This is too good to be true – Oneworld carriers British Airways, Iberia and still member LATAM offer insanely cheap business class tickets from Budapest to São Paulo, starting at €422. All flights consist of at least four legs, with a stop in either Frankfurt, London or Madrid. Tickets are available through OTAs or directly at LATAM’s website.
The deal has expired.
LATAM Brazil is currently undergoing bankruptcy under chapter 11. Please consider this before booking this offer.
According to IATA’s world travel map, transit in Hungary is currently allowed, although tourists may not enter the country. While travel to Brazil is currently possible, you may have to go mandatory quarantine when returning home.
There are more destinations available, like:
All long haul flights are in LATAM’s business class, with modern Boeing 787 or Airbus A350 operating the long haul flights. These birds sport a 2-2-2 seating pattern up front. From London, a Boeing 777 with 1-2-1 seating flies you across the pond. All mentioned planes feature lie-flat-seats.
We expect further shakeups in the airline industry over the following months. Some services might be cancelled, aircraft changed or downgraded. The schedule we describe may very well change.
Search & Book
We expect this to be a very short term offer with a high risk of being cancelled – this price is almost certainly not intentional. Please refrain from further bookings like hotels. Also, international travel between Europe and Brazil (or even Europe and Hungary) is currently not allowed.
According to Google Flights, you can find these fares into August 2021. LATAM sells these tickets on their website, but online travel agencies like Expedia offer them, as well.
Mileage
Tickets for all flights are booking class D. This is a flexible business booking class. The shortest journey via Madrid will be credited like this:
- 25,732 Award Miles + 12,866 Elite Qualifying Miles on Alaska Mileage Plan
- 25,732 Award Miles on Miles&More
- 19,300 RDM + 3,860 MQD on Delta SkyMiles
- 16,084 Avios on British Airways Executive Club
- 16,084 Avios on Qatar Privilege Club
- 16,084 Avios on Iberia Plus
- 16,084 AsiaMiles on Asia Miles
- 16,084 Miles on Japan Airlines Mileage Bank
- 16,084 Miles on Royal Jordanian Royal Club
- 16,084 Avios on Finnair Plus
- 16,084 Award Miles + 210 Tier Points on Virgin Atlantic Flying Club
- 16,084 Points on Malaysia Airlines Enrich
Because LATAM is set to leave Oneworld alliance, you can no longer get tier points in British Airways Executive Club for the long haul segments.
Information & Tips for Brazil
Brazil is probably the country in South America that is most frequented by tourists. Whether it’s the carnival or the Copacabana in Rio de Janeiro or touring the Amazon, visitors will get their money’s worth here.
Traditionally, flights to South America and Brazil from Europe are quite expensive, but since a few years, there are increasingly cheap offers, especially with Iberia and TAP.
Best Time to Visit
Brazil is a vast country – so there is no such thing as an overall best travel time. It all depends on what you want to see. It is best to visit the cities of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo autumn and spring while the dry season fort the rainforest is from May to September.
Entry & Visa
EU citizens do not require a visa for stays of up to 90 days and can enter with a passport only. Note that, similar to the USA, that after your first stop in Brazil your luggage must be collected and brought through customs. Calculate accordingly when booking a connecting flight.
