Cheap flights from Katowice to Sao Paulo

March is the cheapest month on this route, so if your dates are flexible, aim for the tail of the Brazilian summer rather than the European holiday peak. The fare calendar runs through the autumn and winter months into March and picks up again in May, which puts the quiet stretch between the New Year rush and the spring school breaks. Midweek departures usually give you more choice than a Friday or Sunday, and leaving Pyrzowice early in the day leaves room for a connection. Avoid Carnival and the Christmas and New Year weeks unless you book well ahead, because those are the dates when seats on this route go first.

Wizz Air is the low-cost name on this route and the one to watch if you travel with hand luggage only. LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, Swiss, Air Dolomiti, Turkish Airlines, Delta Air Lines and American Airlines are the full-service carriers here, with Hahn Air also showing up in results. Non-stop options exist, but many fares involve a change, and where you change depends on the airline: the European carriers route you through their own hubs, while Delta and American usually mean a longer way round. What is included differs by fare rather than by airline, so check whether a checked bag and seat choice come with the ticket before you compare totals.

Sao Paulo has three airports and they are not interchangeable. Guarulhos International handles most long-haul arrivals and sits outside the city, so plan a road transfer, an airport bus or the rail link into the metro rather than a quick taxi hop. Congonhas is the city airport, close to the centre and convenient if your plans are in Sao Paulo itself. Viracopos is away in Campinas, well beyond the city limits, and needs a longer transfer by bus or car. Whichever one your ticket names, know it before you arrange a transfer, and expect immigration at Guarulhos to move slowly at peak arrival times.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which Sao Paulo airport your fare lands at, because Congonhas, Guarulhos and Viracopos are far apart and a transfer between them eats a day.
• Confirm that your Katowice departure is from Pyrzowice and work out how you will get there before an early flight.
• If you pair a low-cost Wizz Air leg with a long-haul ticket on a separate booking, leave a generous connection and read the baggage rules on both.
• Check passport validity and entry requirements for Brazil before you pay, not after.
• Book early if your dates fall around Carnival or the Christmas and New Year weeks.
• Compare March with the months either side, since March is the cheapest month on this route.
