I have been fliying to Rio since 2005 and cant believe the prices now. Does anyone know a decent agent or site? There are no longer direct flights from ny to rio and the prices range around 1,500 plus your bags. Thought i would drive to miami because its only 8 hour flight and non stop, almost same price. Crazy, any help would be appreciated im not looking to do a 24 hour trip with 2 stops. Thanks God bless. Looking anytime next year to keep my residency.
