Brazillian main airlines (2)
GOL
GOL was created as the first
low-cost carrier in Brazil. Of course, it changed the industry in Brazil, but
prices aren´t necessarily the best.
GOL stopped serving meals for free,
but recently it has announced this service will be retaken. So far, you have to
pay for sandwiches and snacks, just water is for free.
GOL flies outside Brazil just to
south-american countries (Caracas, Montevideo, Buenos Aires, Cordoba) and has
flights to the US stopping in the Caribbean (Santo Domingo) or in Venezuela
(Caracas). It doesn´t flies to Europe.
Nevertheless, GOL has agreements
with Delta and Air France, so it´s possible to fly domestic GOL flights, as a
complement of international flights bought in the websites of those companies.
GOL has a fleet of boeings 737-700/800
mostly.
It´s fidelity program is “Smiles” (www.smiles.com.br), which was inherited
from Varig, the old international Brazillian carrier which has bankrupted. Gol
bought what was left from Varig, and maintained its milleage program.
Nevertheless, GOL didn´t preserve
the name and the international flights that Varig had.
GOL operates mostly from São Paulo
international (GRU, Terminal 1) and domestic (CGH), Rio international (GIG) and
domestic (SDU), Belo Horizonte (CNF) and Brasília (BSB).
