Rome in lie-flat business class for $2,395 is excellent value, especially considering it’s around $1,000 cheaper than you’ll usually pay. Better still, there’s even availability over Christmas!

The flights are with Portuguese flag carrier TAP Air Portugal and feature a stop in Lisbon (LIS) in both directions.

Here’s more information on the offer and how to book it for yourself.

Fare Deal — Details

These TAP business class fares include 2 checked bags, all meals and drinks included, and lie-flat beds on its flagship Airbus A330-900neo aircraft.

Some connections in Lisbon involve an overnight layover, an excellent opportunity to take advantage of TAP’s free stopover program. The program also includes discounts on hotels.

Class: Business
Routes: Los Angeles (LAX) to Rome (FCO) via Lisbon (LIS)
Dates: From November 2025 to May 2026
Rates: From $2,395 round-trip

This is a very rare example of when a deal includes Christmas travel!

Hot Tip:

If you have MileagePlus elite status with United Airlines (or any other Star Alliance airline), add your frequent flyer number to the booking so you don’t miss out on earning miles and any status perks and benefits you might have.

Best Ways To Book

I found this deal by playing with Google Flights‘ handy “Explore” tool.

To secure one of these excellent fares, we recommend using a credit card that rewards you for booking flights.

An excellent option would be The Platinum Card^® from American Express — a high-end card that you’ll find in most of our wallets here at Upgraded Points.

For example, paying for these flights directly through TAP’s website (or via AmexTravel.com) would earn you 5 Membership Rewards points per $1 spent (limit of $500,000 per year of these purchases, then 1 point per $1).

Final Thoughts

Now could be the perfect time to plan that luxury trip to Rome. It’s a long way to go from the West Coast, so flying in a lie-flat bed and getting a free stopover in Lisbon is a great deal for $2,395.
