Concierge & Airport Services — Rio de Janeiro

Rio's city-centre airport, on the bay beside downtown. Met at the gate for the São Paulo shuttle and domestic flights.

Santos Dumont Airport (SDU) sits on Guanabara Bay in the centre of Rio de Janeiro, minutes from downtown and the Sugarloaf, and handles domestic flights only — above all the São Paulo shuttle to Congonhas and services to Brasília, Belo Horizonte and the south. There is no immigration here; what a greeter saves you is the check-in and security queue at peak hours and the walk with your bags. Our Santos Dumont meet & assist gives you a greeter who speaks English and Portuguese from the arrival gate to the kerb — help with hand luggage, help at the baggage belt and a handover to your driver — and from the kerb through check-in and security to your gate on departure. Priced per passenger, per direction, in US dollars, all-inclusive, and booked online at least 48 hours ahead. For an international arrival into Rio, see Rio Galeão (GIG).
