A good time for Brazil

A good time for (travelling to) Brazil

The devaluation of the Brazillian Real (BRL) is a good oportunity to foreign travellers come to the country. Now the exchange rate is around R$3.8 for each dollar, making prices really low, speacially for north-americans and europeans.

Brazillian Main Airlines (4)

AVIANCA

www.avianca.com.br

Avianca started operating in Brazil as a small carrier. Nowadays it has a fleet of new A319 and A320, all with flight entertainment. The food is the best among domestic flights.

Its flights can now earn points for LIFE MILES milleage program, which is used in AVIANCA International and Copa Arilines, as well other carriers in South and Central America. In this sense, AVIANCA is a good option for South and Central America travels combined with Brazil. 

AVIANCA itself flies from São Paulo (GRU) to Bogotá, where it is located its main hub. Copa flies from Panama to São Paulo, Rio, Porto Alegre, Recife and Manaus. 

AVIANCA tried a merge with TAP (the Portuguese airline), but in the end the group of David Neeleman, owner of AZUL and JET BLUE, was declarated winner of the dispute by the portuguese government.

AVIANCA operates in main terminals at brazillian airports, so no worries about going to some isolated terminal.
