Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book your TAP Air Portugal award flights for travel from New York (JFK) to Lisbon (LIS) during the months of January to early March, as availability tends to be more generous and mileage requirements are often lower during this off-peak season.
Sweet Spot
You can redeem 30,000 miles for a round-trip in business class from the East Coast (like New York) to Lisbon, which typically costs around $2,000 in cash.
Routing Trick
You can fly from New York (JFK) to Lisbon (LIS) to Madrid (MAD) and back to New York, effectively taking advantage of TAP's stopover policy, which allows for a free stopover in Lisbon, saving you about 5,000 miles compared to booking a direct JFK to MAD round trip.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying TAP Air Portugal for routes involving the U.S. to Europe, as they often charge high fees, such as a $300 fuel surcharge on award tickets.
