Exciting Travel Opportunities to Sao Paulo
United Airlines is offering a competitive fare of $490 for flights to Sao Paulo, which includes one checked bag and a standard carry-on item as part of its regular economy fare.
There’s also a lower fare of $350 available, but this option falls under the Basic Economy category. Be aware that Basic Economy fares come with significant restrictions:
Restrictions include:
NO option for advance seat selection
NO inclusion of checked baggage – a first bag incurs a fee of $70 each way and a second bag costs $100
NO changes allowed
NO cancellations allowed – any cancellations after the 24-hour risk-free period result in the fare losing its value for future use
Unfortunately, many online travel agencies may not clearly present these Basic Economy fares to consumers.
