Do they have a credit card, and a clean credit history with the SPC? Are all their ID numbers current (and have they voted, which keeps some of these up to date)?Don't assume this is true of any and all Brazilians.
I have had friends in Brazil book domestic flights for me in the past, but directly with the airline. I have also booked from home with all the ID details of a kind Brazilian friend, but there are many ID numbers and dates needed iirc (and even most Brazilians may not be aware of all needed, to anticipate).
A foreign visitor can travel in Brazil without having to present a CPF while in transit.
