Private jet from Brazil to the US, Canada and Mexico: which aircraft flies non-stop to the 2026 World Cup cities

From São Paulo’s Guarulhos airport, Miami is about 6,600 km away and Vancouver about 11,000 km, and that distance decides the jet. A super-midsize such as the Praetor 600 reaches Miami non-stop; a Global 5500 covers most of the 16 cities that hosted the 2026 World Cup; and only ultra-long-range jets fly straight to the West Coast of the US and Canada. The table below matches distances to aircraft. Ranges are the manufacturer’s, under reference conditions; payload, wind and fuel reserves reduce real-world range (approx.).

Fuel stop or non-stop?

A refuelling stop adds about 1 hour on the ground but lets you use a smaller jet with a cheaper flight hour. For groups of up to 8 heading to the East Coast, a super-midsize with one stop can cost less than a long-range jet flying non-stop.

  • Common stops: Fortaleza, Recife, Belém or Caribbean islands, depending on the route.
  • Flying non-stop saves time and fatigue for trips with children or a tight schedule.
  • The final choice depends on the number of passengers, the luggage and seasonal winds.

Documents for entering the US, Canada and Mexico

  • US: Brazilians need a visa (usually B1/B2) and a valid passport.
  • Canada and Mexico have their own rules for Brazilians, which may require a visa or an electronic authorisation depending on the case; check before you travel.
  • The operator sends passenger data to the authorities before the flight; for the US, through the eAPIS system.
  • Immigration is cleared at the first airport of entry, which must have customs.
