Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book award flights on TAP Air Portugal for travel to Europe from the U.S. during January and February, as availability tends to be higher and fewer travelers are competing for seats during this off-peak season.
Sweet Spot
You can fly from Boston to Lisbon for just 50,000 miles one-way in business class, while the typical cash price for this route is around $2,500.
Routing Trick
Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Lisbon (LIS) with a stopover in Porto (OPO) for 50,000 miles instead of flying directly to Lisbon, saving approximately 5,000 miles while enjoying an additional destination.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with TAP Air Portugal on transatlantic routes, as they often charge high fuel surcharges, typically around $600-$800 per round trip, significantly increasing the cost of using miles.
