Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Galeao - Antonio Carlos Jobim Intl. Airport (GIG) to Viru Viru Intl. Airport (VVI) last minute?
Being spontaneous is a terrific way to see the world, but it's not necessarily the cleverest way to pick up a cheap airfare. Consider booking your Galeão Intl. Airport to VVI journey well in advance rather than leaving it till 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're discovering VVI!
What airports do you fly into for Santa Cruz from Rio de Janeiro?
There are two — Viru Viru Intl. Airport (VVI) and El Trompillo Airport (SRZ). Both are great options for those traveling from Rio de Janeiro to Santa Cruz. If you opt for Viru Viru Intl. Airport (VVI), you'll come in to land roughly 16 kilometers north of the heart of Santa Cruz. After you've settled in to your comfy hotel room, it's time to sample some of the city's leading attractions. Ventura Mall and Guembe Biocenter are two must-sees.
Can I change the date of my flight from Galeão Intl. Airport to Viru Viru Intl. Airport (VVI)?
Easily make changes to your Galeao - Antonio Carlos Jobim Intl. Airport (GIG) to Viru Viru Intl. Airport (VVI) flight through the Expedia Trips portal. Before making any amendments, review the rules and conditions in your itinerary to see what the airline will let you do and if change fees apply. Some carriers have a change fee per person, in addition to any difference in airfares. But if you booked in the last 24 hours, you may be able to cancel for free and organize new flights. You can also head to our Customer Service portal for more advice and to chat with our Virtual Agent.
