Guest tomcal Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 I just posted this in the thread on rio/porto alegre, but today I just booked L.A. to Sao Paulo for September for $663.00 R/T on American Airlines. That is the lowest price I have seen since in at least 10 or 11 years! Quote
paulsf Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 I lived in San Francisco before I retired and remembered many of the $600. fares to Rio. Then I get excited about moving to Ft.Lauderdale and the fares are consitantly in the $1500. range. It's such an easy overnight trip I planned on commuting weekends for fun. Then the high prices of hotels, money, food ect set in. Now it looks like the good old days and I'm ready to jump on it again. I'm and explat with American, so I know how fast fares can change. But I've been away for a month and need to get home this week, make sure life is still ok at home, and then hope a few of these fares are around. I'll jump on a few of them. lookin 1 Quote
Guest tomcal Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Besides the cheap fare from L.A. to Brazil, the inter Brazil fares are really cheap. When I land in Sao Paulo I catch a flight to Porto Alegre, that flight on GOL airlines for $95. my flight 4 days later also on GOL. from Porto Alegre to Rio is $55.00 and my flight from Rio to Sao Paulo on TAM airlines is $59.00. GOL airlines along with competitor TAM compete on all these routes so I usually have a mix depending which airline has the time I want.. Also there is Azul airlines(founded by the founder of Jet Blue) and I have flown them also usually from Rio's GIG airport to Porto Alegre. Both Rio and Sao Paulo have two airports, a city airport and a international one. Check prices for departures from both because there can be quite a difference in price! Sao Paulo also has a 3rd airport that is about a hour from the other two that Azul airlines as well as some international carriers use. Lagoa sauna is a about a 10 min taxi ride from the city airport (CGH) Congonhas. and 45 mins to a hour from the International airport(GRU)Guarulhos Quote
Guest tomcal Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Today the price fell from $663.00 to $571.00 LAX to Sao Paulo! I have kept my ticket on Hold because I have seen prices drop before but I can't believe it will go lower then this, so I just bought it! Quote
Valleyman Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Fares to Brazil continue to fall. I just placed a reservation on hold for a round trip in December from LAX to Sao Paulo on American for $452! lookin 1 Quote
Members TownsendPLocke Posted May 19, 2015 Members Posted May 19, 2015 This is getting crazy! I don't think AA/Delta will be making a penny on these cheap fares! http://thepointsguy.com/2015/05/aa-to-brazil/ Quote
Guest loganguydc Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 I am going to Rio over holiday weekend in May. I got it for $381 on American, but I have a crazy ass routing. DCA>JFK>YYZ>CLT>MIA>GIG. That fare is round-trip Quote
Guest loganguydc Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Today it got lower. $273 http://www.theflightdeal.com/2015/05/20/lan-273-423-new-york-miami-los-angeles-orlando-iguazu-falls-brazil-roundtrip-including-all-taxes/ Quote
Guest tomcal Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 The ticket I got yesterday on American Airlines for my Sept. trip for $456.00, today is $813, almost double...still a great price to what I have been paying the last 8 or 10 trips, usually around $1300. Quote
Members MsGuy Posted May 21, 2015 Members Posted May 21, 2015 Great timing, tomcal. I have no doubt that that extra $350 US will bring smiles to a lot of faces in Brazil. lookin 1 Quote
