You can save a decent amount of money right now on business-class travel to Brazil via Copa Airlines. A new fare sale has flights to Rio de Janeiro from Miami and Washington, D.C., at uncommonly low prices. Rio has a well-deserved reputation for being one of the world’s greatest party cities, not to mention it’s home to two iconic beaches: Copacabana and Ipanema. So, if you’ve been considering heading to South America, keep reading.
Aside from the great prices, this deal is enticing because the travel window is unusually wide. We found discounted flights from May until March 2025. Keep in mind that almost all the itineraries include layovers in Panama, but they are all reasonable in length. Also, some routes offer lie-flat seats on just one segment of the itinerary.

Rio’s next Carnival celebration takes place Feb. 28 through March 8, 2025. If you’re interested in being part of the iconic festival, you can book round-trip business class to land in Brazil right before the fun begins for less than $2,000. That’s an excellent price, especially considering how big an event Carnival is. Also, both legs of the return flight get you a lie-flat seat.

The discounts are just as easy to find for flights out of our nation’s capital. This business-class itinerary from IAD to GIG for Carnival is available for just $2,254. Like the Miami itinerary, both legs of the return journey are with a lie-flat seat.

Want to escape the Northeast’s harsh winter but aren’t keen on dealing with the massive crowds at Carnival? That’s not a problem, as the same $2,254 price is available for a round-trip flight from Washington to Rio in January.
