American/USAirways: Fly From Brazil-US For $470, US-Brazil For $578 Round-Trip

Dan I called us airways in Jan uary after I applied for the 50k offer to waive the first year fee they told on the phone that they would, but I never got it waived, do you think there is a possibility that American Airlines would do something? Or any other options?

If anyone does go, I’d recommend not walking in the street with a yarmulke or a good looking baseball cap (which might get taken from your head). Just wear the dirtiest looking baseball cap you have.
Also, be very familiar with the places that you go, because crime (including violent crime) is rampant in many areas.

@oscar:
An annual fee has nothing to do with either airline, call the bank.

@brazilian:
Why?

I spent a year in Brazil and just spent 2 weeks there with my family and encountered zero antisemitism with my yarmulkah out.
It’s not Paris…

Crime happens in some areas, just don’t walk alone at night.

Agree with Dan – they have a tremendous amount of respect for religious jews, especially the large group of evangelicals. Many of them are taxi drivers.

@brazilian:

“It’s not Paris…”

And elsewhere on this site people are posting that there are no problems even in Paris…

@Reb Yid:
I wore a baseball cap in Paris. I don’t recall having to do that anywhere else, but after an incident there it seemed like a good idea.

Dan,
Muito obrigado. Esse deal funciona pro mes de outubro? Depois dos chagim?

Alguma boa oferta do Brasil pra Israel bein hazmanim? Tem que comecar um forum portugues.

@Brasileiro:

@João:

Boa noite Joao, vc nao tem milhas?

Tenho milhas com UA, mais nao vale a pena gastar elas de GRU-TLV. Obrigado por todos seus posts.

@João:
Porque nao?
Pode fazer “stopover” em EUA ou Europa…

Eu nao moro no Brasil. Eu viajei algumas vezes com teus deals. Este Av, necessito viajar do GRU-TLV-GRU sem macacada no meio. Eu visito esse site, que e incrivel. Muito obrigado por tudo. Eu nao entendo como pessoas tem coragem de escrever comments reclamando. Hora de comecar a escrever em portugues, o Brasileiro nao e assim. BTW, como voce aprendeu escrever em portugues? Isso e dificil.

@dan just curious what’s the season there now

@Tempting:
We are on winter now. Besides our extreme south, where can be very cold (yet, no snow), the rest of the country gets around 5~15ºC (south and centre) or 20~30ºC (north and northeast).

5ºC = 41ºF
15ºC = 59ºF
20ºC = 68ºF
30ºC = 86ºF

Sorry, south and center goes around 5~25ºC
25ºC = 77ºF

@João
Eu concordo com você %100.
Inclusive eu estou gurdando muita grana com este último amex offer da sam’s club, e o pessoal ainda reclama to título…..
Por favor gente……..!

@Dan você é o máximo.

@Dan: I spent 20+ yrs there and encountered plenty of antisemitism.

@David: yes, the evangelicals are very friendly and respectful to orthodox jews. But they are a minority.

Enjoy but be careful. One bad experience can ruin the trip.

Igauzu too?

Don’t forget the visa requirements for US citizens going to Brazil.

How are you seeing tickets for under $600? I used the same dates, same airports, Priceline and Google flights and seeing nothing less than $842…$250 more than what’s written here. Miami to Rio is $874 on Google flights, and $886 on Priceline?

My wife is from Brazil, we would really go Jun 14-21 if the prices listed existed somewhere.
