection at GRU on an international flight?
1 hour 15 min is below the 90-minute international MCT at Guarulhos. You may need to rush and could miss your connection. Terminals 2 and 3 are physically connected by an extended landside/airside walkway with moving sidewalks, taking about 15-20 minutes on foot. Terminal 1 is a separate building reached only by a free inter-terminal shuttle bus that runs every 10-15 minutes and takes 10-20 minutes depending on traffic and waiting time. International arrivals from any terminal must clear Policia Federal immigration and collect bags through customs before re-entering the secure zone, even for onward international flights.
What happens if I miss my connection at GRU?
LATAM and GOL have dedicated transfer/rebooking desks in the terminal 3 international arrivals and connections area; if you miss a connection, head there directly rather than the general check-in counters, as staff can rebook you onto the next available flight, often same-day given high frequency on domestic trunk routes.
