[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm going to Sao Paulo over Thanksgiving because I got a non-stop round trip from IAD for 1/3 the price of the usual $1600 fare. I also took United up on its pretty good credit card deal and slashed another $300 off my price. I'm staying in a (relatively) cheap hotel and Sao Paulo (and Latin America in general) is affordable.

I also have no kids, aren't married and don't drive.

Can't wait![/quote]

You got a great deal.  I fly to Sao Paulo a few times a year and have learned that IAD is the worst place to start the journey.  It is hundreds, if not thousands cheaper, to go to a repositioning airport.  I usually do Miami or Fort Lauderdale.  It's a 200 dollar round trip and I end up on the flight from IAD or wherever.  I tend to fly business, so I usually do Houston.

Have fun!  It's a blast of a city if you are a food, music, culture fan.[/quote]

The cost of business class from Dulles to Sao Paulo is an ongoing mystery. It is simply insane for a city like that from DC. I don't get it.[/quote]

Much of it is people who do government level business.  Not just government to government but the farmers etc. who need to do business with the USDA etc.  They don't care what it costs.[/quote]
