Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
To maximize award availability with TAP Air Portugal, book your flights for summer travel (June to August) at least 6 months in advance, particularly for popular routes like Lisbon to New York City, as availability tends to fill up quickly during this peak season.
Sweet Spot
You can redeem 60,000 miles for a round-trip business class ticket from New York (JFK) to Lisbon (LIS), which typically costs around $2,500 in cash.
Routing Trick
Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Lisbon (LIS) via Porto (OPO) instead of direct, saving approximately 2,000 miles compared to a direct flight, while also allowing for an additional stopover in Porto.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with TAP Air Portugal on transatlantic routes, as they often impose a fuel surcharge of up to $600 on award tickets.
