Whatever the fare you buy includes — baggage is set by the carrier and fare class, not the route.

Compare totals with your bags added, because a dearer fare with bags included is often cheaper overall.
How do I survive the long-haul flight from Hamburg to São Paulo?
Roughly 12.8 hours in the air is a genuine endurance event, and three choices decide most of it: pick your seat when booking (aisle for freedom, window for sleep), decide your sleep strategy before boarding rather than halfway through, and book your São Paulo transfer in advance so the arrival half of the journey is already solved when you land, tired.
