South America
I was looking up prices for flights to Sao Paolo next year (which I couldn’t as they were too far ahead) so looked up the most recent flights (which I assumed would be end of this year), and it seems there are Passenger flights from this Friday. Are these the first since March? I realise they’ve been running cargo flights.

I guess the only people booking to go to Brazil tomorrow are those that have to go, hence the high fares. They know there'll be limited tourists so no point trying to attract them with low last minute fares

Price up something at least a month out and on a return basis rather than a one way. Fare rules are fare rules covid or no covid and you're pricing something that's typically extremely expensive (one way departing tomorrow on a long haul route).

I would have thought that depends on what the competition are charging for a direct flight at such short notice.

TAP is about £350 one way for tomorrow. KLM/LH about £700
