Azul, Gol and Tam reprimanded by the authorities
Posted by: | Comments
Brazilian airlines Azul, Gol and Tam have been reprimanded by ANAC (the Brazilian civil aviation authority) for including on their sales websites pre-selected optional services (travel insurance).

Azul selling tickets for Goiania
Posted by: | Comments
Azul is selling tickets for its Campinas - Goiania flight, due to start on 3 March. Prices from R$ 119 one way. Azul is no longer launching its new routes with mega deals. The price it is charging is not much different from what you will find Gol is offering for January. For that reason we are no longer cheering each time Azul announces a new route. It is always good news for the consumer, but nothing like the way it used to be.
