The two carriers that are teaming up to bring this nice deal to you, are actually not known to be partners. But Virgin Atlantic and TAP Portugal are cooperating and selling discounted tickets for flights from Lisbon to Shanghai. Your round-trip can be purchased at prices starting at €344.
The price includes a full onboard service as well as checked luggage. Availability is decent starting from October all through to May 2020. Unfortunately, winter holidays seem to be blackout dates.
Your trip will include one layover in London. The short-haul flight will be operated by TAP or, in some cases, by British Airways. During the long-haul connecting you’ll be on board of a Virgin Atlantic Boeing 787.
Search & Book
According to the fare rules, tickets will only be sold until September 26th. So there’s not too much time left if you’re interested in this deal. The offer is valid for trips commencing between now and June 25th. Although availability stops in early June.
The Saturday night rule is the requirement for your minimum stay while you could spend up to 12 months in Shanghai and still benefit from this low fare.
Google Flights (instructions) will display all connections. Use the dates you found to compare prices via our Travel Dealz flights search or book directly with the carrier. Please note that you might have to call Virgin Atlantic to book your flights.
Tickets for short-haul segments will be issued in booking class O (British Airways) or E (TAP). The connections from Europe to Shangai will be in O (Virgin Atlantic). While the flights within Europe won’t earn you too many miles, at least the flight with Virgin Atlantic could get you a 50% earning rates with some of the carrier’s partner airlines.
