Portuguese Star Alliance member TAP is running a business class sale on many of its routes to North America. This means that you can fly to cities such as New York and Washington, or even Miami for less than €1,300. Flights to Canada and Mexico are even available for less than €1,100.
Our calendar displays all available dates. Simply select your preferred destination and dates, and we’ll redirect you to our Travel-Dealz flight search, where you’ll find the cheapest online travel agency. You can also be redirected to TAP’s booking site, though the price is roughly €100 higher there.
Here are the highlights of the many possible routes:
- Montreal: €1,095
- Toronto: €1,095
- Cancún: €1,097
- Washington, D.C.: €1,293
- Miami: €1,293

The long-haul flights always depart from Lisbon. These business class tickets include 2 pieces of luggage, as well as all the other usual business class comforts.
Not too long ago, TAP’s Executive Class was infamously subpar. By now, however, all planes have been equipped with new seats that can be converted into fully flat beds and offer quite a high comfort. The service is also said to be very friendly.
Search & Book
The cheap tickets are available from October until June if you stay at least 5 days or a night from Saturday to Sunday in the USA before flying back. Furthermore, the deal expires on October 2, 2022.
To find your preferred travel dates, we would advise using Google Flights (instructions). You can find the cheapest prices on our Travel-Dealz flight search. Booking on TAP’s website is roughly €100 more expensive.

Information & Tips for USA
The USA offers many sights, natural wonders and cultural significance. Thanks to numerous airlines offering flights across the Atlantic, it is always pretty inexpensive to get there. Alternatively, you can also cross the Atlantic by boat.
Immigration, ESTA & Visa Requirements
The USA has one of the strictest entry regulations in the world. Most EU citizens, among others, are lucky to be able to participate in the so-called Visa Waiver Program. If you get an electronic entry permit (ESTA) for approximately €20, you don’t need a visa for entry.
The Best Time to Visit
Due to its sheer size, the perfect time to visit the USA varies greatly from region to region. In winter, Florida is very popular due to the mild temperatures. In the summer the West and East Coasts are flooded by tourists which drives up the prices for hotels and flights and during the Indian Summer in late autumn New England is a very popular destination. The hurricane season between July and September can be dangerous in the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico. Florida and the southern states are regularly struck by these tropical storms. Blizzards occur from the East Coast to the Midwest during the winter months and regularly put air traffic and public life on hold.
Currency
The US dollar is widely used throughout the world and accepted as a currency in most tourist hotspots worldwide. That being said, carrying cash isn’t necessary in the US, all you need is a credit card! These are very common in the USA and are accepted pretty much everywhere without any issues. If you already have a credit card in your wallet, you should make sure that it does not charge a foreign currency fee if possible. Carrying a few dollars in cash doesn’t hurt though. You might need cash e.g. for the bus ticket if you want to buy it directly from the driver. Most of the time you even have to give exact change.
