TAM BRAZIL AIRPASS

Concept and Use

 TAM BRAZIL AIRPASS was created for foreign and Brazilian citizens residing abroad, who wish to travel within Brazil¹ on flights operated by TAM (JJ) at a reduced rate.

To acquire the TAM BRAZIL AIRPASS, the passenger should:

- Purchase an international roundtrip ticket departing from a city outside of Brazil, with destination to any city in Brazil.

- Request the TAM BRAZIL AIRPASS, which must be issued in conjunction with the international ticket.

The options of different destinations or stopovers allow for traveling to up to 9 (nine) cities in economy class.  However, there must be a coupon for each portion of the trip – please refer to “Stopovers and Connections.”

¹The city of Ciudad del Este (AGT – Paraguay) is considered part of the TAM Brazil Airpass on flights JJ* or PZ, as it belongs to Iguassu Falls territory.
