You Can Get a Free Long Stay in Portugal Now
Budget Portuguese airline TAP Air Portugal offers flights to several European cities from several US cities, where you can, if you wish, make an extended stopover in Portugal en route to your actual destination in Europe. This essentially gives you a two-for-one offer on a flight from an airline that already has a discount. Here’s how you can take advantage of it.
TAP Air Portugal Connection Deal
Some European airlines allow you to connect in their home country during the booking process, such as Island Air, which offers free connections in Reykjavik en route to Europe. TAP Air Portugal has an entire program dedicated to this benefit , which will show you how to add extended delays to your flight. You can add a stopover of up to 10 days in Lisbon, Porto, Algarve, Azores or Madeira before departing for your final destination or upon return at no additional charge.
