I'm in Rio and Niteroi March 2-7th on a previous booked trip. Maybe I'll run into a few of you there.

. Bottled water only! 
Considering that it seems a lot of us have booked over Memorial Day weekend, any interest in a meetup in GIG, or a listing of flights to see if anyone is taking the same flights to/from GIG? I'll create a Community thread if enough people are interested.

I believe once you obtain a Brazilian visa, they are good for 10 years?

Booked MCO-MIA-JFK-GIG-DFW-MCO in $440 a/i, minus a $100 cert from the Amex airline credit. Not terrible for 12.5K miles, and two days in GIG.
SWUs cleared on the return, though the outbound is waitlisted with an empty cabin. I have no doubts that it will clear shortly.
Still have my visa from the $267 SEA-SFO-LAX-IAD-GRU-ORD-EWR deal in 2011, so the overall cost for this trip will be minimal. Hotel is the only challenge.

I've flown it but only domestically, so no international service or anything like that. Supposedly 763 J service (being the highest available class on the plane) is a shade better than 772 J. Seat/bed (angled lie-flat) is very similar from my recollection, other than the 767 being 2-2-2 (good if you want those middles with nobody climbing over you or not having to climb over anyone) whereas the 772 is 2-3-2. I took a window seat for my flights (I'm in the small minority of FTers who prefer a window seat).

Just a heads up on UA's MCO-GIG fare:
- Books into N
- No minimum/maximum/Saturday night requirement
- Unlimited transfers
- Fare filed 14 Feb and expires "Infinity" but I wouldn't hold my breath
