Is 1½ hours enough for a transit at São Paulo (GRU) airport?

score:3

Accepted answer

If you bought it on one ticket then yes, it is sufficient time or it would not have been sold to you (alright perhaps I am an optimist!). Your luggage will be through-checked to CDG, if on one ticket.

(If it is on two tickets it should still be possible to arrange for it to be through-checked and to pick up your GRU-CDG boarding pass at FOR. However I would not advise buying your tickets this way.)

You haven't said which airport it is (São Paulo has two), but since you are flying to Paris on TAM I conclude it is Guarulhos (GRU).

The minimum connect time at GRU for domestic to international (D/I) is 1 hour:

STANDARD.D/D...D/I...I/D...I/I.
ONLINE   1.00  1.00  1.30  1.00
OFFLINE  1.00  1.00  1.30  1.00

(There are some exceptions, but your flights are not in the list.)

There is a terminal change going from terminal 2 to terminal 3. Unfortunately, I think you will have to re-clear security at terminal 3—perhaps someone can confirm this?
