to your selected international VARIG gateway. The flight information
is provided as a guideline and is correct for all departures through

2007 have not yet been finalized. Please do not book domestic
flights before receiving final flight schedules from us. Please note
that the schedules for VARIG change frequently,
we strongly suggest that you leave plenty of connecting time between
flights and that you do not purchase domestic tickets without asking
your travel agent or the airline to verify the times for your international
flights.
VARIG
Brazilian Airlines Toll-free number is 800-GO VARIG.
Be sure to arrive at your international gateway at least 3½ hours prior
to the international departure time. Allow a similar amount of time
for the return trip. If you are traveling during the month of March or mid-October to mid-November, please note that each year the airlines traditionally undergo flight schedule changes during this time, when Daylight Savings Time begins and ends. Please note that we may only be notified of these schedule changes 60 days or less prior to your tour departure. If you are booking flights separately from your home city to connect with the included flights, we strongly suggest that you allow a 5 - 5 ½ hours connection time between these flights. This can help prevent any problems that may arise from unexpected airline schedule changes and prevent the unlikely event of missing your flight.Friendly Planet cannot be held responsible for
