GOL AIR SUCKS!!!…read more This was my first time taking GOL air flight. First the app won't let me check in online so we had to get to the airport early. We used the self checkin counter but when we went to drop the bag, only one of the counter was working so we waited in queue to drop the bag. On my turn, i was able to scan the bag and put in on belt and get the receipt but then belt tripped so bag was stuck there. Since no one was there to help, I had to take the bag out and stand in the queue for good 40 mins to drop the bag that was already scanned. What a stupidity and horrible service. That is not it though. We boarded the plane somehow and then sat in the plane for 75 mins on the runway! So 3 hrs flight took my entire day! I would recommend stay away from GOL air!

The positive: 1. I reached my destination safely…read more 2. In Sao Paulo, Brazil, they made changes to my 2nd connecting flight and made it earlier, rather than me waiting for a 5 hour connection. I arrived a lot earlier than planned, woohoo!! 3. In Brazil on departure, the check in gate they have been consistently nice, professional and friendly in Salvador, Bahia. The negative: 1. The check-in process at Dulles International (USA), was a hectic, confusing, nightmare. They were short staffed and the line was the longest of all the airlines. Once at the counter, she said run to my gate. I made it, barely. 2. On the plane departure from IAD, there was a 45 minute delay beforen take-off. They didn't explain much, only after 30 minutes they explained they had mechanical issues and there was a storm further south. Thus 2 reasons for the delay. 3. In Sao Paulo, Brazil, the stewardess' on the plane did not greet me when I got on, they were too caught up in personal chit chat, not welcoming. 4. They lost my luggage. I arrived to my destination Saturday morning. After a very long process explaining next steps to retreive it, it arived to my hotel Monday evening 6 pm. Apparently, my luggage did not make it to my plane I left out on in time for departure. Hence, the chaotic check-in process was just that, chaotic. I realized this on a connecting flight connection. I had to file paper work in Sao Paulo. You just have to trust it will all work out when your luggage does not drive as planned. Bottom line, I know I will afely reach my destination with Avianca, however after flying with them several times now to Brazil and back, customer service is sort of hit or miss. I don't expect high customer satisfaction.

We had some Brazilian beer & cheese bread, bread was so tasty & the beers really hit the spot after the long travel. There were plenty of options for food & shopping, my only complain would be having the Latam lounge closer it was like all the way on the opposite side & since our time was limited we just couldn't waste the time looking for it.

You pay a flat rate to get to the city (it's R$140 for me to get to Pinheiros), offer the attendant your exact address and then have the ability to pay the full amount on your credit card. If you're lucky, there won't be a line and you can just hop in a taxi, but if it's a Monday around 8/9am, you may have to join the line. The worst I've had was 45 minutes (and that's after landing from an international red eye flight). The pros: you can pay with your card in advance, no language barrier issues, no worrying about whether the driver will take the long route to run the fare, nice and clean cars.
