Probably a bit early for summer 2024, need to wait until October I think. I was able to book earlier in May for travel in Jan and at that time, dates were available for Feb and March as well. Was able to get $1200 fare RT (via AF on one leg and KLM on other, and AM for MEX to GRU and back)

Lots of problems with Brazil evisa - VFS is terrible at responding, I have applied in November for my Jan trip and it is still not here, they keep it in pending and asking for more documentation and bank statements, a better trip itinerary and what not! They want it ending in the month, my bank statement is in the middle, so had to wait until Dec to send it in again. Fortunately it seems evisa is now delayed until May, but I would make sure to get the evisa before booking any travel or even better, travel to other locations and skip Brazil altogether if they have so many issues giving evisas!
Also, AM is now 30% for MQD, so not as lucrative anymore.

Have a look what hurdles Brazilians need to pass to get an US visa ... https://br.usembassy.gov/visas/nonimmigrant-visas/
Europeans don't need to apply for a visa when visiting Brazil

Well, I guess that's the tit-for-tat game Brazil plays with US citizens. Brazilian citizens need a visa for a visit to the USA and I pretty much guess that Brazilians have to submit that kind of info in order to get an US visa approved.

Took AeroMexico BCN > MEX > GRU in December and thought they were fantastic even though we got the older business class on the MEX > GRU leg
