American has one-upped United and put significantly more cities in Brazil from the West Coast on sale. Here’s what we found for availability from Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Sacramento, Portland and Seattle to the following:

• Rio de Janeiro [GIG]
• Sao Paulo [GRU]
• Recife [REC]
• Salvador da Bahia [SSA]
• Brasilia [BSB]
• Belo Horizonte [CNF]

We like the American sale better since it’s to more destinations and American allows for a risk-free 24 hour hold.
