A direct flight with British Airways takes around 11 hours and 20 minutes. Hop on the 4:50PM flight from Galeao - Antonio Carlos Jobim Intl. Airport (GIG) and come in to land at LHR at 8:10AM. Grab a top deal on this and other routes when you book your ticket with Expedia.
Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Galeao - Antonio Carlos Jobim Intl. Airport (GIG) to LHR last minute?
Booking your flight from GIG to LHR at the last minute could save you a nice sum if you hit the jackpot and find a terrific deal. However, tickets don't typically get cheaper as the date of departure nears. If you wait, flights could also be sold out or the best seats taken (because who wants the middle seat?). If you'd rather err on the side of caution, book well in advance of when you want to leave. Note that some of the biggest deals can be found up to a year in advance. If your favorite airline hasn't released its airfares yet, check back regularly as deals are constantly updated on Expedia.
