Brazil flight FAQs

We fly direct to Brazil from London Heathrow.
Use our low fare finder to discover the cheapest time to visit Brazil. Winter and early spring are the most popular seasons to visit, so book your flights in late spring and summer if you want to pay less for your flights, but still enjoy warmer weather and plenty of festivals.
The best time to visit Brazil depends on the activities you’re interested in. The warmest months are usually between November and March, and they’re perfect for enjoying the New Year and Carnaval celebrations or going on a beach holiday along the coast. Mid-summer to early autumn is a great time to explore the Amazon Rainforest as it’s dry season, which is the best time for wildlife watching.
You can enjoy everything Brazil has to offer on any budget. Visit off-season in the spring and summer to avoid higher prices for hotels and activities. If you’re planning a city break, look out for food vendors serving local dishes at reasonable prices and do as much exploring by foot as you can. Spend a few days on the beach for a budget-friendly and relaxing experience. And if you’re heading off on an Amazon Rainforest adventure, do some research before you go on places to stay and book guides that suit your budget.
Public transport in Brazil is modern and efficient, and many of the larger cities like Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo have extensive subway systems. Look out for multi-day metro passes to save money. Buses are also easy and cheap to use for city or long-distance travel. There are also plenty of licensed taxis that can be booked through apps.
You can also hire a car with British Airways if you want to get out of the city and see more of what Brazil has to offer. You’ll receive great benefits, with all mandatory charges included and 24-hour customer support, plus you’ll collect Avios points on every rental.
A country of beautiful white-sand beaches, luscious rainforests, buzzing metropolises and diverse ecosystems, there’s something for everyone in Brazil. Enjoy the delicious food, rich culture and discover the country’s festivals throughout the year for a taste of the authentic Brazilian way of life.
