Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book award flights for TAP Air Portugal to Europe in January or February, as these months often have lower demand and better availability, especially on routes from New York (JFK) to Lisbon (LIS).
Sweet Spot
You can redeem 40,000 miles for a round-trip business class ticket from the East Coast (like New York) to Lisbon, which typically costs around $2,500 in cash.
Routing Trick
Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Lisbon (LIS) with a stopover in Porto (OPO) to utilize TAP's stopover program, allowing you to explore both cities for the same 40,000 miles instead of booking two separate tickets, saving approximately 10,000 miles compared to a direct round-trip to Lisbon.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with TAP Air Portugal on transatlantic routes, as they often impose high fees up to $400 for fuel surcharges on award tickets.
