Getting There From Britain
There are plenty of choices of carriers to Brazil, with Rio and Sao Paulo being the most usual points of arrival. Since direct flights can be booked up well in advance and are also generally more expensive, you may want to consider a flight via another country. You will almost always get the cheapest fares by booking through an agent rather than direct with the airlines. When buying your ticket to Brazil, you should consider the possibility of adding an air pass for travel within Brazil, or one that takes in its neighbouring southern countries. To find the best deal, look in the travel classified pages of national newspapers such as the Guardian or Observer, or, for London departures, in the London listings magazine, Time Out. It's also worthwhile checking out any of the hundreds of agents who advertise flights on the Internet : www.cheapflights.co.uk and www.lastminute.co.uk are good places to begin. Finally, you'll want to investigate using agents and operators , who offer a wide range of flights at competitive prices. If you plan on purchasing some kind of air pass or want to book a hotel room for your first few days in Brazil, it is certainly easier to go through a specialist agent. The independent travel specialist STA Travel offers some special discount flights, while students and anyone under 26 can also try Campus Travel. Student union travel bureaux can usually fix you up with flights through one of these operators. Depending on the airline, children pay between 50 and 70 percent of the discounted fares, while infants under the age of two generally pay 10 percent of the airline's cheapest official, non-discounted fare. All fares quoted below include tax .
