Just thought I'd save these for posterity. We don't really have many non SQ Trip reports so i thought one or two of you might find this interesting.
Had to fly once from CGH (Sao Paulo Congonhas), which is the city airport and much smaller than GRU (Sao Paulo Guarulhos) which is where the international flights depart from, to POA (Porto Alegre), capital of the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul. I had a choice of Varig, TAM or Gol. Whilst I was dying to ride TAM at the time, the allure of *A miles kept me there. Since it was also one class domestic, I thought I'd at least fly *A for lounge access.
Outside view
Congonhas is extremely crowded, which of course, is a function of the size of Sao Paulo - i.e MASSIVE! They did have a renovation not so long ago, which made it pleasant enough though.
And where are the pics of the lounge? There are none, cause I couldn't find it. Maybe it didn't exist. So I sat outside and watched people instead.
Boarding is done by airstairs. I think they're slowly converting them to airbridges, but in the meantime, yay!. Here's my ride PT-SSQ
Some more renovation going on in the background
Planes lining up for takeoff. It's super busy!

I'm glad you're a more intrepid spirit, SQfg.
