Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book award flights for TAP Air Portugal to Europe during the first two weeks of January, as this is typically when availability opens up for travel in the spring and summer months, especially for popular routes like Lisbon to Paris.
Sweet Spot
You can redeem 80,000 miles for a round-trip business class ticket from New York (JFK) to Lisbon (LIS), which typically costs around $3,500 in cash.
Routing Trick
Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Lisbon (LIS) with a stopover in Porto (OPO) to take advantage of the open-jaw routing rule, saving approximately 3,000 miles compared to a direct round-trip to Lisbon, as the JFK-LIS round-trip is 8,000 miles while JFK-LIS-OPO-LIS-JFK totals about 5,000 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.
