SkyTeam member Air France bring us today a deal in premium economy from Italy to Brazil starting at just €779. This fare doesn’t include checked luggage, but you are allowed to bring two carry-ons and one personal item. If you need more luggage, you can add 2 x 23 kg checked luggage for around €180 for the return trip. Departures are available between May to June.
These are some of the airports where you can take advantage of this deal:
Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates at the lowest price for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to Air France or KLM with your selected flight dates.
First, you will take your feeder flight to Paris on either an Embraer 195 or Airbus 320 family aircraft in economy class. For your flight to Rio, you will fly with Air France on a Boeing 777 with a 2-3-2 premium economy configuration. On limited dates you may be able to fly with KLM to Brazil but this flight will be to Sao Paolo and you will have to take a feeder flight with Gol from Sao Paolo to Rio.
Search & Book
This deal will expire on March 31, 2024. A minimum stay of seven days, and a maximum stay of three months applies. Available dates are between May and June.
You can find suitable dates using our calendar above or with the help of Google Flights. We recommend booking directly on Air France’s website or KLM’s website, but you can find cheaper prices with Skyscanner. However, booking on OTAs has its downsides.
Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?
More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:
Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.
If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.
This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.
Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.
This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.

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.
