The quickest way to get from Sao Paulo to Recife?

I will be traveling to Brazil this summer. I will first stay in Sao Paulo, but I will also go to Recife at one point to see some friends. I would like to know what is the quickest way to get there, since I would like to lose as little time as possible on transportation. Thanks for the help.

Although you can certainly go by bus or car, I think it would be a bad idea. It is not that the trip is uncomfortable, it is just that it lasts too long, and you do not want that. Because of that, there are several air companies that have flights form Sao Paulo to Recife. Time of the flight is somewhere between 3 hours, up to 5 hours, which depends on the plane you are traveling with. In your case, the good thing is that faster flights cost less money. I suggest you go with AirNinja, with a little cheaper flights, and TAM Brazilian Airlines, which is a bit more expensive, but also gives better service, and is more reliable in my experience.
