Star Alliance member, TAP Air Portugal offers business class flights from New York to Oslo, Amsterdam, and Zürich starting at US$1,869 (~€1,747). The fare includes two checked bags, weighing 32 kilograms or 70 pounds, lounge access, and good mileage. You can also add a stopover in Portugal for a cheap price.
Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates at the lowest price for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to Momondo with your selected flight dates. There, you can choose between TAP’S US website and online travel agencies. While they are US$50 (~€47) cheaper, we recommend booking business class tickets through the airline. You can also get to TAP’s European website where you can pay with euros.
You would fly TAP’s Airbus A321LRs, which offer lie-flat seats in an alternating 2-2 and 1-1 layout, offering throne or double seats. The short flights would be in Eurobusiness: 3-3 configuration with the middle seats blocked.
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. The service is also said to be very friendly.
Search & Book
According to the fare rules, this fare will expire on June 30, 2023. There is a minimum stay of 5 nights or a Saturday night and a maximum stay of 12 months.
You can use our calendar above that will show you availabilities. Once you selected your dates, it will forward you to either TAP’s European website or Momondo with your chosen flight dates. In this case, we don’t recommend booking through online travel agencies (OTAs), as they only offer these flights US$50 (~€47) cheaper.
You can also search more specifically on Google Flights (instructions) for example by setting filters. You can then use our Go2 browser extension to book your flights.
Adding a Portugal Stopover
TAP has been offering its Portugal Stopover service for a long time. The airline allows you to visit Porto or Lisbon for free – now for up to 10 days. They even offer activities or services at a discount in the two cities. You have two options to book your stopover.
Via TAP’s search
By far, the easiest option to book a stopover is to use TAP’s website and follow these three simple steps.
Time needed: 2 minutes
- Select “Add a TAP Stopover Halfway” in the search box
When looking for flights on TAP’s website, click on the “Add a TAP Stopover halfway” button after filling in you route (you don’t have to add the dates, as you’d have to select them again in the next step anyways).
- Fill in the Stopover Details
A pop-up will show up asking you for details about your stopover. Select the travel dates, the city, the direction and the number of nights you want to spend in Portugal. If you’re adding the stopover on your outbound flight, make sure you respect the original flight’s minimum stay requirements.
- Select the flights
TAP will then forward you to the booking page, where it already shows the flights preselected with prices displayed, avoiding the annoying multi-city lottery game that many airlines still use. You can set filters, such as the one which will show you flights in Executive Class. By clicking on the “Book these flights” button, you can finish your booking.
On Go2
You can also add the stopover using our Go2 search box. Select a return flight pair and add a trip in the middle, while respecting the minimum stay requirements and the max 10 days in Portugal restriction. Then, it will forward you to either the Travel-Dealz.com flight search or to TAP’s website.
