São Paulo → New York.
Brazil's gateway to the world's financial capital.
São Paulo to New York is one of the busiest transatlantic routes in Latin America, with a 10-hour nonstop operated by LATAM. Four carriers share the traffic, and fares range from around $750 on a genuine deal to over $2,200 at peak. Knowing when to fly is what separates the floor price from the ceiling.
Competition keeps deals available year-round. Travelers who flex dates by ±3 days and book 60+ days out consistently pay 25–40% below average. This guide covers the full price calendar, which airlines fly the route, and the hacks that cut up to 60% off full fare.

Money-saving hacks.
Real strategies used by nomads, frequent flyers and travel hackers. No magic — just careful reading of rules.
01
Use AAdvantage via the LATAM partnership
AAdvantage (American Airlines) accepts LATAM Pass miles through the OneWorld partnership. Brazil–US awards run 60–90k points plus taxes. Frequent US travelers should consider earning AAdvantage directly on a co-branded card for better redemption value.
02
Compare Miami, Orlando, and New York as hubs
Miami is the natural Brazilian entry point, but Orlando often prices lower due to stronger competition. New York fares run higher but offer more carrier choice. Always compare all three for the same travel window.
03
Get your US visa well ahead of time
Brazilian passport holders need a B1/B2 visa — not ESTA. The fee is US$185 and processing takes 60–120 days depending on the consulate. Airlines will not board passengers without a valid visa.
04
Fly into a secondary city and connect domestically
GRU → MIA → secondary US city often undercuts GRU → that city nonstop. American, Delta, and United each operate dozens of domestic routes from Miami starting around US$80–200 when booked in advance.
Complete route guide.
The São Paulo–New York route connects GRU (Guarulhos) to JFK and handles one of the most consistent demand streams in transatlantic aviation. Scheduled nonstops run regularly at around 10 hours. The main carriers are LATAM, American Airlines, Delta, and United.
On timing strategy: the best months to fly this route are February, March, April, and November — fares below average, reasonable weather in New York, and competitive inventory. The worst are July, August, and December, when school holidays, major events, and peak-season demand push fares 2.5x above the floor. Flexing travel dates by ±3 days saves an average of 25–35% over a fixed date.
On booking windows: the sweet spot is 60–90 days out for low-to-mid season and 120–180 days out for peak. Last-minute purchases (under 14 days) rarely pay off — the exception is error fares that surface on deal-tracking blogs. Set alerts on Google Flights, Skyscanner, and Hopper to catch them.
On airline choice: each carrier has its own fare profile, loyalty program, and service quality. LATAM leads in frequency on the route. American is the natural alternative via codeshare or connection. Delta competes in specific pricing windows. Always compare — the gap between carriers can reach 40% on the same date.
On miles: 10 hours of flying generates significant points in any loyalty program. For travelers starting from New York, Delta SkyMiles and United MileagePlus are the most useful. Redemptions typically deliver 30–70% of the cash equivalent — a worthwhile long game for anyone using a transferable-points credit card.
On the flight itself: 10-hour nonstops require preparation. Hydrate before boarding, bring noise-canceling headphones, and upgrade your seat if you can — exit row, bulkhead, or premium economy. For overnight departures, a late takeoff means an early morning arrival that leaves the full day for recovery.
