TAP Air Portugal has launched a limited-time promotion, offering a 30% discount on award bookings. The discount applies to both economy and business class redemptions made by November 18, 2024, for travel by May 15, 2025.

Miles&Go, TAP’s loyalty program, can offer some interesting redemptions for U.S.-based flyers. The airline has a relatively large network in Europe and the Americas, where it serves several U.S. cities. Looking at award seats on its flights could be worth your while.

Let’s look at what this promotion includes.

Fly to Portugal for 40,000 Miles Round-Trip Next Year

TAP advertises sale prices on its site as beginning from 40,000 miles round-trip from the U.S. and Canada.

From TAP’s hub in Lisbon (LIS), you can travel to other destinations in mainland Portugal for 4,500 miles round-trip, or to the Azores and Madeira for 7,700. Cities in Europe will cost you 8,400 miles, and Africa 33,000.

Booking must be complete by November 18, 2024, Portugal time (5 hours ahead of U.S. Eastern time). Travel must be between January 14 and May 15, 2025, with a blackout period from April 7 to 22, 2025.

The discount is valid only on flights operated by TAP and its regional subsidiary, TAP Express. It cannot be applied to TAP’s Star Alliance partners, such as United Airlines and Air Canada.

In North America, TAP serves 9 airports from Lisbon: Boston (BOS)Chicago (ORD)New York (JFK)Newark (EWR)Washington, D.C. (IAD)Miami (MIA)San Francisco (SFO), Toronto (YYZ), and Montreal (YUL). It also flies from Newark to Oporto (OPO).

Hot Tip:

If you’re based in the U.S. and fly TAP only occasionally, keep in mind that the airline is a member of Star Alliance, like United Airlines, and another big player in North America, Air Canada. You can earn (and spend) United and Air Canada miles on its flights, rather than TAP’s own Miles&Go miles.

How To Earn TAP Miles&Go Miles

There are several ways for people based in the U.S. to earn TAP’s Miles&Go miles besides actual flying. You can, for example, transfer points from Marriott Bonvoy or Capital One miles.

The airline also issues a co-branded credit card in the U.S., the TAP Miles&Go American Express® Card from Cardless.

The TAP Miles&Go Amex card has an annual fee, but at $79 per year, it‘s at the lower end of the scale for airline co-branded cards. Cardholders receive 3x miles per $1 spent on TAP Air Portugal purchases, 2x miles on ride-share services, hotels, and car rentals, and 1x miles on all other purchases.

Final Thoughts

Portugal is a relatively short flight from the U.S. East Coast and is a very popular vacation and remote-work destination. Getting there on points can be very attractive, and this promotion from Portuguese flag carrier TAP could be interesting.

Play around with dates and destinations on the TAP site before committing to a points transfer to Miles&Go, since points transfers are generally not reversible.
