Gol’s no-frills approach includes no alcohol carried on board their flights, but their consistently good time keeping and low, low prices more than make up for this serious omission. GOL have acknowledged that their purchase of Varig in 2007 was to acquire its successful route network out of Sao Paulo, as well as giving it an internationally well known brand name.

It is acknowledged that GOL have played an important part in the doubling of domestic traffic since 2001 and for anyone planning to fly within Brazil we recommend considering this dynamic, innovative and great value airline.
