For most travellers, the journey is just a means to an end—you pack your bags, head to the airport and wait to arrive at your destination. But imagine beginning your next European journey with not one, but two jaw-dropping locations, all for the price of one.
When it comes to TAP Air Portugal, it’s about both the journey and the destination. From the moment you step onboard, you’re in Portugal with the warm welcomes of their flight attendants, the fresh, singular tastes of Portuguese cuisine and wines, and both international and Portuguese entertainment onboard.
TAP’s Portugal Stopover program invites you to spend up to 10 days exploring Lisbon’s historic charm or Porto’s picturesque beauty at no extra cost. Even if your final destination lies beyond Portugal, among TAP’s 43 European and African destinations, you can enjoy this unique stopover on either your outbound or return journey. Six-time winner of the World’s Best Stopover program award, this offer also includes a 25 per cent discount on TAP airfare to a second domestic destination.
No need to wait for arrival—your culinary adventure begins the moment you board TAP Air Portugal. The airline is dedicated to bringing Portugal’s vibrant food scene to life in every meal and product offering, both in economy and business class.
This August, Chef Rodrigo Castelo, recognized with both a Michelin Star and a Green Star for sustainability, has crafted an exclusive menu for business class passengers featuring river crayfish from the Lezíria do Tejo region. This unique dish not only highlights Portugal’s rich culinary traditions but also promotes environmental balance by using an invasive species from the Tagus River, the longest river in the Iberian Peninsula.
TAP’s Local Stars program, a partnership with The Art of Tasting Portugal, elevates the onboard dining experience by collaborating with 12 acclaimed Portuguese chefs. Each business class menu reflects the diverse and dynamic flavours of Portugal, offering a charming preview of the country’s evolving food scene before you even touch down. With every bite, you enjoy the essence of Portugal, from its fresh local ingredients to its innovative culinary techniques.
Enjoy a first-class experience no matter where you’re seated. From wine lovers to casual sippers to dedicated connoisseurs, you will find a treasure trove in TAP’s exceptional selection of Portuguese wines. With an impressive collection of 500,000 bottles sourced annually from eight distinct regions, the airline highlights the finest of Portugal’s winemaking traditions. From the bold, robust reds hailing from Lisbon’s sun-kissed coastal vineyards to the bright, refreshing whites produced in the verdant Vinho Verde region, each glass offers a delightful exploration of Portugal. This curated selection not only complements your meal but sets the stage for an exceptional and memorable journey.
With TAP Air Portugal, your European adventure starts before you even reach your final destination. From exploring Lisbon or Porto through the free Portugal Stopover program to tasting world-class cuisine and wines onboard, TAP transforms your regular travel experience into a journey of discovery and delight.
