OAB travel discounts: Azul, LATAM, GOL
Lawyers registered with the Brazilian Bar Association (OAB) can access discounts on domestic flights with Azul, LATAM, and GOL, as well as on car rentals
Lawyers registered with the Ordem dos Advogados do Brasil (OAB) can access discounts on domestic flights and car rentals. The benefits are managed through the Coordenação Nacional das Caixas de Assistência dos Advogados (CONCAD) and apply to Azul, LATAM, and GOL airlines, plus Localiza for car hire, according to a report from Passageiro de Primeira.
These partnership discounts are not automatically the best deal. They cannot be combined with public promotions from the companies. The source advises travelers to always compare the price found through the OAB portal with the standard public rate before booking.
Airline discounts for OAB members
Three major Brazilian airlines offer special conditions for registered lawyers. The discounts and access methods vary.
| Airline | Discount | Key Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Azul | Up to 8% off | Depends on fare class, route, and availability. Access via OAB's national portal. Family members can use it if on the same reservation. |
| LATAM | 8% off domestic fares | Access via CONCAD. Valid for up to seven passengers per booking. The lawyer must travel and pay with their own credit card. |
| GOL | Special commercial conditions | No fixed percentage. An exclusive portal shows any special fares. The lawyer must be part of the reservation. |
Azul's discount of up to 8% is applied during the search on the partnership portal. The actual percentage depends on the fare class and commercial availability. Not all flights or fares are eligible.
LATAM offers a fixed 8% discount on domestic tickets. The discount applies to the base fare and may not cover additional fees and services.
GOL's program works differently. It provides an exclusive portal where lawyers can search for flights. Any special commercial conditions for the desired route will be displayed. The potential savings are not guaranteed in advance and depend on factors like travel date and booking lead time.
Car rental and usage rules
Beyond flights, OAB members can get discounts on car rentals. The partnership with Localiza offers up to 10% off, depending on the vehicle category chosen.
The reservation must be made through the partnership channel. The discount is calculated automatically but does not apply to fees, additional products, or services outside the eligible rate. Payment must follow the established rules, typically with the lawyer's own credit card.
Specific rules govern who can use these travel benefits. The partnerships are primarily for lawyers regularly enrolled with the OAB. In some cases, family members can benefit if traveling on the same reservation as the lawyer. Some partnerships may also include OAB employees. The lawyer beneficiary is usually required to be part of the reservation or rental.
How to access and compare prices
All national convenants are available through the CONCAD portal. After logging in with their credentials, lawyers can consult the available partners and proceed to each benefit's specific portal. Depending on the partnership, the purchase may be completed directly on the airline or rental company's exclusive environment.
The most important step is comparison. The source recommends a simple process: search for the flight or vehicle on the company's traditional channel, then perform the same search through the OAB partnership link. Compare the final price, including all fees and services, and check the rules for changes and cancellations. Finally, choose the option that offers the best cost-benefit.
Savings are not guaranteed. During periods of high public promotion, a standard offer might be cheaper than the partnership rate. The potential for savings is greatest during high-demand periods when fewer public promotions are available. For car rentals, the up to 10% discount can make more of a difference on longer rentals or higher vehicle categories.
