JesseFlew with United AirlinesEWR-GRUJan 2025
There aren’t a whole lot of options to fly from Newark to São Paulo, but I would fly LATAM from JFk over United. The service is so much better. The United flight attendants were indifferent to any passenger needs. Even asking for a water and a juice at the sane time seemed to annoy him saying “I don’t know where you will fit two drinks but here you go. Good luck.”

United Airlines is a good choice. I have no complaints at all. I liked Newark airport.
