BRAZILIAN AIRLINES COMPANIES

If you being in Brazil decide to make a local trip, you probably will face with a problem of choice of the airline company, cause we know that local airline companies aren't really famous abroad. 

So GOL, TAM, WEB JET or AZUL, which one?

Of course first of all your decision depends on time of flights offered by a company. Dosen't metter which one is better - the flight schedule will dominate in making decisions. But what if all of them offer time and price comfortable for you?

First of all I want to inform you that almost all flights here go via Rio de Janeiro or, mostly, Sao Paulo, which has few airports for domestic flights. A lot of people face with problem of having connection flighs in different airports. For example, traveling from Florianopolis to Fortaleza, if you buy tickets on internet, pay attetion to airports names. You can arrive in Guarulhos SP and your connection flight is in Congonhas SP; it's gonna take at least one hour to switch airports, especially if you don't know the city.

  

TAM airlines

TAM is a member of STAR ALLIANCE and the most famous Brazilian company in South America, mostly, cause only this company has international flights to Europe, North America and Asia. TAM is also popular in Brazil due to high quality of service and promotions. As leading airlines in Brazil usually supports different events, for example, TAM is a one of the sponsors of Madonna's world tour. 

GOL

 2nd famous Brazilian airlines, but known only inside the continent. GOL is also considered international, but it doesn't flight further then Latin America (for example Chile, Peru, Venezuela, Dominican Republic, etc.). The company is growing very fast and has all chances to become a national lider, especially with its programe Smiles, where you can exchange collected points on tickets.

AZUL

This company is considered one the cheapest  and less popular, especilly because it doesn't work with Guarulhos - the biggest national & international airport in Sao Paulo. If you bought Azul tickets, consider - in Sao Paulo their airport is Congonhas. Personally I liked this company, without having a famous name, it has some advantages. Service is good, and if you like space it's deffinately must be your choice, cause Azul is famous with its big distances between seats in the plane. It also participated in some social project, for example, they painted plane in pink color to support "Pink October" in Brazil, event made by AMUCC, Brazilian cancer society.

WEB JET

  This company is a low-cost airlines, besed in Rio de Janeiro, cooperate with Galeão (RJ) and Santos Dumont (RJ) airports, and has around 20 destinations inside the country. 

Hope this tips will be helpful for you!

Enjoy your trip!
