I found the TAM Brazilian Airpass information by doing a search. If your plan is to use this during the WC, you may want to ask before buying. My guess would be all the fare buckets available to Airpass holders have already been sold out.

Both TAM and GOL have an airpass, with a minimum of 4 legs iirc. They have to be purchased with your international flight, outside Brazil. You can pay to add legs. You must schedule your flights at the time of purchase of the pass afaik. Unless you are flying from one end of the country to another, often buying individual flights is more cost effective these days. And the passes are not valid during the WC.

not unlimited but like the other guys mentioned you need to buy segments. BTW they are special category and availability is not assured..they are not full Y coupons
There used be a Mercosur Air Pass as well...don't know if it exists anymore

It's really unclear to me if domestic fares will come back down to "normal" between the WC and the Olympics, so it is a bit tricky to do the calculations right now. Domrstic fares are usually the lowest if purchased well ahead, though.
Domestic carriers include TAM, GzoL, Azul, and Avianca Brazil, so check those flights on their sites. Also try to get an idea of where the MAO and IGU flights route through; flights most probably will not be direct.

AX9465 - assuming you are only needing 4 flights in total then I would say purchasing individual flights would make better sense (especially if you book a long way in advance as previously said). Book far enough in advance and you might be able to grab flights from around $45 USD each!
Pantanal - Mercosur is now a subsidiary of TAM so I would guess that their airpass would have been folded into TAM.s

use LAN km for short flights gru/cgh - rio etc..very low distance based mile charts
for longer flights you can use AA/UA miles on TAM or Delta on Gol (20k miles for return anywhere GOL flies in south America)

I travel intra brasil all the time. quite honestly best deal is using miles if you can get the avaiability
use LAN km for short flights gru/cgh - rio etc..very low distance based mile charts
