Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Galeao - Antonio Carlos Jobim Intl. Airport (GIG) to SJO last minute?
Being a spontaneous soul is an amazing way to explore the globe, but it's not necessarily the wisest way to pick up a bargain fare. Think about booking your Galeão Intl. Airport to SJO trip well in advance instead of leaving it to the last minute. Based on flight pricing and demand studies in 2022, we have found that the best time to book domestic flights is between 28 – 35 days ahead of the departure date, and international flights three to four months in advance. We recommend saving that spontaneity for when you get to SJO!
