JJ has tickes just above $1200 also on a 777.
JJ also can be used on domestic flights but is G3 would be considered a better airline?
Any suggestion and input? Thanks..
For me, JJ and G3 are absolutely the same as far as the flight is concerned -- very cramped and little or no service. But G3 is officially a budget airline, whereas JJ is supposed to be full service. Between these two, I would choose by schedule, price, or where you want to earn miles. There is also OC, formerly known as Ocean Air, now Avianca. It offers MUCH more space between the rows (pitch, as they say) as well as a snack and soft drinks. It is also usually much cheaper than JJ or G3 if you are buying the ticket in Brasil. This is not to mention local airlines such as TRIP or WebJet, the latter now owned by Gol. I would put WebJet in the same basket as Gol and TAM; I have heard better things about TRIP, but have never flown it myself.
