So the earlier flight in proper J class on a LAN 787 was extremely pleasant... until we got close to GRU and a tropical storm was passing over and after holding for 20 mins diverted to Rio where we took on fuel, waited an hour and then made the hop back, arriving later than the downgraded flight we were orginally on and messing up our evening plans.

Oh well, I’m getting too old to hit the nightlife in Sao Paulo anyway
