Hi to everyone, hope you are all ok, I have a flight with Azul airlines and I want to add luggage ad at the point of payment it's asking for my CPF which I don't have. Has anyone found a way around this? I know I can pay at the airport but the fees are way higher than the online prices.  Many thanks

My only feedback is my experience taking Simba, my beagle/cocker spaniel from Boston to Jericoacoara.  Brazilian red tape is a piece of cake compared to international travel with a live animal.


My last leg of the trip was from São Paulo to Jericoacoara. I flew on Latham. I was not asked or even knew about a CPF.

@ltoby955 I had the same situation.  I downloaded the app and there it succeeded but... now all the time status of this order = pending.  I can't even create an account on their website as a foreigner.

@itoby955 Do you need to take AZUL? I can’t imagine how you could get around this requirement. It just may be easier to book

on an airline without this requirement.

@Roddie Simmons I booked the flight through a flight platform, It appears in my Azul account, it even allowed me to buy seats but not luggage. It requires a CPF, I might have to go to the airport.

@Szymon M Hi i managed to create an account some time back, but now it appears to have changed the criteria. I will download the app.

How much time do you have until your flight? It might be enough to get yourself a CPF, which is free, but not necessarily an easy, straightforward process . However a number of things will be easier in Brasil too, so maybe it’s worth the hassle. It took me only  one short visit at the local administration to get one , but getting the appointment was a little more complicated. Last year, there was a thread about this (how to get a CPF , either before coming to Brazil or right here).
