It looks like those fares are one-way and no baggage included.
After all said and done, my "discounted" ticket from SFO to Paris was over $1100.
And you have to stop in Lisboa, while other companies have direct flights to CDG. Not a good deal.

nahh, precovid still had way better deals.

TAP never includes checked bag for their economy/basic and most people will want/need at least 1 check bag BOTH ways so youll have to pay for those 2 times.

cheapest i was able to get was $464 round trip with checked bag both ways. without it, it would be in the low-mid 300s.

Aren't the TAP baggage handlers on strike? I saw something recently on r/portugal about terrible ground services and some conflict between the airline and support services.

That's the catch..... fares look good but by the time you add back what everyone would consider normal for such a trip - bags, choosing seats, etc, the fares are actually high. TAP now has the pricing structure of outfits like Frontier and Spirit - if you just want a seat on the plane and just wearing the clothes on your back, the fares are cheap. Everything after that is nickel and dime.

The "big" carriers are even following suit. My IL's asked me to look into tickets from NYC to ROM in September. Found deals on Delta, direct, for around $580 or so IIRC. Great I thought.... only to find out the fares were BE, which is basically no checked bags, no assigned seats, etc. Adding a checked bag for each (Europe for 2 weeks..... come on who the hell doesn't check a bag?) and the fare was closely approaching Main Cabin (which is ironically the same seats as BE, just with more "privileges"); plus, there are major change restrictions on BE fares, so I went with the MC fares for them which were more like $710/ea.

My wife and I have been VERY good about traveling abroad without check bags. We have to travel light and used a lot of low cost airlines in Europe BUT beware European airlines have strict weight limits, so beware you may be stopped to pay overweight feesā€¦. Make sure you read all the T&Cs.

I'm not saying it's impossible, but the vast majority of people would likely be checking a bag for such a long, far away trip, and probably wouldn't be thinking about that with the promise of a low fare. Also, I'd imagine most people traveling together would like to sit together as well, and with BE fares and low cost carriers, that isn't guaranteed. It COULD happen or could not.

WASHINGTON, July 26 (Reuters) - The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and State Department on Monday both warned against travel to Spain, Portugal, Cyprus and Kyrgyzstan because of a rising number of COVID-19 cases in those countries.

Be careful out there guys

I've never once had a good experience on TAP, they are one of the worst. Either crazy delayed, baggage issues, or food poisoning, with a lackluster staff and outdated jets. Even business in their A330 Neo was a disappointment.

If it wasn't for the fact that they are Star Alliance, I wouldn't end up on them by choice.

Flew tap a couple of times and they are fine but since Covid I would not recommend. They have all these amazing prices for flight that are not really taking off. My experience was for a sfo that didn't took off for months until they finally canceled my ticket without informing me! Took months of chat, Twitter and so on to have the money back and that only happened when I contacted the us department of transportation!

Was wondering about that. Never flown with them but anything I've heard from others seemed to always be negative or meh at best.

Flew with TAP once before the pandemic began. It was early December 2019. Bought the ticket for $190 from Chicago to Barcelona with free stop over at Lisbon. And it also included a checked bag. It was such a slick deal. I agree with others. The prices are way more expensive than pre-covid now. Hopefully it'll go back normal soon.
But i had a great experience with TAP. If you think its a good price, you cant go wrong with star alliance. Safe travel!
