For Diamond members, the only benefit on partner airlines is when flying United, where you receive priority check-in\/boarding and additional checked baggage. As for the challenge itself, the exact requirements aren\u2019t clearly stated &#8211; data points online suggest completing either three or five flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Azul\u2019s main hub is in S\u00e3o Paulo, with a network covering destinations across Brazil. Its long-haul routes include Paris, Madrid, Lisbon, Porto, Orlando, and Fort Lauderdale.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/flightconnections-azul.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"657\" src=\"http:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/flightconnections-azul.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26384\" style=\"width:400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/flightconnections-azul.png 800w, https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/flightconnections-azul-300x246.png 300w, https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/flightconnections-azul-768x631.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>One more thing: if you plan to fly Azul, remember to link your <strong>Accor Live Limitless<\/strong> account \u2014 flights can earn both Azul miles and Accor points.

But if you\u2019re genuinely planning a deeper trip to \/ within Brazil, there\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ll fly Azul. Matching to an elite tier at least gets you free seat selection and checked baggage, which makes it worth taking advantage of.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brazil has been very hot on China&#8217;s social media, as they became the latest country that&#8217;s going to issue a visa waiver to Chinese citizens.
