Depending on how you go about booking flight tickets, you might at first glance find it quite expensive to reach Boa Vista. Tools like skyscanner.com and Google Flights allow you to quickly view flight options from your point of origin, all the way to your destination. These tools, while useful, can often times display combined purchase options which can be more expensive than if you do a little bit of searching around, or book flights individually.

We initially use skyscanner.com and flightconnections.com to display flight options and routes available. Once we find the optimal route for our needs, we look into purchasing tickets—usually by individual flights, especially if we’re using multiple airlines. We prefer using the official airline app or website, unless it is significantly more expensive than purchasing through third party sellers such as Booking.com and GoToGate.com. Booking and GoToGate have intuitive websites and apps, and provide good customer service.

We choose to purchase our flights to one of the Brazilian cities mentioned above, first, and then afterwords, purchase a direct round-trip ticket to Boa Vista. Splitting up the purchases like this might be necessary if you are having to use multiple airlines to reach Boa Vista. Doing this also gives you more flexibility when it comes to tickets and pricing.

Domestic flights within Brazil can become very expensive if you’re purchasing flights last-minute. We recommend booking your all your flights, but especially the domestic flights within Brazil, well in advance to get the best pricing.
