I just booked 2 return flights last weekend in a Gol internet only promotion from SP to Salvador leaving June 18th for Rs. 296 / return ticket. Now thats cheap. On Monday they shot back up to about Rs 700 / return. They have been having this weekend sale on for 3 weeks now. ( weekends only) Check this weekend, they will probaby be back on sale if anyone wants to fly cheap in May - June 26th.
I just booked my internal flights and I can't fly anywhere for that money in Europe. Sao Paulo to Fortaleza 71 €, Fortaleza to Natal - 41 €, Natal to Salvador 47 €. I got a bus to Lisbon the other day from Málaga which cost me 100 € - flights were around 250 €. Málaga to Madrid a couple of weeks ago was 125 €

Dotty said on another post somewhere that internal flights are dirt cheap. I believe the expression she used was "the fare of a bus ticket". After booking my flights I'm inclined to agree although I'm sure she'll probably come up with some really expensive flights out of Natal now to try and scare people off.
