Advice on flying DL to GIG in J in mid-March
Hoping those with experience on flying to Brazil ex-US -- preferably WAS but I'm somewhat flexible on departure city -- can help. I have to be in GIG for a conference on Monday, March 16th. Ideally would depart ex-US on 3/14 and leave GIG on 3/17 (though could leave 3/16 if flight is late enough). Looking at J but prices seem nuts (~$5.5k on DL).
So, my questions:
1) Any reason to hope that prices might come down a bit (say to closer to 4k)?
2) Aeromexico has fares closer to 3k. Have no experience with them at all. Pro is that they are Skyteam; one con is that the flight there is into GRU but I could handle that. What are the other cons? Are the J class seats any good?
Thanks in advance for any insights you could provide.
