Concept and Use

The TAM Brazil AIRPASS was created for foreign and Brazilian citizens residing abroad who wish to travel within Brazil* on flights operated by TAM (JJ) at an attractive rate.

To purchase the TAM Brazil AIRPASS, the passenger should:

• purchase an international roundtrip ticket commencing outside of Brazil, with destination to any city in Brazil;
• request the airpass, which is issued in conjunction with the international ticket.
• The number of options of different destinations or stopovers allows for 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."

*The 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.
