Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book your award flights to Europe with TAP Air Portugal in early January for travel in late March to avoid peak summer demand and secure better availability on routes like Lisbon to New York or Boston.
Sweet Spot
You can redeem 70,000 miles for a round-trip business class ticket from the East Coast of the U.S. to Lisbon, which typically costs around $3,000 in cash.
Routing Trick
Using TAP Air Portugal, you can book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Lisbon (LIS) and then onward to Barcelona (BCN) and return to New York for just 40,000 miles instead of 60,000 miles if booked separately, saving 20,000 miles.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with TAP Air Portugal on transatlantic routes, as they often impose high fees, such as a $600 fuel surcharge on award tickets.
