Canary Islands, Azores, Madeira, Porto & Lisbon: TAP Business Class from Stockholm Starting at €424

Star Alliance member TAP will fly you all the way from Stockholm to the Macaronesian islands (Azores, Madeira, Canary Islands) and mainland Portugal for €450 (~SEK 5,206) in business class. Nonstop tickets to Lisbon are available as well for only at €459 (~SEK 5,310).

You can reach the following destinations for less than €600 (~SEK 6,941):

• Porto at €450 (~SEK 5,206)
• Gran Canaria at €455 (~SEK 5,264)
• Lisbon at €459 (~SEK 5,310)
• Tenerife at €491 (~SEK 5,680)
• Ponta Delgada at €542 (~SEK 6,270)
• Madeira at €557 (~SEK 6,444)

Almost all connections to the Canary Islands require an overnight layover in Lisbon.

Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates at the lowest price for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to Skyscanner with your selected flight dates. Booking directly on TAP’s website costs roughly €25 more.

You would first fly to Lisbon and then fly on to the islands. If you want, you can stay in Lisbon for up to 5 days before continuing your trip. TAP has planned Airbus A320 family aircraft on most of these routes. The main differences between business and economy are free food and drink services, a little extra seat patch and an empty middle seat.

Occasionally, TAP uses its long-haul A321neo aircraft on short haul flights. You can expect lie-flat seats in an alternating 2-2 and 1-1 pattern on these flights.

Search & Book

According to the fare rules, these tickets are valid without a specific travel or sales period. A minimum stay of three days or one Saturday applies to some destinations. You can find these fares scattered throughout the year.

Our calendar displays available dates for trips of up to 4 weeks. For longer trips, feel free to check out Google Flights. You can then head to Skyscanner to find the cheapest OTA, or book directly on TAP’s website.

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.

Mileage

The tickets are issued in booking class J. To give you an example, flying to Tenerife (and back) would get you:

With a credit of 200% of the travel distance, TAP’s J booking class is one of the most attractive for Star Alliance frequent flyers.
