How much is a flight from Foz do Iguacu to Rio de Janeiro?

"How much is the Foz do Iguacu to Rio de Janeiro flight?" is the question we get most, and the honest answer is that it moves every day. Low fares open months ahead and disappear as seats sell; peak seasons, school holidays and the most convenient departure times cost more; a fare with a checked bag and a flexible ticket cost more than a hand-luggage-only seat. Haqqi Tours arranges the current cost for your date in a few minutes of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.

Ask us for two or three options and we send the cost of each - for example the cheapest fare with hand luggage only, the same flight with a checked bag, and the best-timed departure of the day - so the comparison is in front of you before you book.

Cheapest flight from Foz do Iguacu to Rio de Janeiro: how to pay less

A cheap Foz do Iguacu to Rio de Janeiro flight ticket is rarely luck. It is the right airline, the right day and the right fare class - which is what we look up for you:

  • Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which often carry the lowest fares
  • Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot
  • Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag
  • Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day
  • Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we check
  • Ask about infant and child fares and about group bookings for four or more

Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which departure is the cheapest flight from Foz do Iguacu to Rio de Janeiro that day and what a slightly different day would cost.
