AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
If your connection involves an international arrival, budget extra time for the Federal Police immigration queue, which can be slow and unpredictable.
Domestic-to-domestic connections on Azul are the smoothest, since Viracopos was built around Azul's hub-and-spoke wave schedule.
Signage is in Portuguese and English but the terminal is small enough that even first-time visitors can navigate it quickly on foot.
Baggage claim and customs must be cleared for any international arrival even if you're only transiting to a domestic flight, so factor that into your buffer.
Food and lounge options are limited compared to São Paulo's Guarulhos, so grab a meal before you need to rush to your gate.

Purely domestic-to-domestic transfers stay airside and re-screen only at the gate area, while any itinerary touching an international flight requires exiting through Federal Police immigration and Receita Federal customs before re-entering security to reach the domestic gates.
