Abstract: In this note we reduce the problem of geodesic connectedness in a wide class of G"odel type spacetimes to the search of critical points of a functional naturally involved in the study of geodesics in standard static spacetimes. Then, by using some known accurate results on the latter, we improve previous results on the former.
