re: #235 HoosierHoops

I’ll check it on the web today..What Airline? AA?

AA or JAL to SP then Tam to Rio. It’s a long drive, however, from SP international airport to the domestic airport. I think that some years ago, armed gangs were routinely hijacking taxis going from Rio International into the city. Eventually, they managed to hijack a taxi which contained, instead of tourists, a senior Brazilian judge, who was so horrified that he made sure that the military ruled out any repeats of the incident. This part may be apocryphal, but whenever I’ve been there on business, I’ve always been advised to go to SP first.

By the time 2016 rolls around, things will be quite different, and given the volume of tourists, I would have thought you’ll have no problem. Also, I can’t believe that the Brazilian government will allow anything bad to happen to incoming tourists, at least not between the airport and the city.
