Halifax to Sao Paulo, Brazil - $773 roundtrip including taxes
22
March
The Star Alliance and Oneworld are currently having a bit of a fare war on flights from Halifax to Sao Paulo, Brazil (GRU).
Airfares are currently down to as low as $773 CAD roundtrip including taxes. It's been many years since roundtrip flights from Halifax to Brazil have been down into the $700s. Roundtrip flights to Brazil tend to bottom out in the $1000-$1200 range these days. In general, great deals from Halifax to South America are quite rare.
The cheaper dates look to be focused between March 2015 and the third week of June 2015.
How to find and book these flights
1. Start with a search using Google Flights Explore. Adjust the flight duration slider to 'under 17 hours' of total travel time. Here's the search link you end up with:
Note that Google Flights Explore is in $USD. The cheapest flights are currently the ones going for $604 USD roundtrip including taxes. The travel durations are close to as fast as it can be done, at 15-16 hours of travel time each way, and just one stop.
2. After you have found some dates using Google Flights Explore, take those dates and enter them into Priceline.
example:
Priceline
Kayak
The prices on Priceline are in $USD. So, the $595 USD price you see on Priceline will convert to $773 Canadian when booked with a Canadian credit card at today's exchange rates.
