There's a popular blog in Brazil where people post TRs, and there's one for VCP-FLL in Y, and return in J. They mention immigration/customs in FLL is painless. Worth having a look at the pix and putting through a translator.

Thanks for your response. FLN is our destination. And what you have stated is the reason we have avoided AD bc we generally fly through GRU using award miles. With no *A presence in Brasil, it's been difficult. Thanks for the links; will check it out.
