Fares bottom out in April around $867 and peak in December near $1,303, 50% dearer, across the 5 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 11.5 hours outbound, on a 16-night trip — ticketed under Air Canada, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $867 for 7,686 km each way, that works out to about $56 per 1,000 km flown. That is above the $44 per 1,000 km typical of long-haul fares here. Across the 17 departure cities we track at a similar distance from São Paulo, this fare ranks 16th — 60% above the $542 from Mexico City. For context, the middle fare among the 36 routes of similar length we watch out of New York is $594. The best time to be in São Paulo: Mar–May · Sep–Nov.

Route facts
Good to know
Only slightly. The seasonal median is around $945 round-trip and this fare is 8% under it. We do not call a drop notable until 20%, so this is an ordinary price for the route rather than a reason to hurry.
Across 5 months of cached-fare history, Apr comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in São Paulo are Mar–May · Sep–Nov — when those overlap, that's your window.
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. What we can measure is which month is cheap: across 5 months of cached fares, Apr comes out lowest on this route. Our guide Why flight prices change covers what does move a fare.
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Air Canada. We hold no nonstop fare on this route right now, which does not mean none flies — search your exact dates to see what does.
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on 17 October). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
