Thu, 4 May 2006 21:38:01 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author janpersson - What a pitiful company! This time I took Varig from JFK (NY) to Sao Paulo April 12th. They changed my reservation from an evening departure to a morning departure. And that was the beginning of the "adventure". We arrived in SP at 8:30PM and saw our...

Sun, 19 Mar 2006 22:21:56 GMT

rating: 0/5 by: Epinions Author jorgemaria - Is hard to believe that an Airline that was one of the best in the world, has become over the years as “one of the worst”… It was my favorite to South America!, food, cabin, service, immaculate planes.. Now it is all the opposite: No food,...

Thu, 16 Feb 2006 22:51:55 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author howieeg - Varig Airlines is an apt metaphor for it's home base, Rio de Jeneiro. The people are inherently fun, cautiously friendly and surprisingly professional, but the signs of poverty and a bit of danger permeate throughout. In a coach trip from Miami to...
