Tickets to Brazil

Brazil is young and spectacular. It is the land of passion and the true embodiment of the spirit of joie de vivre. People come here to revel in the gargantuan-sized euphoria that drenches the very fragments of this country during the much talked about annual phenomenon, the Carnival. People come here to seek the sun-drenched landscape of powdery beaches. It is about the beautiful people who put on show their much toned and tanned bodies. It is about the zest for life in people that is paraded at every excuse or no excuse. Brazil is also about the pristine rain forests and the glimmering metropolises. From colonial towns to perhaps the most diverse flora and fauna, Brazil is about everything!

Brazil is bursting at its seams to contain the humungous entourage of sightseeing wonders within its boundaries. Of course, the Carnaval is the indisputable highlight of Brazilian holidays. The accompanying frenzy, hip-shaking samba, stimulating music, gaudy costumes and the overall merriment is unparallel in the world. But the scenic city of Rio de Janeiro has more to offer. There are wonderful beaches and interesting museums. Sao Paolo is best known for its nightlife. Party lovers would have to strive a lot hard to find a better party place. Forests in the Amazon are huge hits with adventurous souls. Salvador da Bahia is a colourful city that flaunts a parade of colonial era buildings that are a must-explore.

Brazil is a massive holiday destination and a fast emerging world economy. The soaring demand for air tickets to the country from each and every pocket of the globe can not be disputed. Brazil's top airports like the Guarulhos International Airport and Galeao International Airport are among the busiest in the region, with each handling millions of passengers each year.

The summer can be very hot in Brazil but the holiday celebrations that start before Christmas and lasts till Carnival (February/March) is the key factor that pushes up the demand for air tickets on flights to the country. A huge crowd rush is seen during the period. It is imp that enthusiasts book their accommodation and flight tickets to Brazil well in advance. Late bookings can be very severe on pockets. Weather-wise, September-October and March-April are the recommended periods when tourists can board flights and avoid peak season crowd as well as enjoy relatively cheap vacations.
