flights to south america

eve21

hi there,

i am planning on doing a trip to SA shortly i.e. end of jan and am just wondering where is the cheapest place to fly into. im planning on staying there for + 6months so it doesnt really matter where i fly into but am having difficulty finding cheapest option. obviously will be contacting travel agents anyway but in the mean time if uve any info or tips would be great.

thanks !

A lot of flights go to South America from Madrid, give that a go

Try lastminute.ie.

They were the cheapest the time I was going. Much cheaper than Iberia (who go through Madrid).

I have been to brazil a number of times and you can get to a place called Natal in the northeast of Brazil(which is a great place) for about 700 return it flys out of amsterdam put fly brazil into google. They probably do one way flights aswell. Condor also fly to salvador (brazil) from frankfurt for in and around the same price.

air france to rio pretty cheap too

i flew air france to rio last feb (via paris) for around 600 euros

i was there for the carnival, amazing place (avoid sao paulo at all costs however - unless you like a stink of raw sewage and 100s of sqaure miles of favelas)

make absolutely sure to stay there until carnival in feb (!!!)

dont stay in copacabana (!!!) its vastly over rated

check out lapa / santa theresa area for partys/nightlife etc - theres a great hostel called terra brasilis there, has amazing views from rooms and balconies as its way up on top of a hill overlooking the city, ask for tito.. he will do you a good deal :P

make sure to check out sunset at ipanema beach (nicest beach in rio imo)

go hang gliding (!!) its cheap, around 80 euros or something, views are amazing from up there

drink lots of skol beer

95 % agree with all the above Rio Scenarium an old colonial building in Lapa and now a Samba dance hall is an unbelievable night out. Just change the skol beer for capirinhas and your on a winner. Trip of a lifetime enjoy.

Where do you see that? Tried a search on their site. Is it a special offer somewhere?
