Flights to Brazil?

    Heading to Brazil early next year, Porto Alegre but also Rio and some other places, does anyone know how to get the best price on a flight? I hear LKM do specials at €650 but they are way way more than that right now!

    I'm heading to Porto Alegre but want to fly home from Rio as we'll end up there. Are internal flights cheap?

    Any advice appreciated!

    Went last year with Air Europa. From Gatwick via Madrid. Worked out ok.

    Use Google Flights (powered by ITA Matrix) to get different route and pricing options across a timeframe (can get a matrix of 15-30 days at a time) and different airport options. There's a growing low cost carrier market in Brazil - Gol and Azul are two of the bigger ones - which I've used a number of times. When looking for flights, be careful not to be too specific, for example make sure to include both GIG and SDU (both Rio airports) to capture all options.

    Id be interested to hear your experiences with Air Europa. Have seen some very good deals out of Madrid but even more so out of Lisbon to Salvador in Brazil.. i think premium Economy return was under 700 Euros...

    The only complaint I would have of them is that they changed the flight dates/times a few times in the months before I travelled. I had it booked about 10 months in advance though.

    Thanks.. My plan is to hit Lisbon on Ryanair or Aer Lingus whichever is cheaper... Overnight in Lisbon and fly to Salvador the next day with Air Europa. That's if the prices stay consistent. At least it's too separate flights and the longest I'd be in the air would be not much more then 7 hours from Lisbon.. Doing 3 legs DUB-LHR/AMS-GIG/SDU-SSA without seeing a bed is just too much of a pain in the ass in my opinion seeing I'll be there only for 8 days.
