2 for 1 Vacation Hack: TAP Air Portugal's Stop-Over Program
In this post we cover the details for TAP Air Portugal's Stop-Over Program and how it will allow you to turn your connection in Portugal into a 2nd vacation destination for no additional flight cost.
Exploring the world often means making tough choices about where to spend your time and money. But what if you didn’t have to choose? TAP Air Portugal’s Stopover Program is a game-changer for travelers who want to maximize every trip. Instead of wasting a layover in an airport lounge, this program lets you turn it into a mini-vacation in Portugal—without paying extra for airfare.
Imagine sipping port wine in Porto, strolling Lisbon’s historic neighborhoods, or even hopping a quick flight to the Azores—all while on your way to another destination. Here’s everything you need to know about this incredible travel hack.
How the TAP Stopover Program Works
When you book a flight with TAP Air Portugal, you’ll have the option to add a stopover in either Lisbon or Porto, depending on your route. This option is available on both one-way and round-trip tickets, and the best part is there are no additional airfare costs for adding the stopover.
TAP designed the program to make layovers feel like bonus vacations. Instead of sitting in an airport, you can step out and explore one of Europe’s most exciting countries.
Duration and Flexibility
The stopover can last anywhere from 1 to 10 days (1 to 10 nights), giving you the freedom to shape your itinerary however you’d like. Whether you only have time for a quick city break in Lisbon or want to spend a full week exploring the coast, the program gives you the flexibility to design the trip around your travel style.
Added Bonus: Domestic Flight Discounts
Here’s where the program gets even better. During your stopover, you can take advantage of a 25% discount (excluding airport taxes) on any TAP domestic flight. That means you can add a second stop inside Portugal for less.
Want to see both Lisbon and Porto? Easy. Interested in heading south to the Algarve for beach time? Done. And if you’ve been dreaming about the volcanic landscapes of the Azores—a Portuguese territory TAP serves—you can apply the discount there too. TAP’s domestic flights are already inexpensive, and with an extra 25% off, you could find yourself experiencing three destinations instead of just two on a single trip.
