Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book award flights with TAP Air Portugal for travel to Europe from the U.S. in early December, as availability tends to open up significantly around this time due to lower demand post-Thanksgiving.

Sweet Spot

You can fly from Lisbon to the Azores for just 10,000 miles, which typically costs around $200 in cash.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from New York City (JFK) to Lisbon (LIS) with a stopover in Porto (OPO) for 10,000 miles instead of flying directly to Lisbon, saving approximately 1,000 miles compared to a direct booking of 11,000 miles.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid TAP Air Portugal for transatlantic flights, as they often charge high fees, including a $300 fuel surcharge on round-trip tickets.
