Ticket and Boarding Documents

Purchase

Passengers may buy air tickets directly in the airline website, in travel agencies or stores. The total price of the airline ticket must be presented at the end of the search performed by passengers (including all fees, airport taxes and other governmental taxes). 

The price of the airline ticket may vary according to the channel used for sale, such as the Internet, stores, airport ticket counter and travel agencies and it is forbidden to charge for its issuance due to the channel used.

 All information about air transport services and rules  by the airlines must be in Portuguese, in a clear and objective way to the passenger in their physical stores, in the electronic addresses (websites) and by telephone. Always request for these rules in writing form.

You are not required to buy any optional service that airlines could offer during the online ticket purchase. The travel insurance, comfort seat and extra luggage, for example, are optional services and may not come pre-selected. Passengers must actively select optional services and airlines must present their costs separately from the ticket price.

Filling in data and name correction

During the purchase process, be careful and do not make any mistake when filling in name and personal information because, for security reasons, a passenger may be prevented from continuing the travel in case of inconsistency of information.

For domestic or international flights, the passenger can request the correction of data with no additional charge before the check-in. After receiving your ticket receipt and at your earliest convenience, check all the data. If you notice a mistake in the spelling of your name, notify the airline as soon as possible.

In case of international trips that include more than one airline, the passenger may be charged for the correction.

Before completing the online purchase, the passenger will have access to the summary of all information concerning the contracted service. The contract will also contain information regarding rebooking and cancellation charges and refund policies, among others.
