Ah, Itubera: a charming little town in Brazil that seems to have forgotten about airplanes altogether. The local airport, ITE, might as well be a museum exhibit on the history of air travel, considering it boasts a grand total of zero flight routes. Yes, you heard that right. If you were hoping to hop on a plane without a bit of a drive, you might want to reconsider.
But fear not! If you’re yearning for a tropical getaway, you can always embark on a road trip to the nearest airport with actual flights—perhaps in the nearby Salvador. You’ll get to experience the thrill of Brazilian highways, complete with the delightful unpredictability of local traffic and the occasional friendly goat.
When planning your escape, make sure to book your flights ahead of time, as the hustle and bustle of travelers from nearby towns can lead to some unexpected surprises, like being out of luggage space or finding yourself in a customs queue that resembles a line for a popular nightclub. Don’t forget to check FlyDoha for all your flight comparison needs when you finally decide to leave Itubera!
Oh, and seasonal patterns? Well, let’s just say that during the summer, everyone seems to be leaving town. So, if you’re looking for some peace and quiet, you may want to stick around while everyone else is frantically trying to escape the tropical heat.
