 <\/p>\n

One of the best things about American Airlines is the ability to use only 20,000 AAdvantage miles to travel in Economy class from North America to certain cities of Brazil such as Rio de Janeiro, Manacus, Sao Paulo, Salvador, and Recife. 20,000 American Airlines miles can only be used during the Off-peak season which is also called a MileSAAver Off-Peak Award. The off-peak seasonal dates are defined as \u201cMar. 1 – May 31; Aug. 16 – Nov. 30\u201d.<\/p>\n

I know a lot of people already have plans booked for this fall, so I am only going to focus on next year\u2019s dates which are Mar. 1 \u2013 May 31. As of today, the award calendar only goes up to mid-May.<\/p>\n

I have been to Sao Paulo two times and most recently got back from Rio de Janeiro. I would love to explore more of Brazil and visit different cities. It\u2019s a great bargain with the ability to travel to Brazil from North America for only 20,000 miles.<\/p>\n

Be aware that TAM has a lot of cheap fares if you need to travel within Brazil and you can earn miles on Star Alliance.<\/p>\n

So which cities in Brazil have the best award availability for only 20,000 AA miles?<\/p>\n
