Azul Airlines is one of the most traditional airlines in the country, and if you like hunting for deals, the TudoAzul program is a great option for paying less for Azul airline tickets. In addition to benefits for frequent flyers, it allows you to accumulate points and redeem tickets often at prices well below normal – especially during the early morning hours when demand is lower.
Next, you'll understand how the program works and why this time might be ideal for discounted redemptions.
What is TudoAzul?
TudoAzul is the Azul airline's points program. It follows the basic logic of loyalty programs: the more you use the company's services or those of its partners, the more points you accumulate.
These points can be exchanged for:
- Domestic and international flights,
- Cabin upgrades,
- Products available at partner stores such as Magazine Luiza, Netshoes, and others.
How do I accumulate points on TudoAzul?
You can earn points in different ways:
- Flying Azul: points are calculated based on the amount paid for the ticket.
- Purchases at partner establishments: when providing your CPF (Brazilian tax identification number) at stores, gas stations, pharmacies, and other retail chains.
- TudoAzul Club: a monthly subscription that offers recurring points and exclusive benefits, such as early access to promotions and bonuses on card transfers.
- Azul Itaucard credit cards: accumulate points directly in the program and include benefits such as priority boarding.

Air travel has become increasingly accessible, especially for those who know how to take advantage of good purchasing strategies.
