Very few airlines fly this route. One of them is South African Airlines. A340 in not my favourite long distance plane – I prefere more cozy 767, but they serve on board SAA Amarula drinks… Hope you also like them… The flight to Sao Paulo, Brazil was 2 hours delayed and it toook me almost 10 hours… No much space to stretch the legs… But I earn 4500 miles for frequent flyer program…
In Sao Paulo I decided to spend the night close to the airport. I know this huge, crowded city from my previous visit – not much to see there!.
Apartament for the price of youth hostel? Yes, it is possible if you will find a partner to your twin room and if you will find well ahead an intertesting internet sale deal. I did! An apartment in Mercure Accor hotel close to the Sao airport cost 92 reais. They provide free transfer from the airport but they will charge you 5 reais pp for the way back to the airport. After 10 hours on the plane I had really good rest. Recommended! Welcome to the South America!
