Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
To maximize your chances of finding award availability with TAP Air Portugal, book your flights for the summer months of June through August at least six months in advance, specifically targeting popular routes like Lisbon to New York (JFK) or Boston (BOS) during mid-week travel days (Tuesday or Wednesday).
Sweet Spot
Using 100,000 miles with TAP Air Portugal, you can book a round-trip business class ticket from the East Coast USA to Lisbon, which typically costs around $3,000 in cash, offering excellent value at 3 cents per mile.
Routing Trick
You can book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Lisbon (LIS) and then on to Johannesburg (JNB) for just 60,000 miles instead of the typical 80,000 miles for a direct JFK to JNB route, saving 20,000 miles.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with TAP Air Portugal for routes to North America, as they often impose high fees, including a fuel surcharge of around $300 per round trip.
