Who flies from São Paulo to Orlando?
Mostly Brazilian holidaymakers. Visit Orlando counted 736,300 visitors from Brazil in 2025, up 5.6% on 2024. Only Canada and the United Kingdom sent more international visitors. The figures come from a Visit Orlando release of May 7, 2026.
Brazil also leads on crypto use. It ranks 1st in the 2026 Chainalysis Global Crypto Adoption Index, as listed by StatRanker on October 4, 2026. A dollar stablecoin keeps a travel budget in the currency of the fare.

Is there a non-stop flight from São Paulo to Orlando?
Yes, on LATAM. On October 12, 2026, LATAM offered two non-stop Boeing 787 flights for November 11, 2026. They left Guarulhos at 08:25 and 11:40 and took 8 h 50 min each.
Four airlines appeared in the market fares observed: Avianca, Copa Airlines, United Airlines, LATAM. Only LATAM flew without a stop; the others connect through their hubs. On that date, the non-stop fares observed cost more than several one-stop fares.
Those fares were observed on the market; they are not our selling price. The live search shows the fares and stops for your own dates. Sanctioned airlines are excluded from the survey, as is any itinerary with a stop in the United Kingdom or a sanctioned country.
How long do one-stop flights to Orlando take?
From about 11 h 20 min to over 21 hours, depending on the connection. These are the one-stop itineraries observed on October 12, 2026:
- Copa Airlines through Panama City: 11 h 20 min to 12 h 51 min, with connections from 51 minutes to 2 h 20 min.
- Avianca through Bogotá: from 12 h 10 min with a short connection to 21 h 10 min with an overnight wait.
- United Airlines through Newark or Washington Dulles: about 14 h 15 min, on overnight flights from Guarulhos.
A short connection saves time but leaves little margin. Check the connection time in each result before you book.
Do I need a transit visa for a stop in Bogotá or Panama City?
Not in Bogotá for most passports, including Brazilian ones. Colombia's Resolution 3717 of 2023 lists 27 nationalities that need a visa for direct airport transit. Brazil, Argentina, Mexico and Spain are not on the list. The transit visa allows a stay of up to 24 hours in the transit zone of one airport.
A long wait can be different. If you leave the airport during an overnight connection, you enter Colombia, and Colombian entry rules apply. For Panama City, check transit rules for your passport with Panamanian authorities.
On United, the connection is in the United States itself. Your US entry documents are checked there, before the domestic flight to Orlando.
Which documents does a Brazilian need to fly to Orlando?
A valid passport, and in most cases a US visa. Brazil is not on the US Department of Homeland Security list of Visa Waiver Program countries, checked on October 12, 2026. A traveller without that waiver generally needs a visa. Check your own case with the US embassy or consulates in Brazil; we do not give visa advice.
At checkout, type each traveller's names exactly as in the passport, plus date of birth and gender. Each booking needs an email address, which we never publish or sell. We delete passport details and dates of birth 30 days after the trip. No ID upload, no selfie at checkout. Airline ID rules still apply.
What should I know about baggage and cash on this route?
Baggage depends on the airline and the fare family you choose. LATAM, Avianca, Copa Airlines and United Airlines each set their own cabin and checked allowances. On SatFares, baggage and fare rules (changes, refunds) are confirmed with your booking and shown on your e-ticket.
Cash has a fixed rule on arrival. US Customs and Border Protection requires travellers to report currency or monetary instruments over $10,000 when they enter the country. FinCEN Form 105 can be filed online. Unreported amounts can be seized, according to the CBP page last modified on November 24, 2025.
Which refund rules cover a São Paulo to Orlando ticket?
The US Department of Transportation rule, because the trip ends in the United States. Under 14 CFR 260.6, a covered airline that is the merchant of record must give a full and prompt refund. This applies when a flight is cancelled or significantly changed and you do not accept the alternative. For an international itinerary, a change of 6 hours or more counts as significant.
Covered airlines include foreign airlines that fly to the United States, such as Avianca or Copa Airlines. When a ticket agent is the merchant of record, the airline must tell the agent without delay whether you are eligible.
Our own rule on an airline cancellation: you get a refund in USDT or USDC within 7 days, or a balance credit, as you choose. Details: refunds when the airline cancels.
Held, not charged
Your balance is held at checkout
The exact total shown is held on your balance. Nothing is charged yet.
We book the ticket for you
Bookings are made on request: our team books the ticket with the airline and confirms the final total. If it is higher than the amount held, you accept the new total or the amount is released.
Charged only when the e-ticket number is issued
Your balance is charged when the airline issues the e-ticket number. If we can't get the ticket issued in time, the full amount is released to your balance.
If the total changes before the ticket is issued, you see the new total and choose: accept it, or have the amount released. Nothing extra is ever taken without your agreement.
Frequently asked questions
Can I fly to Orlando from Congonhas or Viracopos instead?
You can search them, but this page covers Guarulhos (GRU), where all the observed flights departed. São Paulo has three airports in our data: Guarulhos, Congonhas (CGH) and Viracopos (VCP) in Campinas. Each result shows the departure airport, so check it before you book transport to the airport.
What if my Avianca connection in Bogotá is overnight?
One Avianca itinerary observed on October 12, 2026 had a wait of 10 h 50 min in Bogotá. We sell flights only, so you arrange anything you need for the night yourself. If you leave the airport, you enter Colombia, and Colombian entry rules for your passport apply. Choose a shorter connection if you prefer to stay airside.
What happens if my US visa is refused after I book?
The fare rules of your ticket decide what comes back, because the cancellation comes from your side. Any refund is credited to your SatFares balance. A visa refusal does not count as an airline cancellation. Check your visa status before you pay. The fare conditions are confirmed with your booking and shown on your e-ticket.
Which coin keeps the amount stable for a trip planned months ahead?
USDT or USDC, because both follow the US dollar, the currency of our prices. USDT works on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20); USDC works on Ethereum (ERC-20) only. With BTC, ETH, SOL or LTC, the dollar value of your balance moves with the market until you book.
Does the US 6-hour rule apply to a one-stop trip through Panama City?
In most cases, yes. The rule covers scheduled flights to, from or within the United States, by US and foreign airlines. Copa Airlines flies to the United States, so it is a covered airline. For an international itinerary, a change of 6 hours or more counts as significant. The exact case depends on your itinerary and on the airline's response.
Can I bring more than $10,000 in cash to Orlando?
Yes, but you must report it. US Customs and Border Protection requires travellers to report currency or monetary instruments over $10,000 when they enter or leave the country. FinCEN Form 105 can be filed online. Amounts not reported can be seized, and penalties can apply.
Is IOF added at the SatFares checkout?
No. No card is used at our checkout, and SatFares does not collect IOF or any other Brazilian tax. Brazilian tax and exchange rules still apply to how you buy, hold and spend crypto. Paying in crypto may be a taxable event in your country. Ask your crypto platform or a Brazilian accountant about your own operations.
