Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book award flights with TAP Air Portugal for travel to Europe during the off-peak season from mid-January to mid-March, particularly for routes like Lisbon to New York, as availability tends to be better and fewer miles are often required.
Sweet Spot
You can redeem 250,000 miles for a round-trip business class ticket from the U.S. East Coast to Europe with TAP Air Portugal, where typical cash prices can exceed $3,500.
Routing Trick
Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Lisbon (LIS) and then continue to a secondary destination in Europe like Barcelona (BCN) using TAP, which can save you up to 10,000 miles compared to booking separate tickets for each leg.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with TAP Air Portugal on transatlantic routes, as they often impose a high fuel surcharge of around $300 to $600 per ticket, significantly increasing the cost of using miles.
