Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book your TAP Air Portugal award flights for travel to Europe in mid-January (around January 15th) for the best availability, particularly on routes from New York (JFK) to Lisbon (LIS).
Sweet Spot
You can redeem 50,000 miles for a round-trip business class ticket from the East Coast (e.g., New York City) to Lisbon, which typically costs around $3,500 in cash.
Routing Trick
Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Lisbon (LIS) and then to Porto (OPO) before returning to New York, as this routing can save approximately 10,000 miles compared to booking the same segments separately due to TAP's open-jaw and stopover policies.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with TAP Air Portugal on transatlantic routes, as they often impose high fees, such as $600 in fuel surcharges on award tickets.
