Tips for 35 min Connections
Because it's a single terminal, focus your buffer time on immigration and security lines rather than walking distance.
If arriving internationally, expect a Federal Police queue that can be slow during peak evening arrival banks.
GOL and LATAM dominate the domestic schedule, so misconnections on these carriers are usually rebooked quickly at their transfer desks.
Check-in and bag drop counters are close to the gates, so even tight connections are more about queues than distance.
Late evening and early morning are the quietest windows for clearing security if you have flexibility.

Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
Getting Between Concourses
All operations run through one terminal building, so passengers simply walk between the domestic and international concourses — there is no train or shuttle. International arrivals must clear Federal Police passport control and, in most cases, a security re-screening before reaching the domestic side or boarding onward flights.
