Frequently asked questions
Is a stopover in Maceió worth it when flying from Florianópolis to Recife?
It depends on the day's fares: the stop only pays off when both legs (plus the hotel) cost about the same as, or less than, the direct flight. Geographically, Maceió (MCZ) is about 2,420 km from Florianópolis and 180 km from Recife, a 0% detour over the straight line. Maceió’s coast has calm reef-protected beaches and natural pools such as Pajuçara. The live prices on this page compare both options when recent data is available.
Which cities make sense as a stop between Florianópolis and Recife?
By our criteria (at most 60% extra distance, moving the traveller closer to the destination and at least 150 km from both ends), the stops with the least detour are Maceió (MCZ, +0%), Salvador (SSA, +0%), Aracaju (AJU, +0%), São Paulo (GRU, +0%), and Belo Horizonte (CNF, +1%).
Do I need to re-check my bags at the stop?
Yes. With two separate tickets, checked baggage is not transferred between them: you collect your bags at the stop and check them in again for the next flight. Check the baggage allowance on each ticket.
What is the risk of buying separate tickets?
If the first flight is delayed or cancelled, the airline on the second ticket has no obligation to rebook you. That is why every stopover option is marked "separate tickets", and we recommend staying overnight at the stop or leaving a generous gap between flights.
How much time should I leave between flights on a same-day connection?
We recommend at least 3 hours between the first flight landing and the second one departing, because you have to collect your bags and check in again. Options with less time, or unknown times, are flagged.
Are the prices shown here up to date?
Prices come from recent searches recorded by Aviasales (Travelpayouts), and each one shows when and where it was observed. Prices seen more than 48 hours ago are flagged, and the page is only indexed when there is data from the last 48 hours. Always confirm the fare on the booking site before you buy.
Is the hotel at the stop included in the price?
Only when we have a hotel quote near the stop’s airport. Without one, the option is labelled "hotel not included" and the total covers the flights only.
How far is Florianópolis from Recife?
About 2,600 km in a straight line between FLN and REC airports. Major Northeast hub next to Boa Viagem beach; historic Olinda is a short drive away.
