CA$1,638/ €1,144 Nonstop TAP Business Class from Toronto to Lisbon

Star Alliance member Air Portugal offers a great deal of awesome business class fares this week. While most of the deals benefit European passengers, our friends in Canada can score cheap tickets, as well: Nonstop tickets from Toronto to Lisbon are available for as little as CA$1,638 (~€1,118). You can get discounted premium tickets in the other direction, too.

Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates at the lowest price for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to Momondo with your preselected flight dates. You can also check what TAP has to offer, as they sell these tickets up to CA$40 (~€27) more expensive.

TAP uses Airbus A321 LR aircraft for its two daily flights between Lisbon and Toronto. While a narrow body might seem an unusual choice for a transatlantic flight, you can expect a full-fledged business class cabin with lie-flat seats. Our author Ditmar tested the product in Spring of 2022 and enjoyed the experience:

Search & Book

Tickets are on sale until January 15, 2023 for travel in 2023. You need to stay at least five nights or one night from Saturday to Sunday in Europe to the lowest fare. A maximum stay of one month applies. Availability is fairly good in January, February and November.

You can find additional flight dates on Google Flights. We normally advise you to purchase business class tickets directly on the airline’s website. We recommend going to Momondo and seeing what OTAs have to offer, so you can compare prices.

Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?

More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:

Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.

If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.

This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.

Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.

This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.
