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!
