Mud Bug beside Copacabana Palace is a good place to go for a hassle free drink in Copa before going mongering. Plenty of good looking women.

Posts: 47Stopover in Sao Paulo
Okay, here's how it works:
If you make your reservation and schedule the stopover in SAO at the time of reservation, it normally won't cost any more than just going to Rio. Most international airline fares allow one stop over "en-route" at no additional charge. As long as your fare allows a connection in SAO, you could stop. In fact, most fares allow one stop in each direction at no additional charge. One caveat: If there are airport taxes, you might get a small add-on for those taxes if you stop in the airport, versus just connecting through.
If you have not made your reservation with the stop, you should not miss your connecting flight. Other posters are correct: Once you miss any flight, all subsequent flight on your itinerary (reservation) will be canceled. This includes your return ticket. You would then have to buy a new ticket, one-way back home. Note: if you miss a connecting flight, they will normally give you a couple of hours to show up at the counter and rebook the flights, but this really only works for delayed flights, not for an additional stay. You might get away with this for a late taxi arrival for your return flight, but don't try to create a stop-over with this technique.
This technique of free stop overs can often work, even though the city isn't on the flights that you are planning to be on. For example, NYC-Fortaleza would connect through SAO. But you probable can still do a free stop over in RIO (GIG) because GIG will show up on the air fare code routing for NYC to Fortaleza. The routings are buried in the tariffs and you'll need a good international reservationst or rate-desk at the airline to tell you if it is possible, but more often than not, it is!
Finally, the bad news is that many of the airline reservation systems on the internet will not find these "free" stop overs for you. You might have to talk to reservatons on the phone. And perhaps pay the telephone reservation fee, around $35-50. But, still might be quite a savings.
How do I know all of this, I owned a travel agency for 8 years, went to law school and worked a couple of years as a consultant to one of the major airlines. So, learned a little along the way.

Heading to Fortaleza for a week. Be back in Rio on the 23rd.
Thanks for the suggestions guys. However, I have to tell you that the hotelpousadagaleao has some of the worst reviews that I have ever seen! I may try the Luxor ( 132US per night) but it seems a bit over priced. Since I just need about 8 hrs, I think I'll try one of the "Love" motels.

Posts: 225Layover
Does anyone know of a place near the airport (GIG) where I can s**t, shower, and shave during a layover? Or at least not too far.
