Delta Expands Offerings in Brazil – Information for Travelers

Before the pandemic, the number of Americans visiting Brazil increased for two consecutive years, peaking at more than half a million as more travelers became aware of what the country had to offer.

This is especially good news for those near Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL). The busiest airport in the United States is expected to see two of its routes to Brazil receive increased service. In addition to a second daily seasonal flight between Delta’s Atlanta hub and Guarulhos International Airport (GRU) in Sao Paulo, seasonal flights to Galeão International Airport (GIG) in Rio de Janeiro are also expected to resume. Both of these changes will begin from December 17, giving travelers more flexibility to travel this winter.

Flights between New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Sao Paulo are also expected to see an increase in frequency. Currently, there are three weekly flights between the two airports. However, from October 29, this will switch to a daily service, giving travelers many more options when it comes to flying on this route. The trip will be served by Delta’s Airbus A330-300, with a flight time of 9h 40m.

With these additions, Delta now operates 28 flights between the two countries. Travelers looking to book a round-trip flight from Atlanta to the sunny beaches and bustling streets of Rio De Janeiro in December can find several direct flights for less than $2,000.

For those looking to go between New York JFK and Sao Paulo, direct round trips are available for less than $1,800.
