When this route gets cheap.
Fares bottom out in November around $1,618 and peak in January near $2,142, 32% dearer, across the 4 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes 4 stops and takes about 30 hours outbound, on a 5-night trip — ticketed under China Eastern, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $1,618 for 18,342 km each way, that works out to about $44 per 1,000 km flown. That is about the $42 per 1,000 km typical of ultra-long-haul fares here. Across the 11 departure cities we track at a similar distance from São Paulo, this fare ranks 10th — 53% above the $1,055 from Delhi. It is also the 2nd cheapest of the 7 routes of similar length we watch out of Seoul. The best time to be in São Paulo: Mar–May · Sep–Nov.

Good to know
SEL → SAO, answered.
Is $1,618 a good price for Seoul to São Paulo?
Yes — the seasonal median for this route is around $2,100 round-trip. At $1,618 you're 23% below that, which we rate good for this route.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Seoul to São Paulo?
Across 4 months of cached-fare history, Nov 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.
How far in advance should I book SEL → São Paulo?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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 4 months of cached fares, Nov comes out lowest on this route. Our guide Why flight prices change covers what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Seoul to São Paulo?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under China Eastern. We hold no nonstop fare on this route right now, which does not mean none flies — search your exact dates to see what does.
Are these prices guaranteed?
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.
