Posts: 187American is not that much better. No individual tv and crappy food. Miami airport is the pits imho. Other than that the times are similar to Delta if you do Miami and as of late they have some great deals.

CO now flys direct to Rio from Houston. Their planes are the best and you get your own movie screen. Delta planes are not as good, you have one large movie screen in the front of coach class. But Delta gets to Rio early (8am) and leaves late (10pm), so you get a full first day in Rio, plus a serious half-day before you fly out!
I flew United once and it was horrible. The flight was long, I smelled bad by the time I got back to the West Coast. They treated us like numbers or cattle!
How is American?

Pelongera. I really should have posted reports and did not because I was a bit paranoid about my anonymity.
I will post full reports beginning tomorrow. I wrote things down to help me remember.

I was tracking flights to Bogota and within a six hour period the bottom shot up $100.
And contrary to conventional wisdom, the hike occurred early in the week, not the weekend.
So Tijuana, did you notice the presences of the Hells Angels? Is Help closed?
Looking forward to your report!

Posts: 845Has anybody else notice how quickly prices for August went up last night. I was about to by a ticket at 700 from CA, drove home, logged back in and the ticket was 1000! On Delta.
So I went to a consolidator and saw the 700 rate, booked it, then got a message saying that fare was no longer available. What? Isn't the principle of a consolidator that they buy a set of tickets and then resell them a discount?
These days consolidators are barely better than the airlines. It seems from the minute you start planning a trip to Rio until you get back home from the trip, everybody has their hand out!

I'll be passing through Rio from 7/10 to 7/13. I have been thinking about a VM trip since reading Sperto's VM guide and map. It is amazing how this place polarizes people - they either hate it or love it. I hear it is pretty disgusting - but an experience everyone should try. And a place where a wingman can come in handy. I'm up for a road trip. I'll have a local cell phone in Rio so send me your contact info in a PM.
This will be my third trip down to Brazil in the past 3 months, all with a stopover in Rio. I am working on some new media and Internet projects there. I'll actually be heading up to Florianopolis too.
I used Sperto's map and guide last time to check out some Centro casas. It was my time exploring Centro and I had a great time there for a few days before heading to the beach.
I'll write a report of all the different experiences I've had in these trips when I return. So a VM trip is certainly needed to round out the experiences.
