Sao Paolo
TRAVELLING by air between Sao Paolo and Rio de Janeiro once meant paying Brazil's highest domestic fares. Now, fliers are discovering bargains on that route as the economy heads for its worst year since 1992.
"I've been finding really cheap tickets," said Brooke Swartz, a 34-year-old communications consultant who recently noticed a US$20 one-way ticket from Rio to Sao Paolo. Last year, that same 352-kilometre trip between Brazil's two biggest cities on Gol Linhas Aereas Inteligentes SA cost as much as US$480.
