We recommend buying in advance as the prices are generally better.
Excess baggage (when your bag goes over the allowed weight or size) can only be paid for at the airport, when you check in your bag.
So if you already know you’ll be carrying extra weight, it’s a good idea to buy extra baggage in advance. It’s usually cheaper than paying for excess at the airport.

Yes. Go to My Trips to buy or change your seat, as long as your fare allows it.
If you’re logged into your GOL Account, you can also manage seats under Upcoming Trips.
The best way to ensure that all travelers stay together is to choose seats in advance, before automatic booking (which begins 60 hours before the flight).
Depending on the rate and your Smiles category, this choice may have an additional cost.
If seats are not chosen, automatic booking will attempt to keep travelers from the same Reservation together, but this is not guaranteed.
Yes! If you want more comfort or need extra space (for example, to carry a musical instrument in the cabin), you can reserve an extra seat.
This can’t be done on the website. To request it, talk to GAL, GOL’s virtual assistant.
You can also check other customer service channels.
Important:
• Pricing follows the fare available at the time of booking.
• No boarding tax is charged for the extra seat.
• The extra seat does not include extra baggage.
You can choose your seat when buying your ticket or later by going to My Trips on GOL’s website or app.
Seat selection depends on availability and may have an extra cost, depending on your fare and the seat type (Economy or Comfort).
If no seat is selected in advance, GOL will automatically assign one starting 60 hours before the flight.
More details are available on the Economy Seat and Comfort Seat pages.

You can access My Trips without logging in. Just enter:
• Booking code or ticket number
• Trip origin
• Passenger’s last name (exactly as on the ticket)
Keep in mind:
• The booking code has 6 letters/numbers.
• The ticket number has 13 digits.
When the purchase is completed, GOL shows your booking code on screen and sends an email with all trip details.
If this didn’t happen, the ticket may not have been issued correctly. To check, go to My Trips using the booking code (if available), origin, and your last name.
If you don’t have this information, talk to GAL and use the customer service channels.
It’s also a good idea to confirm with your card issuer or payment app that the transaction was completed.
If the amount has already been debited and you haven't received confirmation of the purchase:
• Access the My Trips area to verify that the Reservation was generated
• If you don't have an account or can't locate the ticket, talk to GAL, our virtual assistant, or consult our service channels

If you haven’t checked in yet, just do it. Check-in opens 48 hours before the flight and can be done on the website, app, or at the airport.
Checking in online is a practical alternative, but may not be available in some cases. If this happens, check in directly at the airport, on the totems, or at the GOL counter.
Some reasons that prevent online check-in:
• The route requires extra document verification or security, such as international flights
• It is necessary to validate health data or entry into the destination country
• The Reserve has special service, such as for people with disabilities or unaccompanied children
• In some cases, the payment of the Reserve may undergo an additional security check, which requires in-person assistance
Arrive at the airport early to ensure a smooth departure.
Names with inversions (e.g., “Silva Maria” instead of “Maria Silva”) or minor typos (e.g., “Josse” instead of “Jose”) can be corrected, provided that the change does not mischaracterize the traveler - that is, it is still possible to identify them, since the exchange of travelers is not allowed.
Corrections must be requested prior to check-in.
To make this adjustment, contact GAL or access our service channels.
No. The change of traveler is not allowed, even if the ticket is still valid and the check-in has not been
made.If you are no longer able to travel, cancelling or rescheduling your ticket must follow the fare rules of your reservation.
To learn more, see the cancellation and refund page or talk to GAL.
You can correct some ticket details, such as typos, incomplete names, or reversed names, as long as the change does not alter the passenger’s identity.
Example: changing “Maria Siva” to “Maria Silva” is allowed.
Changing “Maria Silva” to “Maria Souza” is not possible, as it counts as a passenger change.
If your booking includes partner airlines, different rules may apply.
Corrections must be requested before check-in. To do this, contact GAL, GOL’s virtual assistant, or use the customer service channels.
Yes! Even if the credit is in your account, you can use it to buy tickets or services for someone else.
• Make sure you're logged in to the same account used for the purchase or cancellation
• Confirm that the change or cancellation has already been completed
• Wait a few hours after the request
If the credits still don't appear, talk to GAL, our virtual assistant, or access our service channels.
Yes! Even if the credit is in your account, you can use it to buy tickets or services for someone else.
No. Credits are linked to the account where they were generated, but they can be used to buy tickets or services for other people.
After 365 days from the issue date, credits expire and can no longer be used.
You can use your GOL Credits to fully or partially pay for GOL tickets and services (such as luggage, seat, etc.), on the website or in the app.
At the payment stage, choose the “GOL Credit” option. They are available for 365 days from the date they were generated.
Yes. Just enter your card details correctly at the time of purchase.
The cardholder does not have to be the traveler.
Yes. Purchases made through the GOL Reservations Center, stores, or kiosks may include a service fee, calculated as follows:
• R$ 40.00 for purchases up to R$ 299.99
• 10% of the fare value for higher amounts
You can pay for your GOL ticket and services through the website or app with:
• Credit card (we accept all major flags)
• Pix
• Digital wallets (such as PayPal and options integrated into the app)
• Smiles Credit Card or GOL Negócios Card
If the purchase is made at physical GOL stores or at the airport, it is also possible to pay in cash (national currency).
If your payment is not approved, we suggest:
• Checking with your bank or card issue to see if there was a block or refusal
• Making sure all card details were entered correctly (number, expiration date, security code, and billing address)
In some cases, the card network may block the charge for security reasons. The amount is not held, the payment is simply declined.
The prices are dynamic and reflect the availability of seats in real time.
If someone else buys in the middle of the process, or if the chosen rate is sold out, the amount may go up before you complete the purchase.
Therefore, we recommend completing the payment as soon as possible after selecting the flight.

The best way to ensure that all travelers stay together is to choose seats in advance, before automatic booking (which begins 60 hours before the flight).
Depending on the rate and your Smiles category, this choice may have an additional cost.
If seats are not chosen, automatic booking will attempt to keep travelers from the same Reservation together, but this is not guaranteed.
