San Francisco to São Paulo. Each plane flies its whole trip, connection included, at one steady pace. Typical one-stop times, not the best case: the middle of the three fastest options through each city on each day, from Google Flights, checked October 2026. The nonstop time is an estimate.

What every connection costs you:

  • A second security line.
  • One delay and you miss the overnight flight.
  • You land having lost most of a day.

How it works

  1. 1

    You add your trips.

    About a minute. It is not a ticket and not a promise to buy one.

  2. 2

    We add them up.

    People and companies, each counted once.

  3. 3

    The airports take it to the airlines.

    SFO and GRU bring the totals to the airlines. Real numbers are what make a route happen.

Questions

Is this a commitment?

No. You are telling us how many trips you would take, not buying anything. You never have to buy a ticket, and you can change or delete your pledge at any time.

Who is behind this?

A small group of people who fly between the Bay Area and São Paulo and are tired of connecting. We are not an airline or an airport. We will say more about who we are soon.

What happens to my data?

We add your numbers to the totals we share with SFO, GRU and the airlines. We do not sell your data. Company numbers are never published. Ask us and we delete your pledge. The privacy page has the details.
