SkyTeam partners Air France & KLM are selling quite cheap tickets to São Paulo. Prices start at only €389 for flights to Lima. Luggage, however, is not included and would cost another €100 for everyone who is not a SkyTeam Elite status holder.
There currently aren’t any restrictions for vaccinated tourists wanting to enter Brazil. If you aren’t fully vaccinated, however, you’ll have to show a negative test result, no older than 24 hours before departure. The test result has to be in English, Portuguese, or Spanish.
At KLM & Air France, all tickets can still be rebooked without a change fee, but you will unfortunately now have to pay the price difference. You can also exchange the flights for a non-refundable voucher, valid for 1 year. Unfortunately, the option to have the value of the voucher paid out to your bank account no longer exists since March 1st. You can read the rules here.
There’s quite good availability until May 2022.
You can fly from the following Italian cities:
First, you would either fly to Paris or Amsterdam, before continuing your trip to South America on a long-haul flight to Brazil. Both airlines use a Boeing 777 for their flights to São Paulo, offering on-demand entertainment for each passenger, a USB port and a power socket – so pretty much your average economy class.

Information & Tips for Brazil
Brazil is famous for attractions like the Amazon rainforest, the vibrant cities of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, and natural landmarks like Iguazu Falls and Pantanal. The currency is the Brazilian real (BRL), and credit cards are commonly accepted in most places. The price level can vary—major cities and tourist spots can be expensive, but other areas offer more affordable options. Brazil’s weather is tropical, with hot, humid summers, especially in coastal regions, while southern areas experience milder winters. The best time to visit is generally during the dry season, from May to October.
Brazil’s transport infrastructure varies across the country. In major cities like Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, public transport includes buses, metros, and taxis, though traffic congestion can make getting around slow at times. Ride-hailing apps are widely used and convenient. For intercity travel, long-distance buses are a common, affordable option, but they can be slow. Domestic flights are popular for longer distances, offering quick access to destinations like the Amazon or coastal areas. However, outside major cities, transportation options may be less frequent or reliable, requiring more planning.

For tickets starting in Italy you can skip the first segment without penalty as per an Italian court decision. Just make sure to have it issued in Italy and inform the airline that you will be missing the first segment. (Emirates has a separate website for this). Of course at your own risk
