Brasilia - Post Report Question and Answers
What is your home city/country? How long is the trip to post from there, with what connections? How easy/difficult is it to travel to this city/country?
USA - it's a long trip up the globe, generally with a connection in Sao Paulo as well as a U.S. port like TX or FL before continuing on. GOL Airlines does fly direct to FL from BSB, which is nice to cut out Sao Paulo's extra 4 hours of flying time alone. - Jan 2024
USA. The American flight is now back, after some time without it, that has direct connection to Miami. Otherwise, your connections tend to be via Sao Paulo or Panama. It is easy to travel within Brazil and there are several regional airlines with good prices. Driving outside Brasilia is decent, but not practical to drive distant cities as this is a rather large country - Oct 2021
Travel from DC is long as there are no direct flights to Brasilia. You either fly via Houston to Sao Paulo and then on to Brasilia, or via Miami to Brasilia. Flight time is about 14 hours. - May 2020
Seattle. 8 hours to Miami, then another 5 hours from there. - May 2017
West Virginia, USA. The trip takes about 13-20 hours, depending on connections. The main flights out of Brasilia go to Miami, but often you are routed through Sao Paulo first. - May 2017
DC. About 15 hours. Usually São Paulo and/or Miami. - Mar 2017
Washington D.C. Between 14- 18 hours. Given Brazil's falling currency (Real), Delta is closing, TAM/Gol have fewer flights, etc. All that is left are American Airlines flights that are cheap and uncomfortable. They connect through Sao Paulo to get to the US. Without Delta, everything is changing and is more difficult. - May 2016
New York City. Haven't gone home in two years, but travel time would be most of a day or all night, depending on connecting flights. It requires at least two flights. The only direct flights from Brasilia to US are to Atlanta and Miami. - Aug 2015
Washington, DC. 13-14 hours of travel, including a layover in either Miami or Atlanta before a red-eye directly into Brasilia. - Aug 2015
United States - connect through Atlanta, then have an 8 hour flight on Delta overnight, crammed in economy with cats meowing all night. - Aug 2015
We don't really have a home base in the USA but most often we fly to Florida or DC. Normal routes are via Miami or Atlanta. There are direct flights to those cities from Brasilia. They are overnight flights, around 8 to 9 hours. - Jun 2014
Home base is Washington, DC. Flights take 12 hours with one connection in Sao Paulo, or 10 hours with one connection in Atlanta. - Sep 2012
Washington, DC. One connecting flight in Atlanta or Florida, about fourteen hours. - Dec 2011
Washington. 15 hours to several days depending on the airline. There are real issues with the Delta city-pair. Avoid it if you can. - Aug 2011
