American Airlines is discounting their flights to Brazil again — this time by as much as 50 percent on the usual cost of a ticket! Roundtrip flights to Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, Brazil, from Detroit, Cincinnati and Minneapolis are now just $485-$581 roundtrip, including tax.

Travel is valid from November to April. This travel window is Rio’s most popular season because of the warm and sunny weather that allows for plenty of beach time. If you’ve been wanting to experience Rio’s Carnival (Feb. 5-9), this fare will get you there cheap!

Note: The lower end of the fare range from all three gateways may require a 2 week stay.
