CA - GRU-MAD - 7862 BRL / $1537 r/t - Business

Air China (CA) resumed their GRU-MAD-PEK service on Sunday and on May 6 to May May 16 or May 23 you can fly Sao Paulo, Brazil (GRU) to Madrid (MAD) for 7862 BRL or $1537 USD roundtrip in business. There are also a few working dates at this price toward the end of the schedule. Google Flights is trying to price this as two one-way tickets so it displays as $3.6k until you get to the final page and ITA Matrix also refuses to show proper availability. Momondo or Kayak work though!

Minimum stay is 5 days. This is a non-stop flight, so there aren't many other restrictions.

Very similar fare to one I posted back in 2015 CA: GRU-MAD J rt ai USD 1,750

I wish CA were selling good fares from GRU to PEK and other Asian destinations as well, but that's not the case (yet). GRU-MAD has a lot of competition (daily LA, daily UX and IB more than 7 week), so J fares have often been low.

I see this is worthy of a share on SF! I'm sure the few available seats at this price will be gone in no time!

If you want a one-way from SAO to Europe there's LATAM and Avianca, but both cost nearly as much as this roundtrip.

AV - $1127 one-way - https://www.google.com/travel/flight...C1ypn3SBepbXB8
LA - $1282 one-way - https://www.google.com/travel/flight...58A9ZSfoPNFpn7

I actually happen to be looking for a one way back from that region to Europe some time in February or March. It's starting to look like it might be another Iberia Avios job.
