From India to Brazil
Hi,
I've been living in India for a year now and I'm planning a trip back to Brazil, my home country. My wish is to find a good balance between cheap prices and 1 or 2 worthwhile stopovers (i have only 10 days available). So far, the only feasible option I found is to take an Emirates flight with a stopover in Dubai. The price for a one-way ticket is around US $ 900. I tried through the pacific and there are cheap flights until Australia or New Zealand (For example, Tiger Airways or Jetstar Asia) but I cannot find any decent flight cheaper than US$ 2000 (one way) from there to the west coast of South America. On despegar.com there is a flight for less than US$ 900 from Sydney to Santiago (Chile) but it goes first all the way up to Canada (it's an Air Canada flight) and, apart from a really longer trip, I would need a transit visa for that. The classical option is to go through Europe but I've done that already a couple of times. Through South Africa is also very expensive. Any other ideas? Do you know any other cheap airlines other than those that I've mentioned here? Thanks, Ricardo |

And the India/Dubai flights are invariably packed, the food is dreadful and you get a security check 'airside' when you arrive. -- William Black I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach Time for tea. |

I've flown Hyderabad - Dubai on Emirates a couple of times, and everything was fine. The security check at Dubai is standard for all incoming passengers (before entering the transit area) and it makes no difference whether you are arriving from London or from India: it is no big deal. |

IME Emirates is a popular airline for passengers travelling to/from India/UK because of its extensive route network within India. Obviously many of those flights involve a connection in Dubai. |
