The Portuguese Star Alliance member, TAP, is selling business class tickets from Dublin to New York for as little as €1,281. You can also fly to other destinations in the USA and Canada for slightly higher prices. As usual with TAP, the option of adding a free stopover in Lisbon makes this deal even better!
You can fly to the following cities for less than €1,500:
These prices can be found from now until April, as well as from late August 2024 onwards. Feel free to search for availability using our form below:
In some cases, you can get slightly lower prices with a long layover in Lisbon. We have filtered out these results.
TAP uses an Embraer 195 for its flight from Dublin to Lisbon. There, you’ll either board an Airbus A321neo to New York, Washington, or Toronto or an Airbus A330-900neo to Chicago.
Not too long ago, TAP’s Executive Class was infamously subpar. By now, however, all planes have been equipped with new seats that can be converted into fully flat beds and offer quite a high comfort. Especially the Throne seat on the long-range A321 is top-notch, being twice as big as other seats.
Search & Book
The fare rules merely state a minimum stay requirement of 5 days (or a Sunday). Availability is highest between January and May 2024, but there are also quite a few dates after August 2024. Our calendar displays all available dates, as does Google Flights. We recommend booking directly on TAP’s website.
Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?
More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:
Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.
If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.
This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.
Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.
This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.
Adding a Stopover in Lisbon
In some cases, spending at least 24 hours in Lisbon, especially on the outbound flight, can even reduce the total price. But even if the price stays the same, this is a great opportunity to explore the Portuguese capital at no extra (flight) cost.
To add a stopover, you need to book these flights as a multi-city ticket leaving between 1-5 days between your arrival and your departure from Lisbon. You can either add the stopover on the outbound or the inbound journey. Here’s an example, where you’d spend 2 nights in Lisbon on your way back from New York:

Destination
Information & Tips for USA
The United States offers a wide range of tourist sights, from national parks like Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon to cities such as New York, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C. The currency is the U.S. dollar (USD), and card payments are widely accepted. Prices vary by region but can be high in major cities, especially for accommodation and dining. Weather differs greatly across the country—winters can be harsh in the north, while the south often stays mild; summers are generally hot and humid in many areas.
The U.S. transport infrastructure is highly car-dependent, especially outside major cities. Urban centres like New York, Chicago, and San Francisco have functional public transit, but many other cities have limited options. Between cities, domestic flights are common for long distances, while intercity buses and Amtrak trains cover some routes, though often with slower speeds and less frequency compared to other countries. Without a car, getting around can be inconvenient in many parts of the country.
