When to fly
June brings milder weather and longer daylight hours at the destination, which is also when prices tend to drop. September through November sees fewer travellers before the peak season begins. Book during weekdays rather than weekends if your schedule allows it. The Christmas period and school holidays in Brazil push fares higher regardless of how early you plan ahead.
Airlines and what to expect
TAP Portugal routes passengers through Lisbon, adding a connection but offering European network benefits. LATAM Airlines and Latam Airlines Brasil operate direct services between the same airports with full-service amenities. Azul and GOL Linhas Aereas S.A. provide low-cost options where seats are priced separately from meals and baggage allowances.
