Rio de Janeiro–Galeão International Airport, popularly known as Galeão International Airport, is the main airport serving Rio, but Santos Dumont Airport is an important secondary option.

- Travelers landing at Santos Dumont Airport have the option of taking the VLT, Rio’s light rail line, straight from the airport to a number of stops across the city. And if the light rail isn’t your preferred mode of transport, there are also taxi, shuttle, and bus options available at Santos Dumont Airport.
- Worried about food poisoning during your time in Brazil? It never hurts to play it safe, so why not stop off at one of the pharmacies in Galeão International Airport. One can be found on the first floor and there is another on the third floor by the food court. At either location, you can find any basic medical and first-aid supplies you might need, from band-aids to headache medicine.

Airline reviews
All the service was very good. The only thing was that the flight was delayed. We didn't miss the connection, but other passangers were about to.
All the service was very good. The only thing was that the flight was delayed. We didn't miss the connection, but other passangers were about to.
Pros: "I loved that even during a pandemic, alcohol in glassware and full meals were served in business class (unlike other airlines, so I avoided them). The lighting looked nice, the crew was professional and attentive, and the bathroom was well maintained. The blanket and pillow were comfy as well. I like the 1-2-1 layout in business class, which leaves window seats with a lot of windows and privacy."
Cons: "The headphones were not the most comfortable, sometimes the passenger moving around behind you will shake your seat too, and before take-off the plane was quite hot. Also a lot of the food choices I wanted were gone already but not a big deal as there were many choices."
Cons: "Two hours stuck at gate with no information. Info on site and at airport on baggage costs different. Left bag behind to fit more cargo. Two days and haven’t delivered bag."
Pros: "TV screens on the back of seat"
Cons: "TV screen stopped working mid-flight. Long wait at gate"
Pros: "Crew was good but seat very tide for big people. Many close to me not well distributed."
Cons: "Space"
Cons: "Bad size almost became a problem... bins are very small"
Pros: "2 seats, not 3, in this part of Economy"
Cons: "The bag check price info on the website was completely wrong... At the airport, they asked for USD 100, not USD 30 as the website indicated. Ended up lugging the (heavy) cabin size bag..."
Pros: "Same comments as before: comfortable airplane, good food and friendly crew."
Cons: "There was a long delay in the connection at Viracopos/Campinas: technical problem with the airplane. I arrived approximately 1 hour late in Curitiba (past midnight)."
Cons: "Plane was dirty, it took flight attendants 1.5 hour to start service after take-off."
Pros: "We got all of our bags! No lines. Smooth sailing"
Pros: "The flight from EWR to MSP was extremely quiet. No loud engine noises."
Cons: "We were vert disappointed at the Newark Airport - the Delta Club was closed and there had been no notification prior to arriving at the airport. I certainly missed that early morning coffee."
Pros: "crew was exceptionally kind and helpful. I felt they really cleaned up, sanitized, even participated sanitary clothes and hand sanitizer to everyone."
Cons: "Nothing, perfect. better than expected."
Pros: "Not one of my good experiences with Delta. Two hours delay in the flight"
Cons: "Information on the flight delay as communication was. at least very poor. Also A 220 was ok but First Class was so so"
Pros: "Super friendly staff, great service and delicious food. The competition has nothing compared to Delta. We’re switching"
Pros: "The crew was very attentive and had great personality. They anticipated any needs we had."
Pros: "The crew is always smiling and ready to help you and I really like that."
Cons: "Really packed together seats...more room. Crew spoke very loudly on plane...jarring"
Pros: "Horrible delay with unruly customers on the plane. But the flight attendants did great handling them"
Cons: "sat on the tarmac for 3 hours because the pilot was late."
Pros: "I loved being upgraded to first class and the crew was so attentive."
Cons: "Nothing, glad this was a better experience than the trip to Miami."
Pros: "That there was seltzer"
Cons: "The management of preparing the flight and plane so that it was ready for the trip!!"
Pros: "Crew was great. Seat not super comfortable, worn out support. Entertainment very limited for five hour flight. One movie option playing on shared screens. A kid movie."
Cons: "More comfy seats and entertainment options. Crew, however, was excellent."
Cons: "The seats are very tight, no tv, the rest of it wonderful"
Pros: "The crew was amazing."
Cons: "A better movie and the check in was grueling. They did not have enough staff and one person spent 30 minutes helping someone repack at the check-in desk while we all waited. Pretty unacceptable."
Pros: "Business class. Seat was comfy. Reclined quite a bit. Food was great. Staff was not very happy or helpful tho compared to other business class flights I’ve done. Movie selection was not good at all. Very dated. 4 new releases."
Cons: "Staff was not very happy or helpful tho compared to other business class flights I’ve done. Movie selection was not good at all. Very dated. 4 new releases."
Pros: "Crews were helpful. Seats are comfortable enough."
Cons: "Foods could have been better. But, all airlines foods are pretty bad."
Cons: "They tend to be very sensationalist with the people sitting on the exit road. It would be nice to have some food for the people that are vegetarian, something; just don’t ignore them and continue walking. This happened in both flights. Not even chips. Nothing."
Pros: "Boarding process, inflight service"
Cons: "Flight was canceled, was booked on flight 812, that flight was also canceled. I didn’t get to Quito until 24 hours later. Customer service was terrible in terms of providing accurate information to passengers."
Pros: "Good price compared to direct flight on United"
Cons: "The check in process..there seems to be no benefit in doing the early check in online because there is only one Copa attendant helping the premium and early check in customers while there are four Copa attendants helping the regular check in customers and that line moves twice as fast! Seems idiotic"
Cons: "When the flight was delayed, we would’ve like to have a better explanation of what was happening"
Pros: "The crew was attentive"
Cons: "The aircraft needs better maintenance. My table was tilted and the seatbelt was twisted"
Pros: "Absolutely nothing"
Cons: "Even though there were flight/seats available, Avianca did not make them availability to flight changes and only for new reservations. Extremely disappointed at you fraudulent business practices."
Cons: "I'm tall and I hace no problems because there is a lot of space between files"
Pros: "The attention of the staff and punctuality at the departures"
Cons: "The food"
Cons: "1. Crew space up front with bright lights most of flight 2. Seats did not lay down on a flat bed. Longest length to fly and worse seats. I was better off with four seats on economy to lay down with my son."
Pros: "I will never fly this airline again."
Cons: "We got our flight bumped back 5 hours simply because they decided to use a different plane. The food vouchers were VERY limited, only for a burger (and I'm vegetarian). The 100.000 COP flight voucher only valid at travel agency, not online. This airline's a joke"
Pros: "Have traveled many times and when we have troubles/complications always find a solution, thank you"
Cons: "So far nothing, everything is spectacular"
Pros: "The flight was short."
Cons: "The seat was uncomfortable and did not recline. The movie was not accesible. Regardless of the confirmation, due to not been able to do the check in I lost my seat and was standby because Avianca sold more seats that what they had. I believe Avianca should keep a more international menu."
Pros: "Seats comfort"
Cons: "Crew attention. Food. Airport assistance. Boarding times. Take off on time"
Pros: "Entertainment system, boarding"
Cons: "Bogotá Avianca baggage handling. It took 45 minutes to get the bags"
Pros: "The flight crew & the flight itself was great."
Cons: "The flight was delayed by 4 hours. Not only did I miss my connecting flight, but I also missed my rescheduled flight. I had to wait another 7 hours in the airport waiting for a flight. And due to this I missed an important meeting."
Pros: "Great crew, food, entertainment and drinks."
Cons: "Only thing that could be improved is comfort. They provide a small pillow and blanket, but even with those, it is very difficult to sleep."
Cons: "On our layover in Munich, we were at our gate, then noticed about 30 minutes prior to boarding that they’d moved us to another gate quite far away, so we hurried to the new gate, only to discover the change was an error, and we had to run back to our original gate. Made it, but annoyed."
Cons: "The flight was delayed several times and we were kept waiting at the gate without knowing when exactly we will leave."
Pros: "This space intentionally left blank"
Cons: "For starters, they sat my 12 year old daughter 6 rows away and both of us in center seats so no one would switch with us. Mid flight, my daughter asked to switch with me since the guy next to her kept asking personal questions and was making her uncomfortable. Second, the in flight entertainment did not work. Third, I had pre-ordered a diabetic meal, they “think they may have given it to someone else.” Fourth, one hour delay making for a tight connection. And finally... they lost my suitcase. Should arrive in a few days."
Pros: "The efficiency and kindness of the flight attendants made the trip enjoyable. The water service really helped with dehydration. Also, the food was EXCELLENT, which you don't often hear on a flight. My seat was comfortable and the movie and television selections was great. Will ABSOLUTELY fly with them again!"
Pros: "Friendly flight attendants, good wine, good entertainment (which I actually don't watch), beautiful airplane, A 340, especially the downstairs restrooms."
Cons: "Very uncomfortable seats, minimal leg room, mediocre food."
Pros: "The staff was good to me when I became ill on the flight with a migraine."
Cons: "When I paid for my seat in advance it said I had an exit row, but when I got on the flight it was not. The food was also horrible."
Cons: "Pathetic food, and really rude crew by the standards of an international flight."
Cons: "The food was a bit over cooked and dry but overall excellent service."
