Chicago and Denver included. There were others in the game as well if I remember correctly.
It appears to be a TAM fare

Don't forget to factor in the hassle/cost of getting the Visa....I thought I read somewhere that it was over $100.

Depends on your nationality. No visa required for me.

visas are handled in person only or by visa service agency
no mail applications or returns so no overnight shipping
takes about 1-2 weeks to process

Boston Brazilian consulate should still do mail applications but only if you live in their jurisdiction (check their website), I got my visa for Brazil that way. But each consulate of Brazil is different...

OT from this exact fare but if anyone in Europe is looking for a 4-8 day stay in GIG can book on AA: FRA-GIG via NA.

Looks like 4 nights gets you about $715 and 7-9 can drop it to $620

Was trying to see if AA has daylight flights between any US cities but I can't seem to find it. I think only TAM does but the low fare on AA codeshare flight numbers sadly does not seem to work.

I have been able to find on AA and TAM metal, the flights on AA metal are booked through the TAM website and run about $10 more.

You can use mail for your visa/passport in based on the consulate. I am in the Chicago consulate jurisdiction and I was able to, but I was required to use overnight shipping both ways.

I can't seem to get anything to price properly in December -- Google Flights is showing $630 on TAM, but TAM's website seems to cost about 3 times as much, and OTAs don't seem to be able to price it either. It looks like it should work from SFO too (via JFK), but maybe Google Flights is just showing a phantom... Any ideas?

Seeing $508 RT from BOS to GIG on both 8/29 and 8/22... would leave BOS, fly through IAH arrive at 9 am, leave at 230 PM on a short hop to GRU (which I don't think qualifies) and then back up through IAD on the way home... Anybody else seeing this?
