If your travel dates are flexible, shifting your trip into a cheaper month can save you a meaningful amount.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

The cheapest day to depart to Sao Paulo is usually Sunday, when fares start from around £1,240 — midweek departures tend to be quieter and cheaper.

Where your plans allow, moving your outbound to a cheaper weekday can noticeably lower the total fare.

Accepted Answer

Flights to Sao Paulo are generally cheapest departing in the evening, with fares from around £993. Departures in midday tend to cost more (about £1,341), as those slots are more convenient and in higher demand. Picking an off-peak departure time is a simple way to trim the price without changing your dates.

The cheapest return flights to Sao Paulo depart from London Heathrow (LHR), from around £1,262. London has several airports serving this route and fares can vary between them — Gatwick (LGW) is often the priciest at around £1,309. It's worth checking which London airport is both cheapest and most convenient for you before booking.

Question 6

How far in advance should I book a flight to Sao Paulo?

Accepted Answer

To get a below-average price to Sao Paulo, aim to book roughly 8 weeks before departure, when fares tend to dip to around £1,239. Leaving it to the final week is usually the most expensive time to buy, costing about 37% more, as availability tightens. Booking extremely far ahead isn't always cheaper either, so a few weeks to a couple of months out is typically the sweet spot.

Accepted Answer

The most popular airlines flying to Sao Paulo are British Airways, TAP Air Portugal, based on how often they appear across searches for this route. Each offers different schedules, baggage allowances and service levels, so it's worth comparing them alongside price. A well-served airline usually means more departure options and easier rebooking if your plans change.

Economy is the most affordable option (from around £1,262), while premium cabins cost significantly more in exchange for extra space, baggage and comfort — Business fares start from about £4,029.

How many flights fly to Sao Paulo per week?

Accepted Answer

The most flights to Sao Paulo are scheduled on Tuesday (around 5 per day), while Monday has the fewest (around 1) — roughly 18 flights a week in total. Travelling on a busier day gives you more choice of times and, often, better prices. If you can, avoid the quietest days when seats are more limited.

That spread lets you choose an early start to make the most of your first day, or a later flight if you'd rather not rush. Exact departure times vary by airline and day, so check the schedule for your specific dates.

What is the rainfall in Sao Paulo by month?

Accepted Answer
