The “Brazil Airpass”
is the name for the most advantages plane ticket of
domestic flights within Brazil. This ticket
can ONLY be purchased outside of Brazil (before
you travel to Brazil) and can ONLY be purchased in
conjunction of an overseas ticket to Brazil. The traveler
has to be a NON-RESIDENT (live outside of Brazil)
to be able to buy this kind of plane ticket.
The plane ticket (Brazil
Airpass) is only issued by airline companies outside
of Brazil, for travel with VARIG or TAM Brazilian
Airlines. The airpass has one unit price, independent
if the traveler fly to; one, two, three
or four destinations. The airpass’s
unit price starts from approx. U$ 450,00 per person
+ U$ 12,00 security tax + airport taxes (the price
may vary between the airline companies). If the traveler
wants to fly / visit more cities, it is possible to
add flights / coupons, approx. U$ 120,00 + airport
tax / per each extra destination. NOTE: Max 9 different
cities/airports can be included into the same airpass
ticket. Children less than 2 years have 90% discount
on adult price and children more than 2 years old
have no discount at all, pay as adult.
Further, the general rules
say that the Brazil Airpass is valid for travel during
maximum 21 days, counting from the first day of usage
(first domestic flight). Stopovers are limited to
the total number of purchased coupons. A stopover
occurs when the passenger does not depart from an
intermediate point within 4 hours from arrival. A
route may not be flown more than once in the same
direction. Two flights forming a connection (less
than 4 hours at the intermediary point) will be considered
as one coupon. If a certain destination cannot be
reached using one flight, up to two connections are
possible at selected airports; counting as one coupon
only. If a ticket is sold in South America (except
in Brazil) the flight must begin either in Rio de
Janeiro, Sao Paulo or Manaus. For domestic flights
flown in connection with an international routing,
the free baggage allowance for the international routing
will apply (piece concept or weight system). In the
event of excess baggage 1% of the economy-class fare
on the route in question will be charged.

TRAVELERS THAT ALREADY ARE OR LIVE IN BRAZIL <<
|
If
you already have arrived Brazil without buying an
Airpass, or if you live in Brazil, then you are NOT
able to purchase an Airpass here in Brazil.
In this case Packtours can provide plane tickets but
on conditions valid for the local market, which are
much more expensive than the Airpass. IF you will
make ONE short trip, i.e. flying the air shuttle between
Sao Paulo & Rio de Janeiro, it might be cheaper
to buy a local issued ticket, but in general you must
be prepared to pay much more for the domestic flights,
than the airpass. IF you want to quote
airfares, Packtours need to receive following information:
Exact travel dates, DOMESTIC city/airport from
where the travel starts, the places/cities you will
fly to, complete names and age of children of all
people the will travel.
NOTE: Packtours do not quote international
flights, from foreign countries to Brazil.
