if I can't go to Asia from mid August to the end of October I won't be able to go there at all in 2020. I know Brazil is currently on hold too, but should the country reopen by the Fall I would be very interested in flying down for a quicky 2 week Sao Paulo fix. My dumb ass question concerns what SP Hotels are Guest Friendly? I prefer 4* & 5* hotels relatively close to the action with sunny outdoor swimming pools.

Allow me to add a little more dumb to your question. I was in Sao Paulo at that same time last year and it was freezing. So an outdoor swimming pool will do you no good. And you will be lucky if it is sunny.

Hey Guys, I suppose you can file this post under stupid shit, but here goes anyway: It has been 20 years since I last visited Brazil. I used to travel to SA (Colombia, Brazil) all the time in the '90's until I fell big time for demure SE Asian girls. With the Corona BS going on it looks like I might not be allowed to go on my mid summer 2.5 month Thai / Indonesia trip and if I can't go to Asia from mid August to the end of October I won't be able to go there at all in 2020. I know Brazil is currently on hold too, but should the country reopen by the Fall I would be very interested in flying down for a quicky 2 week Sao Paulo fix. I mean holiday visit. LOL.

I know where to find the girls. That's not a problem. And I think it will be fun rediscovering the town. My dumb ass question concerns what SP Hotels are Guest Friendly? I have searched the internet and strangely can't find the answer. Is it all, some, or a few? I prefer 4* & 5* hotels relatively close to the action with sunny outdoor swimming pools.

Thanks in Advance.

Are international flights open in Brazil now? Is there a period of quarantine?

I'm looking for anywhere I can ride this thing out for the next 2-3 months.

Ride it out in the new global virus hot spot?

Its closed still until end of the month but expect it to be extended.

First I have booked a flight to Rio June 3 rd, but my flight was cancelled so I have booked another flight to Rio September 9th, maybe it will be possible I think It will be difficult to go to Brasil for the next 3 months

Chicas are telling me that a lot is closed, but

You mean garotas?

[Balboa]

Yeah, Spidey, this all happened after I got my ticket to Brazil. There are no travel restrictions there. It is $400 for a ticket from Miami to Sao Paulo now. Chicas are telling me that a lot is closed, but they are desperate and hard up for cash. American Airlines has tickets going for $500 which included one suitcase. I jumped on that deal.

I wish Colombia was open, but we will see how things are in Sao Paulo now. It should be fun and you got to love the exchange rate and now needing no visa.

I had a ticket this month as well to SP.

Cancelled.

I have a ticket to SP in early May.

We'll see.

Unfortunately, Brasil is closed for incoming traffic now.

Hopefully opens, I have my doubts though.

On a lighter note, I think #1 should have been "1. Quatro pro Quatro, burns down and husbands go back to fucking their wives. " ...kkkk

Had a buddy just retire and flew into Curitiba to be with his Brazilian wife.

He has all the official documents and all of being married, a resident, etc and they still almost sent him home he said.

He was kept for a few hours in immigration until his wife came and showed her documents as well and claimed him, LOL.

Not sure if thats the norm now.

Doesnt seem wise to fly in now.

The restriction is until April 30.

In some countries like Korea, they make you download an app on your phone to track you.

Thanks for the tip, I was thinking of flying in May 1st LOL.

Has anyone flown into Brazil recently?

Since there is restricted entry, what is the process at the passport check?

Low 400 usd round trip from US to GRU amazing.

While we're all waiting for this to pass I've been checking future flights and hotels. The best value I've seen was using miles on American Airlines. I started weeks ago checking fares and I got a fair rate using miles, it has even gone lower since I booked to levels I've never seen before. Same for hotels, rates I have never seen before, I also booked a great rate for a future trip. All bookings are flexible so am able to cancel just in case.

I already made a hotel reservation for my next trip to Sao Paulo. EUR 45 / USD 50 per night at Mercure SP Times Square, with flexible rate. Usually it's like EUR 70-80. Of course, at the same time the Real has gone down, which helps, but I have never seen prices like this.

I'm still waiting for the flights to go down. Economy class prices are quite cheap, but business class prices are at the same level (from Europe) as before and I haven't seen any offers yet.
