Cheap flights from Newcastle to Rio De Janeiro

Demand follows the calendar in both directions. The destination's summer, the Christmas period and school breaks push fares up, while quieter windows between them are where the lower fares tend to sit. May is the cheapest month on this route according to the price data on this page, and fares are shown for October through May. If your dates are flexible, check the price calendar before settling on a month.

Connections shape everything here. Air France and HOP! route you through Paris, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and KLM Cityhopper through Amsterdam, British Airways via London, and Emirates through its Middle East hub, before LATAM Airlines or another carrier covers the South American leg. Easyjet is the low-cost option on the European portion, so check what its fare includes, since checked bags and extras usually cost more. Full-service carriers typically include baggage and meals, which matters on a trip this long.

You land at Rio De Janeiro International or Santos Dumon, depending on where your last leg terminates. The international airport sits further out from the centre, while Santos Dumon is close to downtown and handy if your final destination is there. Taxis, app-based rides and buses serve both airports; allow extra time at peak hours. Check which airport your ticket names before you arrange onward transport.
