BOOKING YOUR FLIGHT cont....
Having to make a
connection in Rio de Janeiro or Sao Paulo is a hassle. Yet Fortaleza's
year-round
perfect climate and the best beaches in South America make it worth the
effort!
In the past
the direct flights were more expensive than discounted fares that went
through Rio and Sao Paulo.
GOOD ADVICE:
Having
made the trip to Fortaleza many times from both Europe and the United
States. What makes the difference between a tiring long trip and a
relatively easy one is the following.
FIRST TIP:
If you are going through Rio or Sao Paulo, book an overnight
flight and get some sleep on the plane. Leave yourself a little extra
time to make your connection to Fortaleza. It's better to be a little
early than to miss the flight completely.
SECOND
TIP: Make sure your connecting flight to Fortaleza is a direct
flight that does not
make stops. Two good examples of this are: Flights to Fortaleza from
Rio or Sao Paulo often stop in Recife or Natal. You get to stay aboard
but it still adds hours to an already long trip.
If
you can accomplish that, you arrive in Fortaleza before 1 pm in the
afternoon!
