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 an attractive rate.

To purchase the TAM BRAZIL AIRPASS, the passenger should:

• Purchase an international roundtrip ticket beginning outside of Brazil, with destination to any city in Brazil
• Request the TAM BRAZIL AIRPASS, which is issued in conjunction with the international ticket
• The number of options of different destinations or stopovers allow 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, once it is part of the Iguassu Falls territory.
