Update:

The offer mentioned below has expired and is no longer available.

TAP Air Portugal, Portugal’s flag carrier, is offering round-trip economy fares from across the U.S. to Barcelona (BCN) and Madrid (MAD) starting at just $365!

TAP also offers a great stopover deal, meaning you can tag on some extra days in Lisbon for free on either end of your trip.

Here’s more information about the deal and how you can book it yourself.

Fare Deal — Details

If you didn’t get a chance to hop across the pond to Europe this summer, then you might want to consider this great fare with TAP.

As a full-service carrier, you’ll even get a meal and a carry-on bag included with these super low fares.

TAP is also a member of the Star Alliance, which means if you have elite status with United or any other Star Alliance member airline, you’ll be able to benefit from those all-important perks you’re used to, such as priority boarding, check-in, and lounge access.

You’ll also earn miles for this booking, so don’t forget to add your relevant frequent flyer number.

  • Class: Economy
  • Routes: Chicago (ORD), Miami (MIA), Newark (EWR), and Washington, D.C. (IAD) to Barcelona (BCN) and Madrid (MAD)
  • Dates: October 2024 to March 2025
  • Rates: As low as $365

There are sub-$400 fares available to Barcelona and Madrid from the 4 U.S. cities mentioned above, with the lowest from Chicago to Barcelona for $365.

The return leg has a long layover in Lisbon which provides the perfect opportunity to make the most of TAP’s free layover in Lisbon.

Best Ways To Book

Using a travel rewards credit card to pay for these flights will get you even more value.

A great option would be The Platinum Card® from American Express as you’d earn 5x Membership Rewards points on bookings directly with the airline or through AmexTravel.com (up to $500,000 in purchases per calendar year, then 1x).

Hot Tip:

One of the best perks of the Amex Platinum card is a complimentary Priority Pass membership (upon enrollment). Once enrolled, you’ll have lounge access when flying any airline, regardless of the class or your elite status.

Final Thoughts

A demure Spanish and Portuguese adventure awaits you from just $365, thanks to TAP. The 2 countries on the Iberian peninsula are bursting with history and culture and are great to visit all year round. Will it be cosmopolitan Madrid or the beach vibes of Barcelona?
