Visitors who are
intending to
travel on from their point of entry to explore the rest of Brazil should
consider investing in a Brazilian Air pass before arriving in the country. The
Air pass can only be
sold outside of Brazil and to non-residents with a return air ticket. It
can be purchased for the flights of
Varig
,
Tam
,
Gol ,
Ocean
Air or
Vasp,
each pass only being valid for the flights of the issuing carrier. The
price of the Air pass varies, but considering the size of Brazil and the
cost of internal Brazilian air
travel – a return flight from Rio de
Janeiro to Manaus can cost over US$1,000 and Rio to Foz de Iguaçu, US$
550 – it offers excellent value for money.Currently the cost
of the basic Air pass is US$ 530 for up to five internal flights. The pass is valid for 21 days from the first internal
flight.
There is also a South American Air pass which allows the holder to travel
economically throughout Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Paraguay.
The cost of the South American Air pass is based on the number of miles
flown. Prices start from just US$ 225.
