Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book your award flights to Europe with TAP Air Portugal from mid-January to mid-February, specifically for routes like Lisbon to New York, as this is typically when availability is highest due to post-holiday travel lulls.
Sweet Spot
You can redeem 90,000 miles for a round-trip business class ticket from the US East Coast to Lisbon, which typically costs around $3,500 in cash.
Routing Trick
Booking a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Lisbon (LIS) via TAP Air Portugal, then continuing to São Paulo (GRU) and back to Lisbon, can save you about 10,000 miles compared to booking each segment separately, as the total distance is approximately 5,200 miles instead of 15,000 miles for a direct return.
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 to the U.S. from Europe.
