I keep getting emails from BACC Travel telling me that a round trip from New York to São Paulo or Rio can be purchased for $399. I have booked tickets through BACC many times in the past, but whenever I traveled this promotional fare was apparently never available.
If any of you manages to call BACC and book a ticket to Brazil for as low as $299 flying out of Boston, will you please let us all know? I wasn't even able to book a round trip from São Paulo to Bahia for that kind of money, so it does sound a little too good to be true.
I was never able to buy from BCAA for less that was $699 on Delta roundtrip. That was 1997.

They are just trying to fool the customers. Once the customer calls them to confirm the price, he or she is caught.

Does the USA have a customer agency? It could be sent to them to investigate some abuse from BCAA. In Brazil, it could be reported to PROCON or to Ministério Público.

I'd go ahead and book the flight!!! Otherwise, Beam me up, Scotty!

I booked my trip this past July and used some miles, but the American Airlines prices THEN were way more already! This has to be some sort of scam.
