Chicago to São Paulo in business.
United is the only airline flying O’Hare to São Paulo nonstop, a daily overnight of roughly ten hours. Without it, the one-stop alternatives go through Houston or Newark with United, Miami or Dallas with American, or Atlanta with Delta.
Three things worth knowing.
What our specialists check before they price MIA to GRU.
Carnival in February or March, the December holidays and the July school break are the tightest weeks in the business cabin. The northbound flights fill around the same dates. Weekday business demand keeps the route busy the rest of the year.
- When to fly
- Carnival in February or March, the December holidays and the July school break are the tightest weeks in the business cabin. The northbound flights fill around the same dates. Weekday business demand keeps the route busy the rest of the year.
- The airports
- United leaves from O’Hare’s Terminal 1, with its Polaris lounge, and lands at Guarulhos Terminal 3. Guarulhos is about 25 kilometres north-east of the centre. Paulista or Faria Lima can take anywhere from 45 minutes to two hours by road, which is why helicopter transfers are common there.
- The seat to want
- United flies the Chicago route on the Boeing 787 with Polaris business seats, flat beds with direct aisle access. The newest Polaris Studio suites are going onto United’s Houston–São Paulo flights rather than the Chicago one, so don’t book this route expecting the new cabin.
