Additionally, depending on the originating carrier, you might not receive a boarding pass for the Brazilian domestic flight, just a piece of paper to indicate you have a flight. Also, in this case, the Azul app recently is horrendous. If you enter the Azul confirmation code you originating carrier provides, Azul generates a new confirmation code (if it actually works). You may or may not be able to use this new code to actually see a boarding pass for Azul in their app.
